I actually just replaced mines. I had a smoke problem at idle, said it was a blown headgasket/valve stems/etc. Found out that my head was cracked. It's easy if you have the right tools, if you don't then I don't even recommend doing it. The most time consuming it the timing belt job. Tools you...
My car was smoking through the exhaust. Went to a mechanic and they said
I blew a headgasket. Don't know why I listened, but I did and worked on the car myself. I was a noob, but I am greatful I got the chance to do everything from taking the head off to changing the Timing Belt.Right now I...
I have a megan DP thats 2.5" into the 3" apexi full exhaust. the flex section of the DP had to be replaced because it was too big and started leaking, but now its replaced and running fine with a smaller flex. I recommend a good gasket. GL in game 7, BRUINS FTW.
Thanks stevecbr929. I feel more assertive with that write up. Changing the headgasket was pretty easy. Even though it was my first time, I broke 1 exhaust manifold stud, broke 2 studs inside my turbo, and hope my water pipe holds up because i dented it when putting the head back on.I always...
is it possible to do the balance shaft removal kit at this point? Im planning on removing all the pulleys, engine mount, and extras. Then support the motor with a jack. Is this sufficient enough to do the whole job?

Local mechanic said I blew my headgasket. first time experiencing
this mishap, so I decided to do the job myself.I'm at the point where I need to put the timing belt back on. How I took
it off was easy, slipped it off when taking...
I had the same issue when I had an ACT 2600 clutch kit. Took it to a shop, they said that my tranny fluid was almost gone. Should check yours because when he showed me mines, there were metal bits.I went back to a stock clutch due to financial difficulties, but that problem was solved. I...
Thank You. 9!'clipseDOHC
I just finished wiring it all back together. I will look into taking some of the vacuum lines out, didn't know it was possible. Another question if you can help me complete my maintenance.When taking off the head I easily slipped off my timing belt, thinking that I...
I just changed my first headgasket.
Some problems I had was breaking 1 of the exhaust manifold studs.
I also snapped 2 bolts inside my turbo. (Any tips on extraction?)
And now are the vacuum lines.
I need to know which ones goes to the Throttle Body, FPR, Intake Manifold, etc.
I tried to...
