Nothing to see here, move along

 

4 and a half years later or something I took the head off my built motor. (30psi spikes, learning to t00n, 380whp on 92 pump gas, ran out of oil, etc)

Expected the worst, pleasantly surprised.

Pistons look fine. This is probably the worst bearing.

Talked to a machine shop, hopefully dropping it off this week for a refresh.

 

Good gravy, an ACTUAL update?

 

Those are some serious carquest deposits on 3.

I probably missed the answer 127 pages ago, but what is the fitting on the oil tee? looks like it is a pneumatic line quick release. Was there an external OP gauge on there before you yanked it out?

 

It's a Saturn temp sensor, gm curve, 1/8 npt

 

Well, that makes sense. Thanks!,

 

They are super cheap, but the connectors kinda suck. I like them though.

 

Did a quick google. Seems like they are like 25 bucks which is dealz compared to a similar honeywell. metripack 150 3 pin? I went bosch combo for my oil pressure and temp but I do need to grab something for coolant pressure.

 

It's temp only, and a weird connector. I snagged a bunch at the junkyard

 

Temp sensor. Like you typed. Clearly, I cannot read today.

 

I think i might have had some valve stem seal leakage



Valves were looser than a hot dog down a hallway. Gonna throw some new guides in.

I also forgot how much **** they crammed into these heads. But it's all stripped now.

 

pictures aren't working for me, but i see you have already earned a so someone must be able to see them

 

Yarp, working for me. Just mt.net things I guess. So happy the engine is getting worked on again

 

They worked for me earlier today, but now they don't work.

Yeah, not working for me but I've already seen them 😛

How bad were the guides and what's the history on the head?

 

Living up to the thread title once again by the sound of it. Pics still broke for me too.

 

Head history is unknown. Don't even remember where it came from.

 

Just dig through the 11000 posts, it's probably in there somewhere

 

 

wonder if I'll remember how this all goes back together in another 5 years.
