Do I have to get my head resurfaced?

this sucks since i recently rebuilt the engine, i guess it's an expensive lesson learned. Anyway my car has the exact same problems as what your car had. Where could i find a set of arp bolts? how many are there? and what's the factory rated torque spec for the head bolts? That's awesome...

it drives like crap before it's warmed up but it always seems to be missing at idle and up to like 2500rpm. after that it seems to rev fine but when it misses usually a huge cloud of white smoke pours out of the exhaust. Could it be that my head bolts loosened up enough to let coolant into the...

i have about 10-15 miles on the car since i got the charging problem fixed... It kind of worked it's way out once i got it warmed up the battery light went away. I haven't done anything to it since and the new engine has only 10k on it... I'm guessing my head bolts my have loosened up since i...

Ok, so i got my car up and running again, but now it seems to be missing at idle but after u give it some gas it doesn't seem to miss... why would it blow white smoke off a stop light, but when ur driving it doens't smoke and when u start it up, it's doesn't smoke... I'm guess maybe my head...

ok so today i had a shop look at my car and they said it was the alternator, So i had my alternator checked while it was on the car and it was pushing 11.9v and they said that would fail, So i just drove the car around, got it warmed up and now the battery light went away and it's not throwing...

yeah. Well i put the ground wire on the block and it's still doing it, I'm getting code 11 (power supply). How do i check the ignition switch, circuit, main relay switch, circuit, and ecu? Code Error 11 ECU(+B) Diagnosis Momentary interruption in power supply to ECU. Trouble Area...

here's a video http://youtube.com/watch?v=o5caKdRfGDM But I'll try putting that ground on block instead, But what about those other wires that are bolted to the intake manifold? Are they supposed to be bolted to the intake manifold?

Here's an update on the problem... I have a video coming as well...

i know of a ground that's just hanging from right by the transmission, Could that cause it?

Ok, got an update. So i figured out that jumping it will get the car started but right when you unhook the jumper cables the car dies. O'reilly said it's the alternator, So tomorrow that's what i'm gonna do.

why does my battery light come on while i'm driving?

yeah, i checked all my connections and they are good.

what do you mean? what wiring should i check?

yes.

I did and now the car starts but my battery, Rear tail light out, and Brake light are on... and the car runs for 30seconds and shuts off by itself... Could a ground cable not grounded cause this?

I have a brand new alternator and a good fully charged battery and when i go to start the click it clicks once and everything turns off, i mean all the lights. Everything seems Dead... if i pull the negative off the battery and put it back on then i have full power again, but again when i try...

well my main problem is when i try to loosen the bolts that hold the fan/ pulley.. when i loosen them the pulley spins... how do i keep it from spinning?

ok, so i started trying to pull my water pump, and i can't figure out how to get to the bottom bolts on the water pump... I'de like to remove the fan so i can get to them easier but i don't see how it comes off... i tryed un bolting the fan clutch from the water pump and i can't loosen the...
