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 |
