MAF sensor....

Another vote for disconnected/dead afm. I had this problem.

What about the a/c compressor idler pulley? I currently have mine apart because the bearing was very worn and noisy.

IJ, what does removing the plugs gain you? Please pardon my noobishness.

That made my day

Nice hollow-body. I have a buddy that bought a chambered Epiphone Les Paul Ultra, it sounded pretty good.

yeah I've pretty much given up on my last head, but just for laughs, here's the rest of the pictures. You're gonna love this. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showpost.php?p=729653&postcount=13 I think that's my only choice then, I will order a rebuilt head, check it out and compare cams...

Thanks, for the info jdub. Yes, I've already ordered one rebuilt head, that measured ~114mm and it was promptly returned. My last head scored up the cams and journals pretty bad, not just the babbit material, it's scored, bad. pics here...

So I've got one person who thinks it matters and one who says its not a big deal. While I appreciate the comments, I have already seen what has been said here with the help of the search button. The question I'm looking for an answer to is, is there a way to determine what's a gte head and...

I've been looking for a rebuilt gte head for some time now, and one SM member recommended http://www.cylinder-heads.com This seems to be a competent company and the guy I talked to seemed knowledgeable. However, they sell gte and ge heads as the same thing, which they are, but I was under...

I was also wondering if anybody has any suggestions on this subject.

When buying from the site listed earlier, www.headsonly.com, like jdub said, I would be concerned about the head's history. I recently bought a head from CHI, and after inspection, found that it measured 114.046mm. This means that 1.954mm were removed from the head. What's more, there was...

Yeah, the main thing I want to accomplish is just to clean out any metal shavings from milling the block. This should be more than adequate shouldn't it?

Yeah I've read about our freeze plugs through threads on this site. Lots of good info. I plan to use toyota plugs. JJ can you elaborate on aqueous cleaning? Is it just plain water under high pressure? I've talked to a guy here in my area that does mainly cylinder head work, I think this...

Freeze plugs I'm not so worried about, because like you said, they're cheap and not real hard to replace as long as the block is out of the car. I'm more worried about bearings and getting them installed. Also, hot tanking will take the paint off the block and I'd have to repaint it...
