    Ajusa Headgasket??

    Well I will be pulling the rest of my head tommorow, I will inspect the block and head, check for warpage. scrape it all clean, clean the pistons, and then make the decision on machining the head or not.. I am hoping since it was a NA to start, that the old HG didnt imprint the head.. I am...

    Ajusa Headgasket??

    To make a long story short, I allready have a head from a turbo motor that has been machined already... but the head seen a lil bit of moisture.. I think the head itself would be ok.. but the cams and stuff are pretty rusty... I wonder if I could just swap over all the NA's cams, and valve shims...

    Ajusa Headgasket??

    Thanks for the advice.. But I allready have the ARP's :biglaugh: Do you think its necessary to do a copper spray on this gasket? also I cant afford to machine my head and block now, so I am hoping Ajusa will be as forgiving as the OEM gasket

    Start, stop, try to start and wont

    Well as the title says, I can start the car, it runs pretty good, somewhat a rough idle (I do not have a 02 sensor yet.. hopefully in a day or 2). but then if you stop the car and go back to try and start it back up, it wont.. but then come back say a day later and it will fire right up. It is...

    backfiring flames and smoke in intake

    hello everyone. I swapped in a JDM 7mge into my car, I am running on Turbo electronics (AFM, CPS, coilpack, igniter....) I am not running a turbo yet. My problem I am sure is in Timing.. I am getting spark, and fuel, no codes are being thrown. when I crank the motor it will sometimes "backfire"...
