yeah brian seems like a cool guy, we talked about my supra and his 2j build for a while. ill definitely be going back there if i ever need anything else done.
so i ended up going to m&b cylinderheads. i dropped the head off on thursday afternoon and it was done friday. brian is a real nice guy and it seems like they did a great job on the resurface. thanks for the help guys.
Im new to the portland area and am looking for a good machine shop to get my head resurfaced. just wondering where everyone around the portland area takes their 7m to get machine work?
the oil in the dip stick was clean and their was no build up under the oil cap. although i only ran the car for a min so i dont know if i would have seen milky oil or not.
yeah i did get the head resurfaced and i cleaned up the block with a razor blade and 400 grit sandpaper, i checked the surface and it was within spec.
ok ill loop the coolant lines tomorrow morning and see if it still does it.
so i just fixed a bhg with a cometic mhg and arp bolts. i put everything back together then started it up and it seemed to be running fine. but after a few seconds a lot of smoke starts coming out of the exhaust and then a oil/water mixture started pouring out the exhaust:aigo: im thinking my...
well all my cylinders were in the 150-155 range.
i already pulled the turbo out and it looked good their was very little shaft play and everything, so i dont think its the turbo. im hoping its just a bhg and nothing more serious.
dont worry i haven't driven it since i first thought it might have a bhg.
i would have known for sure today but 3 of the head bolts striped out on me so know i need to figure out how to get those loose.
ok i dont have a leak down tester/block tester, but i did check the o2 sensor and it was all white and when i pulled the spark plugs #1 and #2 were covered in oil. these are usually signs of a blown headgasket right?
im not really sure what kind of headgasket it has right now but its probably...
ok i searched but couldn't find any thing that helped me. so my car is getting really hot, theirs coolent under the oil cap, i drained the oil and it was milky. i did a compression test and all the cylinders checked out ok. is it a blown headgasket or something else?
some people are still meeting on saturday nights but i havent gone out to it for a long time. i think i still have your number, so yeah i might give you a call if i cant figure it out.
you should keep the charcoal canister. its part of the EVAP system that routes evaporated fuel from the fuel tank into the intake manifold for combustion.
