Joes BHG thread!

Isphius · 09-08-2006, 07:57 PM

My car smoked yesterday when starting, bad sign. Started using oil and coolant...another bad sign. Then last night, overheated, So i pulled over and left it cool off. Then i drove it home, It seemed fine. I checked the oil, And it smelled like burnt antifreeze....another bad sign. Now im worried lol. So this morning, I go to start it, pumps massive ammounts of coolant out, And its smoking out of the oil, So my final determination, BHG! lol. Which sucks because it has a brand new head. Previous owner reused the stock bolts...which i suspect is the problem. Pictures in a few minutes.

Intake pipes off, bolts loose, Ready to come off!

Pile of parts, Including my ebay blow off valve.

Vaccum metal lines off, Charcoal canister off, Spark plug wires out, 3000 pipe off, Throttle disconnected and unbolted

Bigger pile of parts

Valve covers and Several brackets off, Wiring harness(behind cam pulley cover) unplugged and moved

Some junk in the trunk...Ok bad joke

Thats all i did for today, I didnt think i would get that much off in the 2 hours I had before work. I need to pick up some sockets and extensions and such to get the rest apart. Next is the exhaust and upper intake manifolds. Does anyone have any tips for me so far? and if i may ask...what size are the head bolts? I didnt really look at em much. I had to clean up and leave right after i got the valve covers off.

I believe they are 8mm allen heads. It's either 8 or 10. But im 80% sure its an 8mm. You're gonna have to put some muscle into loosening them also. I'll know for sure on Sunday so if you dont know by then, just wait for my post, lol.

Isphius · 09-09-2006, 04:16 AM

Ok thanks. Ill have to go buy a socket then because im not doing that with an allen wrench haha.

burton51m · 09-09-2006, 04:30 AM

im sorry to hear that.

but i know a lot of bolts on the car are 10mm. so you might wanna make sure you have that socket too.

Well, im selling out. Giving my car to a friends dad who is a mechanic, and hes going to charge me to finish it. Someone stole all my fuckin tools. All i have is a few sockets (for stuff other than a supra), one extension, one ratchet, an adjustable wrench, a 10 and 12mm socket, a hammer, and thats it. They took a whole set of long and short metric sockets, my set of ratcheting wrenches, 2 crafstman ratchets (3/8s and 1/2 drive), a plier set, my sawzall, and whatever else i dont even remember i had or is gone, thats just the stuff I know about. Theres at least 300$ in tools missing out of my car. Fuckin great!!
