While leaving cars & coffee I heard a little back fire and a valve train noise on the driver side. Towed home and searched the cyber web and I determined that I experienced a dropped valve seat. I'll drop the engine tomorrow and pull both heads because I used a not so hot engine guy last time. I need to search out a good heads to purchase. I don't want to repeat the same mistake. Please feel free to make fun of me or suggest a good source for new heads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) We have a type-4 guy in Ohio (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) last guy I would have trusted with this died a while ago. Link to the 2.0L heads Len at LN would be the guy I would send them to. That is if you want to keep it a type-4, you do have options if you want to explore (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |
