also dont forget to buy new head bolts sicne you cant retorque them. but why you buying new lash adjusters ours are still good with stage 2 cams

 

we will see, money is tight and i plan on building a full engine to swap at a later date...im prob just going to get it running again and then upgrade a new head later

lash adjusters?

 

u said the roller rocker thingys

 

yes i did lol, im not sure what exactly needs to be replaced at this point till we get it all disasembled and inspected

 

im gonna say just prolly a valve or 2 lol springs are prolly still good... i know now that im gonna fully disassemble and not try to short it

 

oh ya lol
ill replace the valves with stock for now (untill i do a full build later anyway)

just called a local machine shop that specializes in head work and they said that to remill the head for reinstalation is only 45$ and then 10$ to pressure wash the hole thing clean again...they also said that if i wanted to shave a lil off (to raise compression a bit ) that its no extra cost
i know somone on here has done this...anyone know what the same limits are for shaving the head??? .005?? i think is what someone did.
and since im replacing the head gasket anywhos....im goign to go with the thinner one....figure why not get some free ponies from increas c/r while im at it

(i do wan to be safe while doing it though...so any input is MORE then welcome!)

 

i was told that with .40 headgasket i could go 10 thousandths off??? but with our cams whats our piston to valve clearance be

 

i dont know, what is it stock??

 

i dont know id like to find out as well

 

Ummm, like I said dude I've got some free valves if you need them....?

Just trying to help out, what all are you upgrading/replacing? Do you know which valves are bent?

 

lol, i was talking about other parts, and ive got a local buddy thats got some spares thank you SOOOO much though!!!!!!
all i need to buy at this point is the bolts to replace the ones on holding on the head.
he has a full spare 2.2 that we can take parts from and a brand new head gasket....a local shop is going to shave the head for me and we are going to reassemble after that
talked with vince and he said ill be fine with the higher compression without tuning till him and i can meet..ill be taking it easy at first to make sure all is good, then when we tune ill go ***** out on the dyno then on the strip


(this is all as long as nothing on the bottom end of the engine is fucked)

 

current plans are to shave .020 off, if its too much we have a spare head to use, but from my research that *should* be safe, if it all works out then we will be reassembling starting a week from monday (will be out of town for a few days) and then HOPEFULLY she will live again..if not im seriously going to cry this time
and then bite the bullet and take it to a shop....
but with the engine torn down like this we should be able to make a decent assesment of what is going on.

with increased compression, i fully expect to see 180s to the wheels if not a bit more

let me know if you have any thoughts

 

sooooo....8 bent exhaust valves is the prognosis...pics will be up as soon as i can upload them

 

Hey dude, I have stock GM head bolts sitting in my garage im never going to use. Would you like them? I know I paid like $70 something for them a couple years ago but I'd give them to ya dirt cheap. I also have a stock head gasket if you need a spare.

 

lol, ill see if i can cancel my order with ced...as it is on back order and they havent processed, but i would LOVE a set of head bolts!! and do you have all 14 of them?? the e socket star ones and the 10 inner?


ya...all the exhaust valves are bent...
cyl looks ok, you can see where it impacted but because it was only as fast as the starter was turning it its ok...
and some more pics..




and this is where i get to work on the car lol

 

please tell me you're taking that front cover off when the head goes on and when you set the timing. I see the red bungee there.....

 

oh hell ya haha, thats just to hold the chain in place for now lolololol
cause i am NOT having this problem again

 

well that's good to hear! lol Good luck on the reassembly now

 

THANKS!!! thats one thing i cant have too much of

 

good luck!!!!!!!!no more bending exhaust valves

 

no..no more
i will be keeping mine as display in my living room

 

any results yet? #'s?

 

see pics above lol

 

U fixd it no?

 

not yet lol, just pulled the head today and work the rest of the week. im going to have a buddy come over with the special spring tool to pull the head apart this week then take it to have it shaved and reassemble next weekend....
then hopfully we should be in business
