So after some researching and help from members here i figured out what one issue with my engine is, the head gaskets. Theres like steam coming out the left side wen i warms up enough. i still need to find the water leak but finally the tear down begins...

The start...


"Intake chamber" out after about an hour of trying to disconnect lil ****.



Stupid ass EGR


Timing cover off


And i pulled the harness out just to remove some of the clutter


Updates tomorrow

 

nice progress. I hope you have everything marked off with tape and stuff so you dont lose track. good luck my friend!

 

yea. im taking it slow. im tagging and bagging every dam thing.

 

OK so finally yesterday the heads came off. Between my GF, her bro, and myself we finished. Took my GFs 250+lb brother to counter how hard i was tuggin at the Cam sprocket bolts.

Sprockets off



Cylinder bores are clean and smooth. I found where the head gaskets blew and it was the #5 & 6 cylinders (closest to firewall)

Il get pics later of the heads and block.

 

make sure u stuff ur holes ..sounds wrong but yeah...nice progress....good luck

 

Trust me i did. sh!t load of napkins a and a trash bag
lol

 

Btw, do you plan on mildly porting the heads or anything like that?

 

I had thought about it but i honestly have no idea how much i could do before it would affect it for SMOG.

Id love to try to do some work on this thing but i just need it as a daily for now. Im ansie to just get it all back together
