    420a valve pulling

    im trying to remove the valves from my 95 420 head and i cant figure it out. its not worth losing the retainers from them shooting off. the reason im doing so is for a port and polish job. i feel comfortable with going at it myself i just need to get the valves out. any help would be great. thanks

    1G EGR block off plate specs

    oh. ok. well what can i do?? and the motor will still start right?

    Cheap (non-forged) High-comp. pistons

    thats the best way to go if youre looking for cheap. the first head that came on my car was shaved twice. .040 the first and .070 the second. it raised the compression quite a bit.
  17. dubysnax

    420a huge issues!!!

    egr! when that thing goes bad it gunks up everything and can cause major issues. i had a thick bit of stuff on the throttle body and intake manifold. it made the idle run crazy and to the point where it wouldnt stay running without keeping your foot on the gas

    Where to find IAC (Idle Air Control)

    thanks for that. for some its not easy to spot. i had to remove the whole throttle body to get mine off. weird place

    Cheap (non-forged) High-comp. pistons

    the only thing i can say is that i am in the middle of my rebuild and im going with the full engine rebuild kit from ebay which has been recomended from a few friends who run up to 13 lbs of boost on the included pistons. 390. for everything. send them the sizes for rings bearings and cam...

    trouble starting. rebuild??

    ive just came in from getting the head off the block. the valves seem ok. just really cruddy looking. and the tops of the pistons is the same deal. tomorrow the motor is coming out. (im waiting on a engine hoist. and a engine stand) as soon as i get those i will know the extent of the ring...

    trouble starting. rebuild??

    bullett thank you!!! you just cleared it all up for me. its time to save some more money up for a turbo kit. but till then i will rebuild. i will check tomorrow but i think ill need a oil and water pump. and tons of gaskets. so i might as well buy a similar set. without the pistons and buy some...
  23. dubysnax

    trouble starting. rebuild??

    when i drained the oil there were metal shavings and what look like chunks of the rings. the egr was a little black but not stuck.the impala is a 3800. it spun a crank bearing and threw a rod possible 2.

    trouble starting. rebuild??

    its my dd for now. i have a 2001 impala i got from my grandma for nothing. it needs alot of work tho. more than my car. and it got terrible milage. so once im done with school i will boost it. since its 110 miles to school 5 days a week.

    trouble starting. rebuild??

    the first time it was done i had everything put back together after the machine work. they did a shitty job putting it all back together. in tech terms yes. but you knew what i meant. im thinking of getting a head from the yard and having it checked. im worried if it needs to be milled again...

    trouble starting. rebuild??

    7000ths of an inch. i was going to buy rods as well. i dont have any tools to measure the bore or bearing clearances. but when it was milled and had a headgasket about a year and a half ago the shop that did it ####ed me over. the cam retainers were lose and was put together poorly. i had to...

  32. dubysnax

    trouble starting. rebuild??

    7000th. it was really warped. what if i got the forged rods and the rebuild kit?? would that be enough to boost it?? and keep the boost under 10 lbs? i dont have the money to fork out 800 buck for pistons.
  33. dubysnax

    trouble starting. rebuild??

    i have about 260000 miles on my car. most of it has already been rebuilt. but i cheaped out last year by only doing a gasket set instead of full rebuild with pistons. im worried about ordering the kit i found off ebay since it has no rods and i feel they should be replaced. good brands?? and can...
