Back to square one AGAIN:








Thankfully the cylinder walls look good, the pistons had ZERO signs of detonation and the last datalog i had show 0.02 knock at the most and it was so few times even in full boost. I pulled the cam straps and found very miniscule amounts of copper in a few of them. Super light scoring so thats not an issue really. It can be micropolished out thankfully. The valve seals im sure arent in the best of shape so the whole head is going to get rebuilt.

I need to pull the bottom end out, take it apart and see what exactly is shot. Hopefully the rods are good and so are the pistons. If I can get away with only replacing the crankshaft and the bearings then Ill be ok. It all remains to be seen.Im bummed out but i know this crap needs to be put back together and I just want to get it done and move on.

 

Good news so far, Best of luck dude

 

well at least the whole thing isn't FUBAR'd. good luck dude, don't give up. I know you feel like **** and want to (cause I did too when my **** blew) just get rid of it, but it will all be worth it when its up and running solid again.

 

I wish I had to the cash to get some supertech valve springs, my 750 injectors, performer x mani...**** it sucks being poor now

 

You going to do any porting while the head is apart?

 

I really admire your perseverance..

 

No. No one local to do it.

I have no choice

 

You could always send it to me but it might take a week turnaround for everything though

 

PMd

 

So what's the diagnose?

Is this thread a joke for noobs?

 

This blows man. I feel like we're living in a similar hell. I'm so sick of pulling and rebuilding my engine(s). I just want to drive my ******* car.
