        <![CDATA[ Bad news, just had to have my car towed.  Looks like there is radiator fluid in the engine. Yuk.  It is sitting at the shop to be looked at tomorrow.  I really
wish I took a mechanics course.  Talked to a couple of people and it sounds like a head gasket is gone.  I understand that this means rebuilding my engine. 
Does this sound right?


If the car is only worth less than $5000 if it had a good engine.  What would it be worth with no engine?  I&#39;m looking at my options.  There is someone... ]]>

do the bottom end/rotating assembly only, since i didn&#39;t have the Tools to do all that. the 318/340 was a freinds engine and he had everything done, but

			<description><![CDATA[ i was not judging your abilities at all, i was only asking and making a light comment and suggestion as to, why even with this expertise you wont rebuild the
motor. Probably cause of scheduling conflicts, and time, hey. . . . maybe we can all get together and bring tools and help you out? ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I am quite sure Kevin is capable of assembling the engine but I did not see any machining equipment in his shop which is the critical part of any engine
rebuild. If you do not have access to a machine shop to perform the proper machining and only hone one cylinder and then move to the next one manually I do not
consider that to be a proper rebuild. I&#39;ve seen alot of back yard jobs over the years, they never last and honestly the machining is one of the most
critical factors in... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The MLS type gaskets are better than the stock type gaskets if you are planning to increase boost. In all my years of owning these cars (since 92) I have never
had a headgasket failure. Most of the cars I picked up with the failure were usually poorly maintained examples. Changing radiator fluid is key as it becomes
acidic overtime.
<br>
<br>
I would never use the stock style gaskets on the sc unless it is a bone stock rebuild. and do not but a remanufactured engine as they use cheap pistons.... ]]></description>

shure about doing a Short block.. I&#39;ll bolt the heads on, set up the valve train and the like.. but the bottom end still scares me a little :P Mind you if
i built the engine i want, it&#39;ll be like $6-8,000 in parts only, Never mind Machine work and assembly...

			<description><![CDATA[ Man you guys are paying a hell of a lot of money for a rebuild on engines. With my work schedule, i just do mine at home and it takes me, with head
porting/polishing/planing of the engine, and a necessary valve job, as well as boring out the cylinders just a tiny bit to get better compression. Good luck.

so far so good, that was three years ago and its still running fine. (except for that pesky boost leak)

That will help a lot.

2nd thing, drain the engine oil

3rd thing, replace oil filter

4th thing, add new oil and filter

5th thing run engine for a few minutes with the Rad drain OPEN, heck remove lower rad hose if you want

6th thing drain engine oil...

Do that and odds are you will not NEED a engine rebuild... depending on milage and general condition of engine (how it was treated)
