rockauto - 4x fuel injector o-rings and stuff - $15

many thanx.

the one thing that i dont get is, is the kit you bought that detects combustion gases. why did it not change color?

im looking forward to seeing the head gasket pics. and how bad it really was.

bordin34

That I do not know. Hopefully I remember to take pics. It will probably be around 10pm by the time I have the head off so I may forget.

princej

its too bad we are not closer as i would have loved to watch you do it, so i know how to do mine when the time comes.

I am currently in College Park, MD. Where are you. You should update the info in your profile.

princej

Im in Canada. way too far away.

Pictures. It was much easier than I thought. The hardest part has been scraping the old gasket off the cam tower. I removed the head with the manifolds attached.
Right now I have the head torqued to 15ft lb and will do the final two stages tomorrow.
The fire ring on the number four cylinder is split.

princej

wow, thats unbelievable, great job. it looks to be quite the split.

bordin34

I'll take a picture of the split in the fire ring today.

princej

I wish I could be there to see you put it back together.

Here is the picture of the fire ring and also where I think coolant was leaking in.
