motor had a head gasket leak in the front and i got tired of worrying about it so i decided to fix it and get a few things for it myself

head off

i got ahead of myself and ripped it apart before i had everthing i was looking for so it sat head removed for a month. took the head to a machine shop got it skimmed to make sure it was straight hot tanked and had to get the thermostat sensor drilled out cause i snapped it and it got stuck paid 125 got a 3 point brace for free also have a mugen shift knob and bride shift boot somewhere

bought a z6 intake $30, a6 cam $20, brand new onsoku power cam gear $20,head gasket+bunch of other gaskets and headbolts $70

put it all together took me a few hours be i did it myself with minimal tools

all together

fired right up! drives great feels better with no oil on the plugs pulls better only problem i have is a retarted idle sometimes its to low sometimes to high others its perfect its not a pulse sometimes it will be fine and drop or raise but most of the time it changes between lights

pics!

the d15b7 started smoking pretty badly so i decided to try and swap it out. Took my chances on craigslist and got a d16z6 for 250. Motor and car sat for awhile while i got things together.

finally felt like it was time and went to work with my inlaw and pops first we cleaned the motor off

Image

dad in red bro inlaw in blue checking things out,out with the old
Image

in with the new

Image

new clutch,new oil pan gasket, new rear main seal everything went smoothly got it in wired it up new fuilds turned on first crank then....miss fires!! no compression in cylinder #3 got fed up with it and left it there for months lol

After watching the fast and furious movies Saturday RIP Paul Walker i decided to try and get this thing running. Sunday went over and pulled the head

What did i find?! :x :x :x

Image
valves are toast! melted and broken hard to see cause i was removing it but the pieces were stuck on top of the piston they seemed more like carbon deposits i poked it and it just flaked off

Image

Im SUPER fed up with this thing have no money gotta pay off the ring and i cant keep it on the road. i have new valve seals and valves and need to get the head tested and the new stuff put in.. :cry:

Edit: o yeah and the b7 just needed new valve seals and it would have been fine 317k and just needed seals these single slammers are tough!
