i put a second hand one in and started sagging badly only 2 months later... i tried making my own rof lining a while ago (did a horrible job) so no im just going to take the roof out, scrape the horrible orange foam off, and stick the same material the car came with straight back on, stuff the...

hmm a mirror..could be a good idea lol, thanks for ur help anywho..trial and error i guess

Hey all, After putting my heads back in recently had a bit of trouble trying to put the bloodt oil dipstick back into the engine sump.. took me and a friend forver to try and feel around for the entry hole!..but now.. a few months on it doesnt look like the stick is the rite place because there...

they're pretty expensive for a v6 modification... as morton said they are only really worth getting on an 8... they do make the system sound a bit better, but as far as performance goes i havent really found much power gain from them..

yeha i'd get the heli coil if u want a cheaper way out, alot cheaper than buying the entire manifold, im sure your dads mate will help you out either way.. a tiny bit of coolant mixed in with your oil in your valley wont be to harmfull... i ran a blown head gasket with coolant mixed totally in...

hmmm...if you were any earlier i could have smapped you for an integra with minor front end damage, with a sports clutch and ferarri red fading super paint..

if it still runs like a fart in a bottle check your injectors for breakage or blockages..my car after recently replacing my head gaskets was running like a pooer..trned out 3 of my injectors were clogged with crap..cleaned them up and the fuel lines and car runs better then it did before :)

finally replaced my head gaskets..was real excited and was up to tightening the plenum chamber bolts, mate drops a bolt down one of the holes...i was errrr! finally got it out, and after me lecturing him about being an idiot, i decided to drop a socket down there too..well done me! 1 hour later...

forgot to ask..is the car on gas??

a brocken cat could be blocking the exhaust flow, you'll have to have a lok and check just how damaged it is.. if it's completely smashed in or torn open could cause an issue.. but i'm running a straight through cat and its been smashed to bits and i've never had any back fires... If the car's...

thanks for your input...its about 50 bucks a head, not to much..i can prob afford that lol

hmm...pulled heads outta my car after having water in my oil...now! my problem is..im a piss poor student and ive got my heads out with new gaskets ready to go back in but im not sure if i should bother getting me heads checked/machined professionally..i dont want to get that all that done to...

wish that was what all mine was..well i guess i'll find out once i pull everyhting out..

very late responce but ill reply for people intrest anyway... If your not completely mechanical illiterate you can do the manifold gaskets your self...wrth spending the 40 bucks and getting a gregorys manual if your not sure..will save hundreds in mechanics fee's and it is relatively easy to do...

hmm..nah i only ran about half of what was recomended for a tank...but on closer inspection of my oil today noticed it was a poo brown as in "blown head gasket" poo colour... great, back to pulling apart that ecotech again lol
