Kmart sells car parts? I gotta check that out

 

Do they make laminated/composite head gaskets for your engine, or does that aluminum boat anchor favor the steel ones?

 

i havent seen any composite gaskets, i really wish there was one.

 

Are bearings and rings magnetic?

 

Just ordered a re ring kit, 145$. I'm pulling the engine this weekend and sending her off to the machine shop, 150$ to deck the block head and hone the cylinders.

What did you decide to do about a block filler?

 

I think I'm going to do what you posted, it'll be easier and cheaper.

 

So I ordered some parts today. I got new lost motion springs, new valve cover studs (I was missing 3 and had some ghetto bolt setup) and a new knock sensor (mine was missing).

As for the car, the engines ready to pull. I have to get the hoist and stand from work tomorrow, than just pull 3 bolts and lift her out.

Ohh I also ordered a set of 345cc OBD1 injectors

 

well got the engine out and the block torn down









also we got some weather today, heres my backyard

 

got my block and head back today dude said he had to cut .010" off the block and .003" off the head. he also didnt hone the cylinders. he said because the cylinders are aluminum he cant hone them, something about there impregnated with silicone? idk
