Buy a permatorque and be done with it. You've spent so much on everything else, AN radiator hoses, baller top mount, 42 sized turbo, etc. Just spend that little extra bit on a permatorque and know its going to last.

Pushing coolant is not fun, as most of us know. Do it once, do it right.

This guy reused his headgasket, I dont see what the problem is...

**mlomker** · 04-28-2010

Maybe he's only baller on stuff that people can see? Who buys designer underwear, anyway?

Jeez, give the guy a break. I would've used a headgasket I had sitting around too, why spend the money if you don't have to. He didn't reuse a gasket, he used a new one, that just so happened to fail due to other circumstances. OH WELL!! Ya live and ya learn, and now swifty knows. Don't see the point in cluttering up a project thread with pointless nagging, when I'm pretty sure swifty knows perfectly well that he messed up. The more important thing is, that hes gonna fix it, and fix it right this time (don't make me eat my own words swifty lol). Get yourself a permatorque, pull the head off (which I'm guessing doesn't take forever, seeing as you have done it more than a couple times), slap that bish back together, and enjoy it!

Lol 123!

Mowed the lawn, weedwacked, and etc. Then, pulled the engine apart, tore out the old POS cometic, hung it on the wall, and cleaned both block and head really well. While I was in there, I got some brake cleaner on a rag, and wiped down teh pistons really well, and got rid of all the carbon buildup that was there from before. Got a felpro permatorque, NO COPPER SPRAY, slapped it on there, and on went the head, along with misc etc. Also got the lower ic pipe to sit a bit better, and the comp cover a bit more rotated away from my radiator, so now I feel a bit better. Car is now done, and will fire up tomorrow morning (don't wanna piss the neighbors off right now). Torn, fixed, all in a day. Easy enough of a problem to fix

Pulling the head becomes pretty easy after a few times. I can do mine blindfolded by now, haha. Hopefully I never have to see it again though, haha. O-rings for winning.

This made me LOL.

Good job swifty, hopefully it holds.

123 ftw!!

Swifty1638 · 04-29-2010

123, I wasn't the one who even cared or started a build thread. Our trusty, fearless leader, flips McGee decided to start this for me. And, being the cool person I am, others like to hate. So, hence the bashing, and pages of useless material.
