Doing the job is kinda fun.

The hard job is remembering where all the Bold's Go, and Try to Keep them Organize. Beside that its easy. It's like Big LEGO:


Here is some pictures.

Thanks for the reply guys, I don't lonely with this job. haha

I think this job will cost me about $200,

$65 4 Intake Valve
$50 Head Gasket
$25 Coolants
$0.0 Head Bolts, Going to Re-used its only 1 hear OLD from my last Head JOB. I KNOW i should only use it ones. BUT ****. that bolts is Expensive.. PLUS. i will ADD lots and LOTS of Lock-TIGHT
$30 Oil, with Filter.
Total: $170. Give or take a few dollars on random Crap

Knowing your car from INSIDE/OUT $$$$$ Priceless.

Lightbulb The No GOOD Valve Picture

Well. My Second Try on Cylinder Head work.

I replaced Head Gasket. you know that head gasket come's in 3 layers. Black/Silver/Black and its Tap into place!!!

Well, My compression was 240 PSI on all cylinder the last time i work on my cylinder head.

So what i did is. purchase new head gasket, Remove the Locks on the Gasket on both Old and New Head Gasket. Remove the old Middle Silver Layer Gasket from the old one and added another Silver layer to the new one just like this: Black/Silver/Silver/Black .. Spray Copper on all New Gasket and the cylinder blocks. and complete

Tighten the Head Bolts to 70 pound.

Now I'am ready to complete the job tomorrow 4/13/2012

I will post a video on the First Cylinder Job i have done, with the 240 PSI compression with a LOUD KNOCK sound. Vs this New Cylinder head job with an extra layer of head Gasket. I want to see the different.


Forgive my spelling and Grammars, I need to work on it
