Well, I finally got off the couch this weekend and finished ripping the head off the car. The pictures speak for themselves.

Man, that doesn't look healthy at all, a lot of work ahead of you. Good luck!

if that isnt the truth......forget about the labor (which is why I am biting the bullet and doing the work) the damn cost of the parts is what hurts.

anybody have a clue as to how the metal from that piston ended up in all the cylinders? I am still trying to figure that out.

EvoRacer619 Apr 30, 2006 06:35 PM

its the valves they most likely craped out too

that's crazy
do you think your head lifted when you were boosting?

EvoRacer619 Apr 30, 2006 06:39 PM

doubt that..would need alot of boost and NOS lol to blow the head studs

well it cant spread from cylinder to cylinder..

didnt you take the head off ? how were the valves?

i read your other thread and compression seemed low in all the cylinders.. not just the cracked one

Goes through the intake manifold and distributes itself, commom.
