    Tonite, the heads come off. We found coolant and oil when we lifted off the intake mani and tgv's :emo:

    Head gasket. Srsly, that is more than likely what it is. Worst case, you'd probably need a fresh hone on the bore.

    My 6 cylinder makes 1250 lb/ft of torque.
    Screw the engine, I'll start praying for your wallet ;)

    It's probably the head gaskets.

    I'm thinking its probably just head gaskets. I've paid for new gaskets and pistons but I'm keeping my fingers crossed the heads are ok.

    Good luck with the engine, Pete. A performance car as a hobby is never cheap. Think of it as an opportunity. :)

    Ok so the heads appear to have no cracks and valves look good. I'm taking the heads to D and G Wednesday to get tested to be sure. Hopefully the pistons get here soon!

    Heads are off. Culprit was a blown head gasket indeed.

    I'm running the 20G for one more summer. Next year something rotated.

    My old roomates were always ranting and raving about that place. It's just a chinese buffet.

    They are all the same people. The best one is the one closest to you, that's about it.
