hey guys just gonna give some pics of the car rebuilding the head as we speak any one have input on the kinda head studs and headgasket to use also valves stock power just getting it to run good while i build another motor

ARP studs, can never go wrong. Cometic or FACTORY MLS head gasket. Don't bother with Ebay gasket kits. Clean car. Looks like 1947 did when she was brought home.

 

Thanks man.

I just noticed that this isn't a sunroof car... Bummers... If your after market CD player doesn't fit right you can usually find a factory trim piece to make everything look right. Just keep your eyes open for people parting cars out.

Sunroof = a lot of weight way up at the highest point in the car.

Yeah, but the weight can be offset through the use of racing stickers and seat belt pads that say R-TYPE. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Only works on Honduhs tho...
Looking good, hope you get on top of all the issues soon!

So how did you finally end up determining that you had bent valves? Did you guys redo the t-belt and check compression? Use a bore scope? Or just pull the head and do an inspection?

 

pulled the head. so i think iam going to buy a members head for 250 he says all is good i just wanna get it running.

Well I got a hg 4 layer cosmetic I bought off kyrger thought I needed to redue timing but wasn't the actual problem, ill let it go for what I paid for it, its still in the factory plastic...

 

[AnotherNewb]

Don't forget to take your time and replace the valve seals while the head is off.

Did you figure out what happened to bend the valves?

 

Nice ride. Whites the fastest color you know.

Quoting Anothernewb:
looks like 1947 did
1947 was a little cleaner bro. No offense jdm2k1, yours is still nice.

Quoting Steve:
all that weight up high.

I wouldn't trade the luxury of having the moon roof for the little bit of weight loss for nothing. Of course 1947 is a DD also, not a strip car.

Everyone thinks their baby is cuter /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

Good luck on the head swap. Side note, your front bumper should be painted black on the front where the slats go in. Some tape and spray paint out to fix that. It makes a big difference on USDM bumpers and it will look factory again.

 

What makes a difference to me on USDM bumpers is the thing cut out with a nice FM mounted up in it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
On a serious note though, it would look better painted black like OEM
