Theres other stuff but i’ve lost track of a lot not working on it in a few months. To much time in between sadly =/
The 2.5 head has hemispherical chambers. If I wanted to put a 2.5L head on my car I would have to swap out my crank, Pistons and rods or loose compression. This wouldn’t be so bad if I was going to put a turbo on in a reasonable period of time but thats not the plan.
So the head I supplied to the machine shop back in September? still hasn’t been disassembled yet. Apprently is warped and he cant get the rocker shafts out. I am taking apart the head that was in the car and has the bent valves to see if I can replace the valve guides myself and supply the head to the machine shop to speed things up.
Rocker shafts are out. Just need to get a hold of a valve spring compressor or find an alternative method of compressing the springs to remove the caps.
I can get heads at a local junkyard for 25 dollars. I’m going to need a spare block but that wont be until next winter. I don’t have a job rite now so the beamer is pretty much dead in the water.
