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? |

Can anyone offer more advice for identifying the camshaft without removing it? Those rivets make me think it's stock. If it is, then maybe I won't even bother with new rings and rod bearings - just put it back together and start saving for a proper rebuild with new heads figured in.
I want to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) this thing instead of fool with the engine forever. |
