My car has been sitting for too long. It's time to get it back in driving shape.
While assessing the condition of the engine, I found that the head on the driver's side has some issues to address. Here is the hardware that was holding the intake to the head: I know, right? We have seen this before. Yes, those are threads that came out next to the threaded rod/nut combo on the left. It looks like I have to drop the engine and pull that head. Question: Can anyone recommend a good machine shop in Central Florida to fix the head put the studs back in? |

Is that broken-finned head repairable?
I contacted Len Hoffman about it, but he only told me that he doesn't perform partial repairs on TIV heads. He didn't actually answer my question about whether it could be repaired. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I don't have $$$$ to spend on having these heads completely remanufactured right now, and am not even sure this engine is worth that kind of work at this point. If this one can be fixed or simply bolted back on and run (I don't see any cracks or other damage anywhere), then that's what I'll do. So come on, let's hear some opinions so I can (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) ! |
