ok, as you all know by now I have a burnt valve, and I think that's it.
however, I'm catching a lot of grief from people saying I should split the case, do everything!!! I understand that if I want this 1.7 to last another 100k miles I do need to do this... however, if I only need to fix what's wrong until next summer/spring... is it ok, to just do the top-end(rings/heads) now? I plan to completely rebuild next summer, or next winter(2004) at the latest, put 96mm pistons with a 71mm(or 78mm) crank, new cam...the works!!! at most I will put 1-3k miles on the engine between now and then. I hardly drive it in the winter... no heater b/c of headers... so, can you do the rings and heads without cracking the case and checking main bearings, rod bearings and everything that will be replaced in a year anyway? I just didn't want to to all of this and have to do it all again when I trick out the engine... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/pain30.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pain30.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pain30.gif) I shouldn't have had so much coffee! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I may only do the heads now... when I told people I had a burnt valve it immediately to ... check your crank, mains, and a dozen other things... and then everyone was telling me I was basically killing my engine b/c of it... I see the point but why cut off my finger just b/c I got a scratch?! it bacame a bad case of "scope-creep" where everyone was saying "well, you may as well do this... and if you do that you should do this... " until it became "tear it down and start over!!!" and I'm over here like "WTF just happened?!" ok, but now I don't feel crazy, or like I'm going to FUBAR the whole thing by just replacing the heads...
