Alright guys, let the onslaught begin.

I don't know what to say, but I followed the fsm? and torqued to little bit <58 ft/lbDon't know what happened, but now I'm in need of another head sigh.



I can't post on the classified cause I need > 10 posts. I also did a search but came up with the neo thread (zerothread?id=404708)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.Namco

Noted your advice. Any other people you (or anyone else) would recommend? I'm trying to contact all these people at once, rather than just contact one, get rejected, then come back on here.

Thanks,Namco

All internals are included with the block (had low compression on #6), both heads will be stripped but will have the valves and all that still in place. I have the extras for the heads but will include for extra costs depending on the parts. I only have 1 set of stock cams so first come first serve. I do not have any spare altenators, p/s a/c oil water pumps, belts, exhaust manifolds. I do have 2 spare intake manifolds and a few misc other parts as well as a brand new stock head gasket.

Paypal for payments, buyer pays 3% fee as well as shipping costs. Roughly $75 average for a head to ship.


This was in page 3 of the classifieds thread at the top of this forum.

Wow. That's not even close to fixable. Maybe it had an overheating problem and fatigued the metal? Might want to look into what might have caused that at a low torque.

Its weird, cause me and a couple of friends have left it out in the garage (process of rebuilding) (guess it needs another rebuild =/) anywho yeah, so it wasn't "running" yet.

And we appreciate it That was in the classifieds thread at the top of this particular forum though, not the classifieds forum just FYI. I don't think there is a post count min for this one. I can't wait to get home off these govt computers and see pics of the carnage

OO didn't know, my fault. (appreciate the comment)

@250sx. tell me about it. Haha if only someone snapped a photo of my face, the moment it happened. =`O

@300plus : Not sure if it, but I have been using it to torque just about everything, including the head bolts (but your suggestion has been noted and I will go torque random stuff before I torque the next head I get. =/)

Thanks peepz,Namco
