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.

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

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.

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

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

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