Sparky Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Can you get away with changing stem seals without removing the head? If so I cant see that being a huge job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 dunno dude, as u know i aint particularly technically minded.spoke with Jay last nite, the turbo is still very much alive it would seem, the shaft play and cracks are the same as when she went in originally, so for now we are goin to continue with the K1 as it pulls like a train.i was hoping it was either the engine or the turbo not both, so right now it looks like my prayers were answered. Right now i am awaiting final verdict from Jay and Secret Steve, but i've a fair idea where this is heading. and so long as the turbo does hold up, it means i can continue to plan for that special final purchase i have started paying for.So, once Jay and Steve have confered and I know the score, I will update accordingly.oh the joys. should have gone honda...........my arse.Phil.

Idrees Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Can you get away with changing stem seals without removing the head? If so I cant see that being a huge jobI imagine that would be a right pain, probably easier to whip the head off and use the valve clamp tool. Would take no more than 20 minutes using one of them, plus the time of removing and fitting the head!Glad you're sticking with it Phil, looking forward to see what else you have planned!

SiCaln Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 all the best for this bro, at least you're a step forward on what it good be - that Jay what a legend lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Engine seems healthy compression wise mate and your not easy on the old girl so thats a good sign, stick with it mate valve stem seals are common on any Jap motorPlenty more boost to go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 to be fair, she gets a pretty easy life, mostly motor way and A-road 5th gear driving, the hardest pulls she sees are always in 3rd gear, 1st and 2nd dont really get abused tbh.i hope to stick with it this time, and if we get this cleared up and the final piece installed, then i'll continue for now, but this nonsense of breaking down has to stop!! other wise its getting shelved for a diesel, period.Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 lol well said!got a call from Jay on Friday, engine needs swapped. I've given the go-ahead for this as Secret Steve can provide a low mileage, freshened up engine for a decent price and will take my smokey the bandit as a trade in.so for now, she stays because i want my car back.unsure of a time scale yet.Jays Garage and Secret Steve to the rescue to the......**,000,000,000th time.Phil.
