Hi guys,

I have had some overheating problems with my car, looks like it is a cracked head.

Anyone have any suggestions where I can purchase a new head from ?

I have looked at http://www.infinitipartsusa.com does any know if the heads for the 03 G35 will suite my 02 V35? Link Here

Thanks!

Wycky

Are you sure its a cracked head? These cars are a bitch to bleed when it comes to the cooling system as the V6 config block holds a lot of air in pockets. I had to bleed mine 5 or 6 times to stop air lock problems to the stage I thought the water pump was stuffed.

If it really is the head I have a spare here I may not need...

My mechanic says its the head, and he has bled it a quite few times.

About a year ago my car over heated due to the thermostat playing up and it split my radiator, I have replaced the thermostat and radiator but ever since the car would sometime over heat a little ( i didn't drive much had a company car at the time) but now I am driving it all the time it is getting much worse.

So I am assuming that when it overheated the first time the head cracked....

How much would you like for the head? send me a pm if you like, I am going to need 2 because we don't know which head is cracked.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
