WTF did they start making the front covers out of gold? I swear when I built my 6 bolt it was only like $100. I just checked on Maps site and the 7 bolt is over $400. I'll part the fucker before I pay that much for a oil pump.

I took the head apart today, so that means more carnage pics.

I'm starting to get discouraged. I just keep finding more and more things that are going to cost money.

This is the combustion chamber of the cylinder that dropped the valve.

Bent valves I think these are the intake valves from cly. 4

wear on the cam journals I'm starting to think I might have had a oiling issue some time before the rod went . hopefully these can be polished but I'm not getting my hopes up.

E85 "black goo" build up only on the cly that the rod blew. I think this might have been the cause of the failure.

you can see all the other injectors are clean except #2 that blew.

"black goo" build up in #2 intake port but not #1

That damn goo, wonder what oems do on their flex fuel cars to address that.

Black goo. Bleh. That's lame as hell. Is it just me or does the lobe on the left in picture three look odd? The lines in it. Almost looks like a crack. I'm sure it isn't but yikes.

I usually get my fuel from the same station and switch back to regular gas at the end of the season and Ive never had a problem before. last year I didnt switch back and this is what I found.

The lobe was scratched from when I tossed a rocker last year. I buffed it out and figured it was good to go since it runs on the roller.

DSMINMN, lets just say you were back in school . can you quote me a price on doing the head with all new valves , guides and 2 new seats? I can tale care of the damage to the combustion chamber .

It should be fine since it is a scratch. Granted I was in school and had the time you're looking at around $200 before driving down to get it and/or delivery. As well as assuming you supply the valves, guides, seats seals and such. It also depends on what type of guides you want to use. If they're bronze the price would reflect it because after knocking the new ones in you have to hone them and that takes a little bit of time.

Carl, there's also a pretty affordable head place in Andover called Northern Cylinder Head. You could try giving them a buzz. They did lots of work for me and my buddy back in the day, extremely reasonable prices.

There's also Headwerks in Bloomington. They do amazing work on everything and anything.

Tim zimmer has been telling me about a cleaner he has been running in his ethanol. I forget the brand but he says it's like magic at preventing buildup and does an awesome job cleaning also he says he rarely sees a change in afrs. .1/.2 at most. I'm deff going to give it a try as I also believe the goo can clog injectors or cause bad spray patterns. Hell I had to send my 2150 to fic because two won't even open to clean them. Also I may have some spare head parts. I have a spare 1g head but I assume you are running a 2g

Please share when you remember the name of the cleaner.

Manhattan oil
Top lube
Part # 19769
Tim says he used grape I believe that's
Part # 19769-31
Says it smells super good like a mix of blue 110 and e85 obviously. They make multiple cents for experimentation of fuel smell. He says your eyes don't burn quite as bad either. This post=win
