Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Well I have taken the valve covers off and found a broken upper timing chain and since it is an interference engine I think that means pistons slammed some valves. So I figure that some valves are bad. I dont know how to know unless I put on a new timing chain

Oh, man...

Yeah, that's fucked. There's definitely valve damage. There's possibly piston damage. The head is likely damaged from eating some metal.

If your pistons are clean enough, you can probably save it with the new head. It's gonna be hours worth of work.

Yeah I guess I am going to have to tear the head off and see what the pistons look like

Yeah... Yeah, you're gonna have to. It might not be worth saving.

Also, it sat... It sat all winter without so much as rotating. Your gas is bad, by the way. Well, probably not too bad - unless you use (and you probably do) MTBE or E-85 or something. Fuel lines are likely gummed up, along with your fuel filter.
