I didnt know there was a up and down side.

Yeah there is an upside down to a HG. If you get it wrong it could let water in the oil. In the case when i did it( on an 01 ecort 2.0 split port ) the coolant went to the outside of the engine.

Well I put the other head on it, Yes I did get it milled. Everything was level. Last night we went to till it up with anti freeze and water. Poured a whole gallon of both( wonder why it hasn't filled up) I checked the dipstick and it was full of everything. So I went to drain the mixture and that were it all endup. Now I have to take it apart. This is were im at.


Edit: Now I dont know if I put it on backwards. Spencer did you know that all the head studs were loose but 2.

Hand tighten the studs that go into the block... then in the pattern sequence torque them down. Usually something like 45-75-95, can't really remember check your. Book.

Thanks Alex, I know you have wanted it since first time seeing it. Probably end up parting her out this winter.

Heck NO... its one of the baddest DSMs in the state.

I have wanted that car since I first seen it. Wish that money tree would have not died.

I have a nice cozy home for it. Would only come out to play when the weather was nice.

We should toss some cash together and buy Blakes GSX.

You're afraid we'll take it around the block, and by around the block I mean home - ditch the dash and the door sticker and BLAM.

Nah. If you get down to where you're going to part it out later, I'll see if I can't save it. That or pitch me a sweet deal on that Red.

[zachakagoat]

The weather getting nice is making it hard as hell to get any REAL work done...I should be working on some reports but can't keep out of the garage now that it isn't 130 in the garage.

Finally got my tie rod changed, some oil leaks fixed, and just about ready to drop it back on the ground.

 

[V8Killer25]

[XiKeiyaZI]
