Man, I can't believe this. I just changed the headgaskets 20,000 miles ago and what does my car start doing? Why, overheating and blowing steam out of the exhaust, of course. I just about wanted to cry when I saw that. I think it was originally running hot because of the radiator but the headgaskets took all they could. My bike is my only other running vehicle right now, which is what I usually take anyway, but I have to have the car to go do my laundry and buy groceries. I tell you, it's a family trait to have bad luck with cars.
I'm trying to look at it from a positive point of view though. I've been wanting ported heads and roller rockers for a while now. It looks like now I have a good enough excuse to get them. Anybody have a good deal on some ported heads? Anybody feel like coming up and helping a brother out? I hope to have 325 to 350 bhp with heads, rockers, underdrive pulleys, and the two mods I already have. Does that sound about right? I certainly dread all the work I'm going to have to put into it though, especially in the middle of summer. Oh, I'm going to get Arp studs too so hopefully this won't happen again. I thought I'd post all this here and see if you guys had any suggestions.
