Hi everyone im looking for some feed back on these HLAs. Awhile back I had lots of help from the community & I am very greatful for that!!!!!!!
Recently I discovered not only was the timing belt was installed incorrectly due to oil sprock not properly set to phase by the last owner. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/tuning-engine-management/476366-horrible-last-timing-belt-job.html
And even now I still tend to find more surprises hidden in my DSM due to the last onwer -_-
Removing everything & properly storing them in a few ice cude trays I didnt notice the HLAs at this time.
Upon arrival dropping off Head, I learned that the HC is probably not the original. It was probably rebuilt of course thats a guess from the machine shop I toke my HC too. The HC has been deck before, and he showed me. The same machining marks on the head were on the block as well. I left the gasket on for surface protection with a graphite composite head gasket.
At this point im very cconcerned driving back home to see what else I find.
Pistons were great no impact from valves, as for the piston walls...lets just say the wifey would loved an iron cast mirror.
Assembling the head I saw the HLAs...correct me if im wrong but these look like 1g HLAs on a 2g 7bolt head
