    Default HEAD work PICS ! B18C5 heAD

    well the bad news was that i blew the shit outta a head gasket bout a week and a half ago. well we pulled the head the 2 and 3 cylinders was fukin full off water lol so things seem to be lookin far far worse then i expected. so i me and my friend zach (slowesthatch ) went up to his work (machine shop) and checked everything out. first we pressure tested it to make sure that there were no cracks anywhere. no craqs. then we went and set the head on a the table and basically checked to see if there was any warpage of the head. bad news fraid lol. it slightly warped the bottom of the head just enough to let coolant through. but long story short it was caused by two things no temp guage, and a bad rad cap. so we resurfaced it 3 times equals bout .06 off the head. which wasnt much but it raised the compression (along with a thinner stock head gasket , previous owner had a thick ass cometic (stock .026 - cometic .04))

    and he had some fun with the head while we were there ..... check it out
