DanCamm Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Update: Didn't go to well. Got everything back together, and have a leak somewhere. Getting white smoke from the exhaust, so I'm not sure if one of the heads didnt seal properly or if one may be cracked. Honestly, I've given up for now. I bought another vehicle. Not sure if I'm gonna revisit this thing or if I'm just gonna send it down the road. Thanks for everyone's help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATHY90 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 (edited) That would be AFTER our incredibly valuable learning experience. And please, you forgot to mention we broke the cam AND the pulley. Give credit where credit is due, dammit! It's good to know that this could happen to any one...i made that mistake my self and i took me a month to find the parts with out spending some crazy coin... BTW are the piston flat? B/C mine have little dent that look like it could be from when the valves and pistons kissing?
