Long story short, still great running motor, but getting white smoke blowing out sometimes at high speed over 3k rpm. Was advised most likely its a losse valve guide. Just noticed this since I've been driving to work on I-95 in northern Va. Must have happened sometime last year when I had a cheap throttle cable stick a few times. Anyway, not sure if I will do a complete rebuild or just repair heads? I have euro mahle P/C's brand new I've had for awhile and 40mm dells on hand, but not surehow far I want to go with it right now.
Who does head work and how much would it cost to have them done right. And is there other cost or parts that will need to be done? I will pull and replace myself. Wife said sell it so she could get her car in garage, I've already said NO! Thanks Chris |

Chris,
when i thought i was going to do mine, i did a lot of looking and put out a similar thread. HAM, INC - he (Len Hoffman) is in Athens, GA and does remanufacturing which is as he can explain better, different that rebuilt. but it will be better than new. When i do mine, i will send them to him to do it. he has developed a system and done much testing with Jake Raby . I believe Jake has him do all of his head stuff. you can find him here or club- he may post you or PM you directly. i will get you his number , i have it somewhere. Phil |
