He likes v8's or the evo models not the vr4 cordia he says engine the only
Thing good about it.
also only no more them 5 years old cars he hates working on old cars
he works for huge car dealer called motor group they have Mitsubishi,ford,Holden etc
they have a mechanic for each individual company he does Holden atm but only small jobs
studying evo's wants to be evo tech .
So I get no help from him.
Like Andrew said most young mechanics only remove and replace parts.
Cars do tell you what it needs done people have it easy these days.
Anyway change subject. I picked up 4g62 engine ,center console,a side mold,for 50 bucs.
But I spent 5 hours on fuel I think 40bucs that was 2.5 hours each way also
Had to beg my son for his v8 commodore cause it had towbar also had to higher
Trailer another 40 bucs got it from bunnings.
Got parts of a guy from this forum
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17922&p=167189&hilit=engine+for+sale#p167189his nice guy young family beautiful kids.
I wish I had more money to give him his got 3 cordias with huge plans I hope he stays on course
Doing up the cars cause keeping cars out in weather will do no one any favors.
I wish he would come talk on forum his very passionate about cordias.
Anyway about engine he gave me has no compression at all did wet test as well.
So decided to pull head off and what I found is the black carbon that's on top pistons
Was broken off in big chunks and I believe was keeping valves open so got me new head gasket and stem seals
Spent almost 80 bucs for parts im still waiting coming from USA .
Now im thinking maybe rings are bad as well so im thinking in putting old head gasket back on bolt head in test compression
Before I get the good stuff arrives.
Unless there's better way in checking?
