Jereme6655 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I pulled the head, before I read your post hercalmighty, but 3 of my studs came with my bolts. I'm gonna go get a good set of cometic gaskets and 3 new studs from the shop tomorrow. I just put new plugs in 2 hours ago. Pistons and cylinders look good, and the rings are still expanding. When the top end was done, the cylinders were bored and honed, by a professional, with new pistons and rings and gaskets. I think it was my headgasket. My question.......your post says you pulled the head. But it doesn't say you pulled the jugs......so how do you know the pistons are still in good shape? Hell you could have broken a skirt off and cant see it. (doubtful cause it would have sounded like hell if it didn't lock up) But my biggest question is how do you know your rings are still expanding? Throw up some pictures of what your pistons/jugs look like and let us see so that we can have a look at what your talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubinzkid Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Alrighty, I work the late shift till tonight, but I've got work off tomorrow, so I'll post pictures then. There was no coolant in the cylinders. But the gasket that was on was very thin and flimsy. Im ordering a new cometic gasket set today. And im just running the stock head.
