I wanna sell my PSP, well, I dont want to, need to. Where can I post this bad boy up for sale, its got alot of goodies that are worth a damn.

Ok lets say I do this: Continue to dismantal my head, take off all the valves and parts. Bag the valves, springs, ect and wait. Go buy hoist, get the rest of the block out (can I without the head on?) dismantal the entire block, bring the crank, pistons, and new bearings I buy to the shop...

This is hard right now, but I believe if Ive come this far, I can do it. I have NEVER given up on anything I take on. Computers, cars, life, I always get stressed, even blow a gasket of my own sometimes, but I recouperate, and do it again. This car is gonna take me a few weeks more to fix, but I...

got it bc I was on a budget and a friend helped me out. I will get this done, without spending an arm and a leg. I already found all the bearing replacements, gonna have the head fixed up nice, and a new HG that was free. This should be not SO painful.

If it is THAT bad, can I tell as soon as I pull it over, and see the crank? Or do I gotta do what I did with my head, ALL comes off before I see everything or nothing is wrong? $350 to have it magnafluxed will dent me and make this take even longer. The friend I bought this car from still has...

*sigh* Im fucked arnt I, I really dont make enough money to even SAVE for this kinda work. It HAS to be done myself, with as little as possible. Why isnt that possible?

Cracks in the block? It ran 3 mins with a small knocking, ticking sound. If its just a loose bearing how bad could it have been? The pistons lift up and down in unison, the only difference right now is that 3 sits a hair longer before moving after 4, and on the way up, clinks a little bit. Ive...

Car ran 3 mins total at LOW speeds after knock began, after than, shut down, never again to be run. Been 3 weeks. I found bearings for $50 for the set (Clevites) but what are the main bearings? NVM, ok, Main Bearings, Rod Bearings and thrust washers = $78 before shipping. So far, so good. This...

Im doing it myself, Ill buy the parts, and do this myself. The damage shouldn't be extreme, motor was cut off 3 mins after the knock began, not turned on since. Im not looking to upgrade anything, Ive got a GTE Im building up for about 6 months from now. But this IS my DD, so I need to fast...

Really? Ill take a vid and show you what I mean later, I mean it just explains it, all of it. I know I know, but lets say its a rod knock and its a bearing I gotta replace, total how much should this cost for a DIYer

Heads getting an acid bath, machining, and maybe new valve train. Found out bearings are like $50 for a set, need anything else? Im buying a mount and hoist soon and Im pulling this bitch out, chaning the bearings, oil pump and other shit that needs it. 2 months MAXIMUM time to do this, I need a...

Lets say I have a hoist and stand, and I believe all the tools I need, how much is it to repair rod knock?

IT is rod knock... I turned the crank back and forth and when I raised the 3 and 4 pistons, I heard *clink*...lower, nothing... raise *clink* Its a fucking rod bearing isnt it? I swear, I dont have money for this, how much are bearings and how hard are they to replace when the engine is out of...

No its 5 speed. The oil in the #6 cylinder on the last pic? just stuff that leaked when I pulled the head. I already started pulling the valves, exhaust side is already out, next is intake, then off to a machine shop. I just was wondering, Brn2DRV or whatever his sn is sent me a vid of his...

I dont want it in there, its just in the way with this whole head job, seriously sucks, I just wanna toss it.

I just meant some type of plate to block it, dont you have to plug the side on the head as well? or just the manifold side of it?

Like getting parts from somewhere and ghetto rigging some sorta block off plates for my EGR. My heads off and I really dont wanna hassle putting it back on, and dont wanna spend $35 on 2 little pieces of metal.

OK I finally got my head off, in hopes that the ticking noise was a stuck valve. None of the valves LOOK stuck open but maybe they are stuck closed, I cant tell!? Anyways, Anyone wanna help? Heres some pictures to assist: Cylinders 1 - 6 in order: Rest of the block from...

Holy shit... it is 4.30, that actually explains alot. Im used to domestics b4 this car, they are all high ass shit that doesnt pull at all, my firebird was 3.23 and NOT LSD (it was BS) and my old mustang, dont get me started....

Im rebuilding whatever the hell is wrong with my head (something with ticking, Ill prolly post the whole story sometime) ANyways, Ive been in desperate need of parts and such, and I lucked out when a member from another place, said he was on his way down to H-Town for his bros wedding...
