I'm not gonna comment on the "called him out to race" comment. So let it be known, I was not standing up for the guy asking for the link, just expressing my opinion. Everyone, go back to bashing him.

Was that directed towards me or the other guy?

If I wasn't at the shootout, I wouldn't have spent $20 on it. The filming was pretty good, but some of the editing was not my cup of tea. But to each his own.

I didn't know people still used "Windows Movie Maker."I feel bad for the guy, so I'm not gonna talk shit...

Where do I start:The starter is easy as pie now that I've done it about 7 times from the first two cars I owned.The head wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be, only thing that got me in trouble was rushing when I put it back together. I believe I finally learned my lesson of...

From what I'm understanding that my buddy told me, I most likely didn't fully seal the water pump when I installed it.

I've checked the coolant under the cap and it is green with no oil, and then I checked the oil both under the cap and dipstick and haven't seen any mixture. I've never seen it this white before even when the hg did pop

Is there any other steps I needed to do beside the normal changing the oil steps(taking screw out of pan, taking filter off and put everything back together? Also, why is it coming out between the block/head. Should I start to assume the HG didn't seal properly or something?

Long story short: head gasket blew, replaced it with a new head that a buddy had decked and wasn't using. Put everything back on(this time used a copper sprayed hg instead of a cometic) and put o rings in the block this time instead of leaving them out like the previous owner did. Car has NOT...

They did not measure it, also maybe it wasn't .10, I'll have to call the guy and ask again. I do remember him saying it wasn't that much but to do it just to play it safe.

FiascoXL is my mechanic so I was gonna let him describe everything haha. I did get the head looked at today and the only thing they said to do was shaved. Said it wasn't even a lot but like .10 if I remember correctly, so I'm gonna call the shop they recommended and hope it's not expensive at all.

My buddy thinks one of the valves is cracked. I think that's what he said.

My used head doesn't come in until next week and I probably wont get to start fixing everything until the weekend if not longer away. I need boost therapy, since I had the hx35 on the car for not even two weeks.

I don't know how I didn't see your link. Anyways, thanks for your help.

I'll probably go with SS. Any idea where I can get them?

I didn't pull them out and they aren't in the HG. I thought they were missing but then I thought I was just dumb and blind. I think the shop didn't put them in when they finished the motor.

Update: I got outside to get the pictures. I haven't cleaned the block off yet, sorry.

Hx35 and at most 32.

I didn't expect to get so many replies so quick sorry. First, we looked up the part numbers and they were 1g. Also the rings look like SS I believe. The HG was a cometic 3 ply I guess? We didn't see any cracks or breaks but there was coolant and oil mix. I can get pictures once I go back...

So I bought my 1g back in March from a guy who said that a local shop did the engine for him and it had 2g pistons 1g rods. I didn't get anything in writing because this guy seemed trustworthy. I took the head off yesterday because the car over heated and blew the headgasket. I got a buddy to...

Did you ever check/change the coolant temp sensor. My car wouldn't start last week and was flooding the engine, once I put a new sensor in it started up in a minute. It's a cheap fix(only around $17)

I may be wrong, but the way I understood the dual fan is that the ac fan will also help cool down the motor if it is running. I am not 100% sure though since on all three 1g's I've had, I've never had an AC fan. I now just have my radiator fan with the relay bypass so it helps keep it cooler...

I got my first '90(GST) from a lady for $900. My brother told me what motor was in it and told me to go to the message boards. I finally found some local guys and the rest is "history." First time I rode in FiascoXL's Colt I was hooked at going fast and shitting myself basically. Now I'm on...

I have to wear a Tall shirt because all of mine shrink on me after the first few washes. If there is a Hibbits sports store near your house go there for the tall shirts because they don't stretch and I bought about four and none of them have the neck hole stretching either. They are thick...

So I bought my car back in around March and I've gotten a boost leak from what I can tell(idle rev and air flow isn't right on my link log) so I'm trying to spray and fix all the lines. Today when I was looking to fix everything I noticed the car has seven different lines going. They are all...

The hole is maybe the size of a half inch long if it's lucky, but not very thick, like it barely cut into the tank. I'll try and get a picture today, and I'm also not sure as to what it is running, the guy gave me about 3 gallons of it and I didn't ask because I didn't know you could run...

I hope I put this in the right section, if not I apologize in advance but Long story short but I bought another DSM from a local and it has methanol injection from SNOW I believe, but that's about all I know about the kit. My main concern is today I was taking the battery holder off and saw...

Yeah your not alone on the whole crying.

I forgot I made this post but I came back and I'll answer the questions: I didn't drive the car so it was just sitting for about 8 hours, and I believe the battery was touching the hood which caused it to short from what everyone was telling me. The story about the battery is terrible because...

It looks like I'm probably not gonna do it, because I don't have the money right now to even buy new fluids and the small things that would need to be replaced on the Laser(my parts car) such as the coupler, spark plug wires, and other crap like valve cover gaskets. Oh and an axle. Maybe when...

Well the fire looks like it started at the battery(I still don't know what caused it) but it made its way over to the drivers side and then inside the car and melted the passengers side dash and was on fire for about a total minutes of 10 minutes. I gotta try and get the cables off of it first...

so my car caught on fire on monday and it looks like the battery was the one that caused it(I don't know how) but I have my spare DSM that I'm thinking about using as my car now. The only thing is that the car that caught on fire had the transmission in it, so I'm trying to figure out if it...

I really have no idea what could have caused it. I drove it around 7pm last night, and came home from iHop at around 330 am and everything seemed fine. Needless to say less than an hour later it was up in flames. I have never really had a feeling where I thought it was a dream except my...

So I got home from iHop with a friend like an hour ago, and everything was fine and dandy(I thought) and went to bed. I woke up to my neighbor screaming and banging on the doors. I run outside thinking a murder happened or some shit and what do I hear? "Your car is ON FIRE!" so I think he is...

I'd buy one for sure.

That is exactly what I was thinking. I love how all the out of shape guys wear the tapout gear. He should have read his shirt and just tapped out and go somewhere else to get a cheeseburger.

The guy in front of the Integra made me puke. Yeah I called her a guy. It's just wrong.

Do you know why Silva messed around for 5 rounds? I've read in a few different sites that Chael Sonnen was talking trash about how BJJ is not a real thing and was saying Silva didn't deserve anything. So after the fight Silva said he wanted to show what BJJ was all about and let Chael do his...

Where in the world is gainesville?

Very true. I've owned Forza 2 and nearly beat it, and I can admit that without a doubt in my mind GT is a lot better than FORZA. Yeah so it took a trillion years to get released but I still think it was for the better. I did see that when they were talking about the 2g Eclipse they said that...

I'll admit that I went to the opening night of the last movie, and I'll be at the opening night for the next one as well. As stated before me, I like them for the entertainment. And the last movie was great at the theatre because after it was done, I heard VTEC about 10 times over and over...

All I can say is the second movie was by far the worst one I've ever seen. Also to whoever said they bought the VHS of the first one: You are with me, because I remember being in 8th grade and going at midnight with my older brother to WalMart and getting it. NO matter how bad the movies are...

I had GT reserved instead of Call of Duty but then found out it was delayed until January so I bought COD. Then come to find out its going to be released in November after all. So now I gotta find games to sell to be able and buy it.

First: Do you happen to know the name of the movie/whatever you want to call it, because I'd really like to see it. Now to the subject at hand: I have not smoked up in over a year because the medicine I'm on messes with it and I get motion sickness all day from it which is the worst. I...

I've got a TRE stage 2 transmission that I bought off a guy and I knew it had a little "grinding" issue but I didn't know it was as bad as it is. After reading about Jack's I'm really thinking about just saving all my money and saying forget the TRE and buying a Jacks. The sad thing is, the...

I have it and I play online during the evenings. Send me a friend requestOneSortaSlowDSM

Well if that is true, then thats just funny, but I never said I actually got the other shop to tune my car. I don't get shops to tune for me, and you can stand behind him all you want while a lot of other people won't come anywhere near him. We all live in a small area, word spreads. I'm just...

If you knew the first thing about me you would know I don't meet eye to eye with the shops around here, and I gave my opinion that he should find something local instead of driving all the way here, and if he did go here I would recommend the other shop.

You are correct not the time or the place. I'm just gonna keep my opinion to myself, I'd much rather have my car tuned in front of me with people I know and trust. That way I learn and get it tuned at the same time.

What is just too easy good sir?
