lol, i have a 2000 pontiac grand prix. there was problems with the accord so i sold it for cheap. $1000 I didnt wanna keep dumping money it.

I just sold my accord. I believe im having symptoms of a BHG. Oil looks thin almost looking like chocolate milk. Coolant reserve tank always goes empty in about a half week of driving. So i want to save the head from it getting in any worst condition before it ends up like the one i have shaved...

thats just a spare head i got from a local guy. its just to get my car on the road until i can get forge internals for the block. then port the head that is still good in my car now.

lol i see. ok so do i stay with standard spark plugs or do i need to change them up to iridium now? lets not forget, IF i put this head on, its only going to be on for about a month or 2.

you called the shop?

The guy at the shop said the head was warped and that they needed to take that much off. The owner of AMS seemed kinda like he didn't care. Probably because they only work on domestic racing motors.

I took the head to AMS by the state fair grounds. Head has never been shaved before. Where did you take your head? I've heard of C&S and I'm thinking of taking the head that's in my car to them.

Isn't high compression only good for super charger?

I see

Higher octane it is. Wouldn't higher compression cause bad timing on the cps?

I'm lost and confused. Don't want to risk anything bad to the engine, it only has 130k on the engine and is still solid. I just wanted to replace the head gasket the proper way. Now I don't trust shops here in milwaukee with my engine.

There is a place that sells 100 octane or was it 1 something. But I've been pumping regular unleaded for about a year. So I'll switch my gas up as soon as I fire up my baby. I'm thinking of throwing this bad head out now. I hate the sight of it now. More money to spend.

That's funny, mine says unleaded fuel only. hope it doesn't ruin the fuel pump.

What? Premium gas now?

So what you guys are saying is stock boost off the waste gate is safe? Anyways, the one that is still in my car will get the better work. Hopefully

Yes, that is why I pmed Ian. mr. Bojangles, I still have 2 heads. I was just a little upset at what the shop did. Thanks everyone

I told them not to take off more the 10 thousandths. I go pick it up and the guy said they took of 18. Smh

Turbo habanero in wisconsin we don't have many 7m laying around in the junk years like down there in Cali. I've been in fresno junk yard and man there its a lot. By the way, any luck in getting your car back?

Damn, so I should just try to get my money back huh?

So the machine shop shaved off too much. 18 thousandths on an inch. I will be using the stock head gasket "felpro" along with Aaron's ARP head studs and exhaust stud repair kit. Hopefully it last me through Spring until i finish my other head. I know I shouldn't do this but i need to get my car...
