this is how i spent my christmas, and now no more oil burning

sorry they are so big but i cant make them smaller till i get back to tech.

parts laying around how they were takin out

cams and stuff

yeah, its a little dirty, ill get around to that later

cleaning up, getting ready for a new headgasket

torquing the IM back onto the head

putting the head back together, being careful to go in order

the end result

 

what's your plan on that beast??

 

Heh, notice any more power now that it seals well?

Now use Mobil 1 from now on

 

Nothing too major for atleast a little while, might upgrade to a type r rear sway bar sometime this semester when it gets a little warmer. I'm just excited to have a car thats not burning oil, so I prolly wont go doing anything fancy to it for a while.

 

Well, I've only been working in the 1k to 3.5k rpm range since the jobs been finished in an attempt to break in my motor and let the rings and everything seat properly. I haven't noticed much of a difference there, but im hoping that by the end of this week the break in will be over and I can open it up to find out.

Why do you suggest using Mobil 1 over other brands of oil?

 

Because mobil one has been proven (or any nice fully syn for that matter) to perform much better than any other oil out there. The reason I say use it now if you havent before is because now everything is new, and now is the time when you can begin using it and not have it leak through your rings etc.

 

Many synthetic companies suggest that you wait 'till you have around 10,000 miles on your car, so that the rings CAN properly seat!

Just a heads up!
