#22135, "valves are bent bad, need new head.. some tips"


          

so i got my leakdown test done and my valves are better bad.
so im going to be taking the head off.. instead of just fixing my valves ill just get a head with them intact

so if anyone has one for sale please hit me up asap so i can get this thing running again

its 3 bucks a day to leave it at the auto hobby shop.. ahah so much cash

they have all the tools i need and russel this guy that works there is cool as shit and will help me out.

any tips for taking the head off.

im guessing it would be kinda easy to just do my tbelt since ill have it all apart.. instead of putting the new head on and just having him do the tbelt

well this should be $$ grrrrr... i wish i knew if i was keeping the car or not, cuz id just rebuild the whole top end..

i might just keep it and do it.im not sure.. im really tired of the slowmattic though

I love dino and 2gnt. ####ers (my word) bliz stole it but i let him borrow it

dude get some stainless steel valves..it will cost like $250 for all 16 and then have a machine shop do a 3 or 5 angle valve job. As for takin the head off i wouldnt be to worried about anything its pretty easy. leave the intake manifold on and pull it out.



GS-N pssssst!

KEEP IT, do the top end rebuild and then turbo it. You can swap for a manual tranny later.

Yeah, the 5 speed swap isn't too bad. I did it, and I fell in love with my car again. We even have all of the wiring issues worked out, as far as the speedometer and the backup lights. It would be a fantastic time to swap.

Evan.. another thing that nonone has mentioned yet (supprisingly) is that if you bent your valves.. that means they wacked teh tops of the cylinders.. which means the cylinders are damaged (probably pretty bad) so if you are keeping the car.. ya might want to think about a full rebuild.. if not. well the problems probably won't show until after you sell it.. hehe.

hehe shhhh damnit jeremy dont say that haha jk

i dont others to know haha

well im not keeping it, i really dont want to.. it would cost to much money

i really want the GSX. a 97-99 GSX would suit me fine.. i think they are damn sexy in thier own right.. but i dont want to pay the pricetag.. so i might be stuck with the 95 GSX and later on swap the front bumpers atleast

i really want the X.. i just want to fix mine.
thanks john i went to dsmtrader and sent like 10 emails on various heads

im going to try and find that guy in my area with a full 420a for sale for 400 bucks by that and strip in and use his head

and sell the rest

I love dino and 2gnt. ####ers (my word) bliz stole it but i let him borrow it

Bro, why would you want to sell that car, turbo it! Like you told me before if you plan on running 12s or lower you will want an auto for daily driveing plus you will have to put up with all the ish with 4g63 thats just crazy. Keep your car and turbo it! You already put some cash into it selling it would be foolish, imo.
