Nope, f**k an RB

New head time.

[Shoota_77]

What the fark happened there? Lot's of sealant there. Looks old and cruddy too.

[Ben C34]

That's melted gawket, not sealant. Shit dude really feel for you. I hope you can sort it easily.

Heads no good. Cam ate it up pretty good. 2jz or LS7 time.

know that feel.

when I spun bearings last, seized the crank, and exhaust cam.

looks like its done the same to you.

sorry about the bad news.

[vorse]

and i thought i was good at breaking cars unlucky man best of luck also my vote is for the LS7 plus a big turbo you know for the insanity factor

[luke gtr]

or 2 of the big ones.

and harry....

....I need them by tonight.

[ZT-R]

Yea I hear chan is running 3 spoon engines. lol

[ZT-R]

Probably gonna sell the car move on to bigger and better things all the while being more financially rewarding. 30grand in engines that yelid less than a cumulative milage of 14,000 is a bit absurd.

Meh, if that is all that happened, find a new cap. Have all the caps shaved 0.1-0.2mm, have it line bored, then re-shim and you are good to go. Obviously, find out why it happened too........Need a cap? I am in Georgia and I could send you one.......

That's the spirit! Presumably it's only cooked the bearing due to crap in the sytem from the first dramas. It is heartbreaking to have to do it all over again though.

[ZT-R]

Thats the only one that looks messed up, havent took out the intake cam. I dont really want to take the bottom end out and do all that shit again. but yea if you have a number 1 exhaust cap...

[ZT-R]

Correct me if im wrong but the cam has "wallowed" out the cam cap tower horizontally as well. so you would have excessive end play on the cam. Might be able to weld it and machine it back down but probably would be cheaper to report a head.

[ZT-R]

hmmm pistons look a little gummy for 34 miles.

[ZT-R]

They all look like this. Guess I might as well rebuild it all again while the head is getting fixed or scrapped.

Might be selling this misery and getting a 996 turbo, gonna go look at it monday. I could have 1200hp porsche by now.

[r32-25t]

Yes buy a 996 turbo will be more fun and reliable and I will be insanely jealous
