maddox710 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Posted September 8, 2013 Car is put in the garage now, away for 2 weeks as I'm going on holiday to St, Lucia. Hopefully I can get the head of my forged engine and get me athena head gasket on and arp head bolts in too, and start putting it all back together when I get back an start saving for parts again.
maddox710 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 Been a while since an update. Had the head of the forged engine today to inspect any damage if there was any. Once all the cams where out here's how it looked Once the head was off no4 looked abit oily but not sure if that was the oil that just pissed out the headAll the bores look spot on. Still got that lovely cross hatching going on. The wossners cleaned up pretty good as well. It also had a mls head gasket on not sure of the brand as there is no markings on it, but I pressed the micrometer down onto it for it to read 1.22mm. Is the stock head gasket a composite type or mls?
The Toffinator Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Engine looks clean mate, stock headgasket is composite AFAIK The only one that is MLS is the 0.6mm Paseo one
maddox710 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 Engine looks clean mate, stock headgasket is composite AFAIK The only one that is MLS is the 0.6mm Paseo oneso could be aftermarket item like Athena, will wait for some1 else to validate this
