We'll find out tommorow. Replacing the valve is relatively cheap.

everyone has told me that number 4 valve screwed = something was dropped. but well have to wait and see

i dont remember anything being loose and altho we may be cowboy mechanics, we aint THAT cowboy

ahhh , youv'e lost me.

I said that if a bolt has gone in , there is nothing your mate will be able to do at your place unless he has valve spring compressor, seat refacing tool and a die grinder so will have to go to a specialist.

carbon deposit is common in the ehaust and blocking the cat... but not in the cylinder... :confused:

It's quite a big job. $400 does that include headgasket?

Once the head is off then it will go to a specialist, no point stuffing around with valves.

you wouldnt believe the quotes i got from workshops though. just for removing and reinstalling the head was $400

I actually thought that was pretty reasonable based on the decent shops charge $65ph these days and it would come with a warranty.

btw

Page ownage again . Hehehe

paul; nope thats purely labour. 7 hours on and off job done

parts are extra etc etc. someone here on the forums got speedworks to do his valve on his R32 and it cost him $1K

fark

Joe, sshh, keep quite. Rather keep quite and have people think your stupid, than open your mouth and remove all doubt:p

still mechanical work aint brain surgery, im sure we can unbolt things without too much trouble.

then for the hard stuff (headwork) take it to a specialist

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yeah, the labour cost isn't that bad, but by the time you add the parts it would get expensive.

arrgg.,.... I dotn care... I know I am stupid.

that's why I stick my arms in the cows butt

[GTS-t VSPEC]

If someone paid me I'd stick my hand up there too.

[Pva_Glue]

Engines can get carbon buildup , especially if they have a poor servicing history or are driven sedately.

Changing things can disturb the carbon or a sudden difference in the driving style can shift it.

Ever heard of the freeway tune.

* Sonny , my car won't idle and is running rough *

* no worries Gramps , give us ten minutes*

6K down the freeway in 2nd or third usually solves it.

* that will be $100 thankyou Gramps *

Yeah, a trained monkey. No it's not difficult, but they charge us $65 per hour to change oil aswell.
