Well heres my Aleros story. My bestfriends dad bought in new in 2001. He drove it till 2006 when his son started driving it, then in 2009 his younger son started driving it, then in 2012 my friend got and drove it till 2013 and it sat for 3 months till I bought it in January. I did basic maintenance and all was good. Till I started noticing my coolant disappearing. It overheated from no coolant one day and I decided to do head gasket and limg. Well since we had the heads in front of us we sent them to get magnafluxed, hot bathed along with valve covers and intake manifolds. and they had 12 cracks in them, so I got new heads through the machine shop. Right now its getting close to completion and I cant wait to see how much better she runs. Now some pics. Not in any order just some random ones of my parts and stuff.
3.5 TB i plan to put on soon
Early teardown progress. Intake runners were disgusting.
Sending them to the machine shop.
New heads. Almost no casting flaws and look really nice.
Painted LIM silver and it matches the heads really good.
Painted valve covers Mopar red.
How she sits right now. Looks really clean. Im gonna paint UIM red also.
