Its time to do a fresh rebuild on the car, and i was wondering where i can get a reliable thick head gasket. I have been using OEM, but i want to go with a thicker one to lower the comp just a little bit and give myself a little more breathing room with the pistons and valves. Its a b18c1 stock 81mm bore.
-
I run a cometic in the Galant.
-
Isn't that motor pretty fresh? How many miles on it?
-
Ya less then a year I thought?
-
Jace must have helped him rebuild it....lol
-
its been 3 years since the last rebuild and with the car being shipped on a boat, i want to just redo some things now that i have time. Also where do you get your cosmetic head gaskets from?

But how many miles did you put on in that 3 years. I know it was stateside for most of it. And you were a broad.
Also where do you get your cosmetic head gaskets from?
It's called the internet.....lol I've always ordered them from ebay. Just look up the number on your gasket and then Google that number. Most the time sellers on ebay have the best prices.
-
I have put maybe 5k on it and another 5k when i was gone. My only issue is i have to redo all my vac lines and some others after it got to me after the long boat ride. I just want to make sure everything is looking great, and i seem to be loosing water so I'm guessing the head gasket. Its only like 5 hours of work and like 300 bucks. I have no issues spending it. I need like a .050 head gasket since both my head and block have been decked. Jut didn't know if anyone dealt with a great company.

Way to pimp out a member, but I will talk to him
-
So then you don't really need a rebuild. You need to figure out where your loosing water at first.
-
The motor is the last place I haven't look at yet, and well I have been wanting to and now I have some time.

Went for a drive last night and this happened. Looks like i really need a rebuild. One on the valve keepers failed. I guess its time to find a c4 or c6 head and some c4 cams.

Let me guess....... supertech
-
brain Crower actually. I always thought there stuff really wasn't that bad. Those were CP pistons as well.
-
Shitty man. That fucker beat the shit out of its self.
-
OEM ftw.
-
Yes it did. Found a c6 head local for $500. Getting replacement valves and will do all the work myself. The cylinder walls were not touched and the rods and crank look great. Turbo is also fine.
-
How do the rod bearings look? And I agree with dustin. Oem all the way
-
They looked great as well. No scaring what so ever. I turned off the car and put it in neutral the moment I heard it. Going to stick with crower and I'm hoping the new c6 head will increase the power. Going with 9.8:1 comp this time though
-
So after the cowers failed you, your gonna go back and do it again with them?
-
The only reason this happened is due to the keeper failing. I found it in 3 pieces. They were oem. I'm now getting aftermarket hardened steel ones.
-
were you using oem retainers and valves?
-
No, but when I had all the head work done they put oem ones back in.

Its this the case of 7deg keepers in 10deg required retainers or visa versa? :noel:

Not sure I rememeber seeing that as an issuw with Crower and d-series and I think b-series also.
:noel:
-
Well if that's the case, then I buying crower keepers will fit with everything else I have.
-
Well I found a complete c6 head for 450 shipped to me. Got here today and it's been decked and ready to get some upgraded parts. I'm going to the field and will be posting pics when I get back of the rebuild.
-
I run ferrea valves with there keepers no problems. Also use super tech no prob
-
I only broke 4 valves and had stock keepers. So buying 4 to replace and there keepers will keep the budget down and there keepers are made for there valves unlike oem.
-
What u doin. With the fucked up head? I need some can caps for your old head
-
Local guy had some BC retainers pull through on him. The fuckers are garbage.
-
Ferrea or OEM is all I recommend. I use the super tech cause they were in the head already
