Re: Nissan engine dont need help now its the head gasket.
LOL funny guys, yep the gasket showed it's ugly head when revving to reset idle. Parts are coming and Friday and Sat of this weekend will be used up doing the damn head gasket. If I wasn't able to do this for less then 200 bucks I'd have gotten rid of the thing but when the cost is all labour, I can't justify not doing it.

And somewhere in between working on this and the Civic, you are going to ride 1400 miles to Barber.

LOL, Civic is being inspected right now so it should be good to go for the next 6 months or more. this I need to get done before Barber so Jill can get to work while I am away. I also have to put a new starter in the GL and set the timing and probably change the oil too. No pressure. ;D

Re: Nissan engine dont need help now its the head gasket.
yep. was shipped minutes after paypal cleared and arrived next day, I'll use em again if need be in future for sure. Thanks Again for the link, was the best deal on a starter, I was looking before you sent it and couldn't find any for less than $100 shipped like that one was. To bad US-CAN exchange went shitty and it is a little over 100 CAD now, but better then the 250-300 I was being quoted for one already in Canada.

Well got the head off last night, gasket is bad signs of coolant in 2 of 4 cylinders. Cleanup and new gasket today. Pics later if I think of it. Just had a big breakfast going to be a long day. Only good part is the old gasket left almost no residue on block or head

Re: Nissan engine dont need help now its the head gasket.
spray both sides of the gasket with permatex copper head gasket spray
and place on clean dry block it will help the gasket heat cycle and still maintain a seal
blow the head bolt holes out before final cleaning so you dont get a hydraulic lock on a bolt
or a false torque due to gasket scrapings
