Still down... drivable, but it misses when the plug gets pushed up. I haven't called the shop yet (and they apparently don't answer emails, even though they have one listed)
Another financial snag (well, two in one) has gotten me by the short and curlies, so I'm holding off until I know I can do it right! I may have to put the new head on... which will be a MAJOR project (the trans has to come off so I can mark or replace the flywheel... since I have no timing marks on it! I don't want to swap the head and expect it to be perfect)
hey deev anything new done. i heard you bought that h22 head. are you going to port and polish it? regrind the cams? 3 angle valve job? thats what i would do.
miss my turbo cb7
moved onto volvos. dont know how that happened, just did
The post above yours was made 2 hours prior... That's the current status of my car.
I have the new head, but I can't afford to do anything to it just yet. If the old head can't be repaired without removing it, I'm going to put the new one on (read above for my gripes about that). If it CAN be repaired on the block, I'll save to build the new head... and yes, I plan on doing it all Might send it off to ESP to have them work on it, as their prices seem reasonable, and they're an authorized seller here on the site (gotta take care of the people that take care of us!)

doubt it you get the thread fixed. cus of the round tube inside the cylinder head that bothers the thread tool to get down there. it isnt really hard taking off the cylinder head.

Supposedly there's a shop that can replace the threads with a Time-Sert insert. I've read about it being done with the head on, and the Time-Sert website even shows how to do it... It just depends on 1.) If the shop will do it, and 2.) How much they'll charge. If it's cheaper to put the head on, I'll do that.
And with my car, it will be a pain in the ass to do the head... mainly because I pretty much have to redo the clutch at the same time! Also, water pump, timing belt, probably replace any seals I can get to... If I'm going to do so much work, I'm going to get everything done in that area that I can!

Apply directly to the forehead?
