how many of you NA'ers have thought about loosening your head bolts just a 'tad' to give you a needed excuse for a big rebuild?

I agree, if you're going to blow something up, make sure it goes with a BANG.

Drain the oil, drain the coolant, see how long she lasts nailed at 6,000rpm.



Take vid.

Oh but if you want to keep the engine don't do that, lol.

To do what? Blow it up? It would take awhile to "kill" the engine that way, especially since I myself, drive around for 3 weeks with water in the oil from BHG with no ill effects. I'm sure my rod bearings don't like as pretty as they should, but no knockage here.

Mine had 215,000 on it, it ran great, but the body was in horrible shape. I tore it down 2 years ago, and now I have a different shell with a 5 speed which I have been repairing...

dunno what im going to do with it, cause once it goes if it does before this summer it will give me a legitimate excuse to start the 2jz project. thats what I've been waiting for.
