so, after a top end rebuild over the winter I find that I now have exhaust gasses leaking into the cooling system (bubbles out of the overflow tank like crazy, and the car heats up really really fast). With 210,000 kms on the motor i figure its a good time for a complete rebuild as there was a very slight knock developing before the initial head gasket replacement a few short months ago...
I am hoping some of you have some pointers on what to do to the engine while its out of the car. the rebuild is going to be done by a very reputable shop (they had a hennessey viper venom in on my last visit!!!) and the manager seems to know the SC engine pretty well. Has anyone run across something that shouldnt be overlooked while the engine is out of the car? Any advice would be appreciated!!
heres what I have at the moment
94 5-speed SC
210,000 kms (approx 130,000 miles)
ported heads
ported blower
Iridium plugs
thats about it for engine mods
planning on roller rockers, and any other suggestions you may have!
thanks!
