Ok, just let me start off by telling you a little of how its going. Frankly its going great. I have almost everything off except the intake and the valve cover/heads and only worked on it for 3-4 hours. Anyways, I get just about all tha stuff off and reach my hand down inside the port of the intake and what do i fell? It is FILLED complelety with coolant. Is this normal? I mean I know I blew my head gaskets but cheeseless rice! Thats crazy. I pulled out the injectors (obviously) and they seem to be a little on the dirty side. Is there anything I can do, like any chemical I can soak them in that will clean them out really good while there off? I hope so I really wanna clean this baby up. Some other things, my intake bolts seem to be coming out really snuggly.. I keep wrenching them back and forth to get them free. I also hope thats normal.
The next thing I found was that when i took out the intercooler there was probably a 5 table spoons of oil that came out of the lower intercooler tupe. Why is this and what causes it? Is there anyway I can fix it?
My heater core I beleive may be going, would it be wise to replace it not while I have everything in the engine bay out? Or is an east job that can be done at a later time. my dad seems to think that it may be hard. Opinions?
I am currently debating whether or not to get a valve job done for my car. My real question is, is it worth it? What are the benifits. And will my car run better (performance gains)? I didn't really want to spend a lot of money but I was going to try to at least get the valve job done if its worth it and port the exhaust manifolds. But I don't know. Any comments would be helpful. I just hope now I can get this engine back together.
Oh ok this is the last thing i promise. I just replaced the plugs AND O2 sensors like not to long ago at all. Matter of fact, there brand new. Do I have to replace them? Did blowing my head gaskets ruin them that fast? I hope not I do not want to have to buy some more again.
Any info on any of this would be REALLY helpful!! thanks guys!
