Guinness and scotch are not made from meat, right?

While waiting for the magic to happen, you too can remain a vegan for that part of the day.

OMG, I went to bed last night and the Leprechauns must have showed up while I was sleeping and look what they did! So now what else should I do "while I'm in there"? Everything in there is at least 10 years old. I'm thinking of replacing all the cables and I'll have to replace the engine tin rubber seals as they were somewhat damaged when the car was raised off the engine. All the rubber fuel lines will be changed out to the new plastic lined ones. New fuel filter. What else besides general cleaning and re-painting? The engine has about 30,000miles on it. If I have the bad head done, does anyone recommend doing the other one as well or "if it aint broke, don't fix it"?

nice job! I have said many times that you can remove a carb typeIV in less than an hour if you have the right tools sitting around.

FIRST: AND - B|tch slap whoever put that throttle linkage on there.
Just buy the right one when you put it back in ;-)

Undercoating.

It will be painted with VHT. Works as a great insulator and will keep the rear trunk cooler.

That throttle linkage works perfectly. It's a CB performance linkage that has been modified. There is absolutely NO slack in the linkage. All four throttles open and close fully and at the exact same rate. Someone needs to be Bitch slapped for criticizing something they don't know about. I'll take better pictures of the linkage and you can see how it's been re-worked, when I get the engine back together. Whenever the hell that might be. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Inspect the head first. Look over it carefully to see if you can find where the leak was.

These valve guides just don't look right and maybe someone can help explain what I'm looking at. Three of the intake valves have what I think is a brass valve guide showing? It shows weather the valves are open or closed. One of the valves doesn't show anything as you can see from the pics. Does this mean the valve guides have come loose? The last picture shows the rockers looking pretty clean. Anyway, it looks like both heads will come off.

If you cant tell a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) when you see one, I just dont know anymore....

I could criticize your starter "helper relay" or your head vents next if that really gets you going

Can you tell what has been done to the linkage? Have you seen mine work? If you want to help me with this problem I have with the engine fine but I don't need to be criticized by someone who hasn't even seen, heard, or driven my car. Help me out with some of your expertise or stay the fuck off this thread.

The inside of those heads look too clean for some reason.

How many miles did this engine have on it before you noticed the leak?

Got it! I actually thought we had a pretty good conversational relationship from some of the other threads.

SO... I guess I will just fuck off then.

About 30,000. The engine was built by FAT Performance about 9 years ago. 147 HP @5300RPM on the dyno. This is the first time I have had any trouble.

I always appreciate informed help. When someone blindly criticizes something they know nothing about... Kinda bothers me. I can show you what I did with the throttle linkage when I get things back together. Apologies till then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

When I first said:

My first thought was that there is nothing up there that can leak oil.


I didnt realize that you had head vents.
Maybe you should ask if there is anything that could have caused higher crankcase pressure than before. (clogged vent or blown ring?)

And I dont just go and take the time to take pictures of a spare head and bother to post them to photobucket just for the opportunity to dick with someone....

Both head vents are connected to a breather and I don't believe either one is clogged. I'm hoping this is a head issue and not a blown ring. The helper relay was there when I bought the car. It works fine and I saw no reason to remove it.
