Motor Disassembly

[99SI]

no problem. If you need machine work, as in you ran the car hot and blew a head gasket and want it resurfaced to make sure it's not warped, that's not that expensive to have done. It's pretty straight forward machining, it's not like a hand ported head or anything, they just throw it on a machine and put in the parameters and skim a little off the top. That will give you a little boost in compression in itself which will give a little bit of a performance boost. Just talk to Mainstream and they'll take care of you and leave a little money in your pocket!

Ya it was fucked up when I bought it, leaking some oil. Undoubtedly the radiator wasn't working right and it fried the hg pretty good. Within 1 week the distributor cap and radiator had to be replaced. I have too much trust when it comes to what people say, so I had bad problems when I bought it.

the machine work is not too expensive. the expensive part is removing the motor and disassbling it. If the head gasket blew due to over heating its a good chance the block is out of tolerance also, meaning the block is likely to be warped.

its best to take it to shop or if you know how, check for straightness on the block and head.

Bee is right. You can do a headgasket, surafce, for well under $1000. I pmed him a quote. but it really depends on how bad it was overheated, if the block is warped, then there are NO gurantees, as the only way to fix it is pull the motor.

But you know for sure until its taken off.
