They were meant to instal a new msl metal gasket and put the cams and rocker stoppers into this engine which was a rebuilt engine.Anyway we don't know where sh*t went south but trying to figure it out and the shop is denying any responsibility so we are stuck and just gotta do it.AnywhooooooFound an engine with a spun bearing for $150 and have another head that is fine just a few pits and stuff.So out of another engine and another head and the head on it we can hopefully make something work.So today in a couple spare hours I started taking the head offSo I'm at the point of everything is disconnected and taken apart it's time to do the lifting of the head.But lil hudo was requiring my assistance at that point lol so I had to leave it be for today and will crack it off soon and see what the go is Also while she's out of action gonna take a few bits to powder coat and tidy the engine bay up and give her a good clean up Edited 04/11/13 08:28 AM by Princess Fluffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long story short the shop who did the work didn't do the right thing and now were stuck fixing it So here are some happy snaps The gasket also failedSo apparently this is the hardest job u can do on an sr so a least I will know the engine back to front now lolLaid all spares and bits outAlso picked up a second hand motor to use as a spare Then for around to some fun stuff... Painting some bits to go on the car...I have three sponsors stickers being made ATM to match my colour scheme so the car will look pretty good I hope This is the final colour. The wheels will look the same in the morning when completely dry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
