And So It Begins...The Repairs
 

Well... she's down and out... i have 1,500 to work with... EVERYTHING is getting fixed...

start off... engine..

Headgaskets..

i was driving, yesdarday, With Ttop191..and the low coolant light came on..
after doing a redoculus Acell out of a stop light.. well. he got me some coolant.. and i filled it to the neck of the surge tank (the surge tank was also all black, it's brand new) and all that come out was a flurry of bubbles.. uh oh...

got it home... got progressively worse, and i checked everything...

all points to a front head being blown on cyl's one and two...(reason for P0202 for ages....) so.... pics for your enjoyment...

:haha: NOM :popcorn: NOM :haha:

Well have fun drink some beer's and Pm me if you need help.......

Oh good luck..

oh, haha....i've done countless HG's.... it's like butter for me.... one Q already.... WTF is that big silver ring in the HG kit for?

How long were you driving on that old blown gasket?

mmmmmmm, maybe three months with a VERY VERY VERY slight leak (i used to have to top off the coolant, maybe every month....,and this past week it became hard to start.. i knew it was gone and kept checking different things like the oil, and coolant, so not long..and the last day was the day it officially blew... so i limped it home (not very bad, still no smoke/overheating) and parked it and tore it apart

Sounds like you've had some bad luck with the car lately, last thing I'd want you to have is bad bearings later on.

well at lease he is fixing it not junking it. were are you going to fix the car.

From what i saw in your pics it looks like the ring spacer for the headgasket, what did the parts list on the box say?

i bet its for the exhaust flange near the stat housing...

I hope you dont intend on installing those SHIT LIMG's into that motor!

Thats almost a damned crime!

get it right this time
lol

I hope he does get it right this time. But this is just temporary because I am going to help him build the engine in the spring and summer. nate did u get the MLS gaskets.

For that he would be better off finding another engine to use.

So hes got a back up plan.

not on my car......lol

I knew that you would just fix the car not junk it.

Pics Lol

OMG wow have not seen anything that bad before. how is the engine looking now have you gotten the new gaskets put in yet. aren't you going to put new ones in when u build.

i could have swore i saw that same picture in another thread nate had...

hmm...
