    420A Need help, HG job

    Hey check out head resurface on YouTube if you can't find a machine shop. I got the nesscery items and tried it on a old head to see if it would work. Just follow his instructions I thought it was bs but it works and saves 40 bucks. I belive it will cost around 15 bucks for all the nesscery...

    Bless your heart dude if you can't get it this way just hit me up and ill walk you threw but it sounds like if you don't at least get the head resurfaced all you just did was for nothing. 420As are very unforgiving if you skip one step on a rebuild.

    Hey buddy I'm slips96 or shaun what you got? I read your post but not understanding where your having the problem. The bottom sub frame brace should be taking off to get access to the alt, oil sending unit, knock sensor connectors. If you have cruise control unplug the vac lines. If you got...

    96 Mitsubishi eclipse 420A head swap on a base 05 dodge neon 2.0L short block oil pump on the 05 won't work nor the crank shaft position sensor is located in the front of the 05 engine. Will keep an update on this build but its been a challenge.

    Ok just done one and cylinder 1-2 are leaking. I figured where the guy used that drilmal was a bad idea. Well I'm about to pull this motor out I got a guy with a shortblock from an 05 neon, I've noticed the water and oil jackets are bigger but if I use the 05 headgasket and head bolts I should...
