[Powers]

well i gotta put the new motor its a stock 4g63t goin in so no mods yet just tryin to get it running i got some parts i need to get first like CV shaft, head and valve cover gasket and a turbo back exhaust is my main parts list right now

[Powers]

there are some pictures of the day i picked it up. the drive sucked but it will be worth it when i get to drive it in a couple of weeks

[Ihearrtdsm]

ebay has good exhaust for cheap about $180 shipped, I have one on mine and love it!

[Powers]

are the eclipse turbo backs the same as talon's?

[twack]

yup, glad you found your way over here

[Powers]

thanks alot its a lot more active over here lol

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Wow, looks like you have alot of work ahead of you. Good luck!

[Powers]

got the flywheel resurfaced and the clutch ordered so now i just need a new cv boot and i can start the install

[Powers]

so one of my motors supposedly has bent valves but when i opened the valve cover one of the rocker arms? was just laying there disconnected so could that cause the effects of a bent valve?

[blackrosenova400]

It could be bent, if its bent and the spring isnt allowed to close the valve all the way, the rocker could fall right out like you see there.

Welcome. You get a deal on that car? I would bring it to a shop to get checked over. I wouldn't want to throw a head on to find out that the valves are smashed.

[john]

BTW, nice tight jeans and sexy shoes

[Constant_Project21]

I had a head with bent valves, knocked three of my rockers off. Def a strong possibility that there's a bent valve. Welcome to the site btw.

[Powers]

ok so i got a donor 7 bolt motor with good valves and pistons and everything but a busted exhaust manifold could i swap the vavles so make one good motor?

[Powers]

oh and i picked the shell and 2 motors up for 700 bucks so not horrible it just needs some tlc lol and money and oh the tight jeans and shoes are actually my friend who helped me get the motor lol we call him poser lol

[123abc]

I wouldn't mess with a 7 bolt. Get a 6 bolt bottom end with a 2g 7 bolt top end on it and drive.


Welcome to the site btw!

[Powers]

well i pulled the head off the 6 bolt and found out all the exhaust valves are shot and that the piston made contact with the head
