Damn i would have take out the whole transmission. Thanks for writing back but honestly I don’t think I have that kind of $ or time atm. Plus it’s summer in Florida so temp are like 100 and it’s in the hot sun away from my tools :/ . What’s the worst case scenario that would happen if I put new...

How bad is taking the block off from what I got it down to now? I got a service manual but it don’t say much

No, honestly I’d rather do it right the first time with the head off already. How much does a block weigh? This would be my first time messing with a transmission other then a transfer case.

Naw it’s just derbies. Your right, but honestly tho I would like to just get this thing on the road. Then when I get another car, tear this engine down and put a brand new 1 in

Originally took the head off because of what I assumed to be bent valves. I did a compression test before I took it off and the #’s where mad off from each other. I’m not ganna lie it looks like just chipped carbon but idk I can kinda see where it might be a little “TINK” from a valve.

Are u talking about the first piston(left valve release)

Where does it look like a valve hit a piston at?

Thanks for the input. I just might take the block off since I’m already there, not sure yet tho.

I appreciate brother. Yea I looked up a die grinder and was like theirs no way that wouldn’t chip of the surfac!

Will it scratch the surface. I never used one before

any opinions on how I should clean the block so I can put on another head gasket. It’s pretty bad I know!

I've been on the site for awhile just never got the chance to introduce myself. My names Tyler I got a 96 eclipse RS, nothing too special but its my little work-on car sooo. Took the head off it a couple weeks ago, now just waiting to put it back on to see if it will run. Wish me luck :thumb...
