if yuou broke one valve, whats to say you didnt smash the hell out of that cyl with 180psi in it...might get lucky and ahve bent 2 cyl's worth

 

cause i have compression.... and the original damage was from a loose spark plug in number 1... there is always a possiblity more is damaged but i doubt it, it would be way lower compression..
But im thinking worse case anyways.. wont know till i finish pulling hte head off.

 

[QUOTE=hecash,Jun 24 2008, 03:59 AM] And so do another 10 or 20 folks on this forum.

 

i bet he's a thief

 

I thought about it for a long time, stealth. Might as well just get a whole new block...

Good luck though, sorry about your thread.

Also... has anyone seen my parts....?

hecash is a very expereinced member of this forum and is offering solid advice. If part of his post came off as bragging, that's unfortunate, but it's accurate. He has access to parts sources that the rest of us do not.

There's nothing wrong with using OEM parts from the dealer, but it may make the price a little different than he's quoting. I suspect that was the reason for his original caveat.

And I agree that a complete engine rebuild (or replacement) would be the best soulution to your issues.
