head

Hey gang, Curious what people think these marks may be? There was nothing loose in the cylinder once the head was pulled. I'm thinking either: -detonation -contamination (big chunk of carbon) -engine damage (piece of piston ring that has exited exhuast?)

After pulling the heads to inspect and replace my lifters I've managed to put a few gouges in my block when cleaning up the deck with a razor blade ready for a new head gasket. I'm hoping the viton parts of the new gasket fill the troughs and block any coolant leaks. I'm thinking I should sand...

Hey team, I've decided to pull the heads to see if my lifters are worn out after some intermittent ticking and have a few questions. Appreciate help on any of these! 1 The lifter bodies and the bottom of the lifter bores are scuffed ever so slightly - no gouges - just superficial wear (can...

Hi all, I've checked the manual, checked online, and checked in person, but still can't seem to determine exactly what model my head unit is in my 2010 Calais. I think it's the series 1 "IQ" head unit, but i'm honestly not sure. I'm considering changing head units, primarily because (due to...

Right i've had enough with this stupid VT. Can anyone think of any part of the car that could be causing the highbeams to draw small amounts of power from the passenger low beam (when the high beams are off), and only the drivers side highbeam to work (passenger low beam dimming at the same...

I've had recent troubles with my headlights (which were aftermarnet, and fit perfectly) which are detailed in other threads of mine. I purchased what i was told are GENUINE second hand lights from city dismantlers. They don't fit properly, it's as if theyre not quite big enough leaving a gap...

I was just wondering if anyone woud know what sort of price I would be looking at for a reconditioned T5 for a VS and to get the engine head fixed. The gearbox works but is very noisy, and I think I have a cracked head? Symptoms are: radiator using coolant, stalls on cold start, when driving...
