WOW abrupt engine issues on new jasper.

Kuban · 06-17-2007, 05:30 PM

well if it happens to be the hg i dont plan on doing a rebuild. Ill simply get a mls head gasket with some arp bolts or studs. Since theres only 3k miles on this engine and its a mild blow, the head should still look brand new. Although ill send it out to get resurfaced. The block however should be ok. Well see when i pull the head. As to the fuel thing. I dont think it is fuel at all. I tuned this car specifically to run really rich. Reason being when i did end up turning up the boost. My fuel is there to compensate. I never retorqed the hg and i was running 12-14 psi out of a .57 trim ct-26, thats why my hg blew. I just hope it last till the cash is there to do this tear down.

Btw i hate hacks, where can u get one of those block resurfacing tools you were speaking of? The big ass heavy thing you turn on top of the block?

I borrowed it from one of my boys from this site.

They cost like $400 but I don't know where he got it.

Kuban · 06-18-2007, 08:53 AM

see if you can maybe get in touch with him, id like to talk to him.

Well you see, he lives in my state, only about 30 minutes away. He brought it over and left it here for a couple months, then came and picked it back up.

Kuban · 06-18-2007, 06:04 PM

how heavy is it again? like 50lbs u said?

If not more. That thing is HEAVY.

Even if you borrowed one, you still need to source some lapping compound.

If I was faced with your situation, I would pull the block, strip it and send it to a quality machine shop and have them deck it. Then build the snot out of it, just like you listed all those parts. Yes, I know its easier said than done, and I know the cost involved, but thats what I will be doing if my 7M ever takes a dump.

Sorry I scrolled back.

Right but keep in mind. This is a head gasket blow on 3k mile engine. On top of that they dont use a toyota head gasket, they used some other company for the gasket kit. It says nascar on it i dont know. But i dont think the hg they use has the gouges in it that toyota's gasket does. So to be honest the block surface shouldnt be that scored. I really dont think sending it out is necessary. Ill have to look when i pull it. im not gonna rebuild this thing if theres no internal damage, because those parts are still under warrenty and i kinda wanna keep that warrenty just for a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
