its a good thing i didnt use vinegar to flush my radiator .whatva stinky mess that would have been !

I did use voice activated text every time I start to type I doze off it gets a little frustrating.as far as the oil leak goes it dumps oil heading out to check the half moon thing had a friend help me out yesterday and maybe he didn't notice

Got some very frustrating news for you guys .i started it up and .it turned over didnt sound too bad .except for a slight timing issue . then it started leaking oil pretty bad from the no 1 spark plug area of the head gasket..(I had a friend start it and personally seen it squirt with every rev ) bu...

Yeah I just drilled em with a brand new drill bit . but here is my current status: got the head back on by myself and I don't need to tell you that damn bypass tube and that exhaust pipe head did not do me any favors .drained the oil after. Using about a quart to flush crap down Got it on TDC .gappi...

==) missed the damned delivery guy by minutes so today is the day .I used the extra time to clean all the gummy crapin the exhaust ports and all the carbonin the combustion chamber..cleaned up my cam bearings and reinstalled with some grease that spins nice even after the torque.intake mani bolted t...

Good God let my work be good ...I need all the luck I can get did I mention im doing this under an oak tree in my friends front yard ?I was just supposed to be visiting for a day .

Thursday is looking like the day for my exhaust valves.the guides and intake valves come tomorrow. On a side note I will say this the place where I got my rebuilf engine from didnt do a very good job in the giving a crap department .I decided to take this extra time and utilize the gaskets in my kit...

since its gonna be two days (update 3-4 days ) before I get my valves I figure ill just clean everytbing up and assemble what I can with the seals and gaskets that came in the kit anybody know the tourqe specs on the cam shaft sprocket nut (update found out the torque . also found out it would have ...

thanks a ton .I got it all tore down .waiting on parts from rock auto .couldnt find em anywhere else .be here the 24th hopefully .it seems easy enough I've done pretty much every thing from figuring out gear ratios in the rear differential so I could match a trans axle , to replaceing the wood druff...

Ok took a gamble and struck malfunction gold .got the head off and i seriously think whoever put the head on before used either elmers glue for a head gasket or no gasket at all .see the pictures .also I looked at the valves and sure enough the no 3 cylinder exhaust valve was chipped. See the pictur...

This is my first head gasket .im excited and a little nervous I've done pretty much everything else to this high maintenance homewrecker.i only have one shot at this any other tips aside from petros excellent guide would be appreciated I have been this cars slave for almost ten years now .crazy .

Would a stuck valve and a leaky coolant bypass tube o ring cause the same symptoms .and whats a easy way without a compression gauge to diagnose this or does the head need to come off no matter what?
