My tired 1.8L needs some work.
Car sat for 15 years,there is oil leaking out of every where. Got to start somewhere Soooooooooooooo. Should I order new AMC heads cost about $900:00 dollars. OR Should I pull my 100,000 mile heads and get them rebuilt. Looking to save time as well as hassles of dealing with old rusted parts. I have been working really hard on fixing the car. But I have found as soon as you pull something apart,it leads to a never ending trail of more things that should be fixed as well. I dont want to rebuild for 2 years,so thats what I am looking at. Appreciate your advice and suggestions. Thanks. |

I sent an email to HAM yesterday to inquire about getting a set of 2.0L heads done. They indicate on the web site that they want pix of the heads before you send them so they can determine if they are rebuildable. Have not heard back yet where to send the photos or what the price range is. Really needing a set since I blew out a capped air injector port on my '76. Seems to have stripped off the threads, the tube just drops back in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)
Several locals have confirmed that their work is fantastic. Dan |
