wow, that sucks. Bad luck man. Takes less than 30min to get the head off, that's the good news.

 

hell yea man. i was ****** upset and hurt the whole way to the shop and even at the shop. i got vids of the cars on my facebook, just gotta figure out how to get them on here. i wish it took me a half a hour to get my head off. i gotta get that damn turbo manifold off which is a bitch and a half for me and i figure since i will have the head off ill get it ported and polished lol. only gonna run me $150

 

well my wife said i can get a cobalt ss/tc so if i can sell my turbo kit for maybe 1500 or so maybe 1700 i will have almost $10,000 maybe more if i wait til i get back from my deployment to add maybe another couple thousand on top of it and take a loan out for 3k seein as im finding the ss/tc for 15k

id just have to sell my LS. im thinkin about seein if anyone would be interested in the motor and ill just put a stock one back in

 

if u need a cometic head gasket i have one ill sell you.

 

woord? how much? im like 99.9% positive ill need one. that saves me like almost 3 weeks of waitin

 

you don't want a cometic.

 

Mines still holding up fine ralli..I never even retightend my head studs either.

 

wats wrong with cometic?

 

ya my cometic has held up fine on 25 psi. im also interested on why u say not to use one? i know that u know ur ****

 

well i might say **** the cobalt and get a srt4. ive found a lot for under 8k and the wife gave me the go ahead to get on using the taxes for one as long as when i reenlist she gets a new suv lol. soooo looks like ima be gettin my 4 door turbo car like ive been wanting

 

well ralli looks like i get to join your club of busted sleeves lol and i also fucked up the piston lol. im pullin the engine, puttin it back to stock and gettin somethin else...if anyone is interested in a turbo kit full of other goodies let me know

 

heres the damage..sorry about it bein so big

 

sucks man sorry to see that....if u get an srt they are fun cars for sure my best friend has one

 

yea, they are fun lol

 

Damn! Sorry man

 

its cool. i think im gonna fix her better then last time

 

that blows man.

 

so am i in the club??? lol

the sleeve is actually cracked in 3 different places, that pic only shows two lol. i destroyed that **** haha

 

Yea, I'd say you are in the club. lol. Amazing that you were able to drive on it.

 

finally im apart of some club lol. i couldnt even drive it. well actually i did when it came off the tow truck. i drove it into my garage to park it and it wouldnt start after that lol. i took off my intake manifold and that bastard was like half full off coolant. i was like "this cant be good" lol

 

similar situation, I remember going, OH **** when I looked into my intake manifold.

 

I was there... Was it when you raced wallabe's STI that night?

 

i had coolant everywhere haha. intake manifold and flowin out of my downpipe when i disconnected it

 

yup, Didn't make any sense. I was only on 19degrees of timing. I had been beating on it all day racing troy in the black turbo MX3. I fully expected to beat wallabe, but the car just went BOOM!

 

that sucks dude.. did the head gasket go? i'm assuming it did then once it hit the sleeves it cracked them due to large temp difference
