hahahha the engine im removing from the wagon is from Jess

 

Alrightttt parts ordered.
Ordered: head gaskets, cam seals, cam cover seals, Exhaust mani, Intake mani, UP, and DP gaskets.
Need to pickup: oil + filter and coolant
My timing belt and all that jazz is only like 10-11k miles on it. I'm going to chance em'.
I ordered fuel pump cover gasket, ICV gasket, and BOV gasket because I think all three of those were already leaking.
Tear-down date : TBD. Will update when all parts come in.

Shoots

 

Dont use the belt over again its not worth the risk!! there not that pricey also! also get new idler pulleys!! ask jess about that one! dave knows

 

bump. Changed out headgaskets. It runs (very roughly) and shoots out coolant. Engine is only compressing on 3 cylinders. It's toast. Look for my for sale ad in the near future.

 

^^^PM me your Parts List John

 

did you resurface the heads when you changed the headgaskets?

 

No, but I inspected them and cleaned everything super good. They appear to be fine other than some scoring on the cam bearings. It could be a crack in the block or something that doesn't appear unless under pressure. This car isn't worth it to me anymore. I need something that works ASAP. I haven't decided to part out everything or try and sell it broken 'as-is' to anyone that wants to try and fix it. What do you guys think it's worth? Like I said, it runs, but only with compression on 3 cylinders.

I have a EJ257 SB, td06 20g, FMIC, 750cc injectors, UTEC, sways/endlinks, strut bars, TXS wideband, Cobb DP, GTspec UEL headers, Helix 264 cams and valve springs, and so on and so on.

I want to just get rid of this car and move on to something else that I can depend on. What do you guys think the car is worth 'as-is'? What can I get by parting it out?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

John

 

nothing is gonna be dependable when you mod it as much as you have. suck it up and fix em.

 

Nahhh, I'm done with modding. Time to move on. I need something that works and now. I'll let someone else try and fix it. Could be as easy as resurfacing heads, I dunno.
