bump for a local

JEEPERS, good times!

if i would have dont a cold compression test it would have definately told me which cylinder had the crack, but then at that point i wouldn't have known if it was a head gasket, or head problem you never know till you take it apart.

Just based on my experience, the headgasket was perfectly fine, so it wouldn't help to change it.

I would never want to have to pay for this job myself! I am doing it myself as well, almost done actually, just going to finish it up on friday night. parts and labour alone cost around 800.00 so far, just to get a used head, have it surfaced, pressure tested, lap the valves, do a valve grind...

It is cracked right between the intake and exhuast valves there, hard to see in the pic but dead obvious when looking with the eyes. The vehicle is in mint shape for 320k kms. And this is after hot tank. so it looks minty. minus the crack

i'd like to know which head it is that cracked on the others? maybe its a certain casting number that has issues?! maybe??? here are pictures of mine, and the cracks, notice the number 7 inside the head, my other head that i got has a 12, and the one i replaced the 7 with is an 11...

there have to be more of you out there!

:dammit: I just want to get a thread going that is in regards to cracked heads. Basic info will be like this: just copy and paste the template below Year:________ Model:________ Milage/KMs(specify):____________ Driver Side/ Passenger side (specify):_______________ Which Cyl:_______________...

HAHAHA AT ALL THE COMMENTS i simply gave you guys a bit of a reference point to go on when looking for a paint job. aka make sure ALL mouldings, windows, handles, everything is removed and painted seperate, get new cliips, new gaskets for the moulding etc....... as for me and my paint job...

What intercooler on your turbo setup?? or is there not one?? That would be pretty good air temps without one i must say,

since mine started i get p0300, and i have changed my plug wires, and also cleaned my maf, no improvement, but i had to add 4l of coolant the other day, wether it be a air lock, or a head gasket, i'll have to check! recently did timing belt so could be air lock.

very true! all i want is that 11.5 afr, because my engine is far from brand new at 318000 kms. haha do you remember where you got the oil restrictor for off the block? want to make this a one weekend type project so i'm looking to get everything in order first!

i'm still looking for a replacement steering wheel if anyone knows of anywhere i can get one please let me know! leather, black or tan would be great!

i'll be doing something similary very soon, except i'll be using a urd 7th injector controller, and a custom 7th injector setup.
