Re: My Winter Upgrades

It was rebuilt using the stuff from the old head, like the Crower Springs/retainers, and new stem seals. The old head was stock valves, never had upgraded valves in the car. 4 of my valves from the old head were destroyed. So they just used the same valves when they redid this head. I figured they would have at least cleaned them a bit, but they didn't. I regret it now, hindsight is a bitch like that. I figured some E85 would help clean the crap outta them. I just called Dodge in Blaine, and they have some MCCC so I'll pick up a bottle of that, and suck it in through the PCV after work, and hope that it can clean those things up. I guess I don't really have a way to tell if they really do get cleaned or not.

But really at this point, what I really want to know if it is rod related or not. Because if that's the case, I need to start figuring out what to do ASAP as spring is damn near here.
