Re: Goodhart's budget beater 1g

Well, I brought the head in yesterday and here is what I found out: The head is warped all the way through, it will need to sit in the oven to pull it straight again. He also showed me where someone had done a partial valve job (only 2 of them) where the seats were cut, new valves were put in and then the butts were ground all uneven to make them work.

Basically, someone did some shitty work to this head and it will be more cost efficient to just get a new core rather than try to fix all the fuckups in this one.

So the plan is to find another 2g head, re-do the oil port mod, and egr plug, and drop it off.
