Compression: ~5-10psi on all 4
Leak down: 95%

Looks like it is valves like I was told before I bought the motor. When I have time, I will pull the head and asses the damage.

I did some half-assed polishing of one of my exhaust pipes today while I had it off.

dumb question but could you spray a clear coat over it so it stays cleaner or would it just burn off?

**Nachtmensch** · Subject: Re: I drive a girly car November 17th 2009, 11:13 pm

why? it just needs to be wiped down if it is dirty, like any stainless.

finally got the head off (after obtaining the correct, 12mm triple square bit)

Block looks pretty good. You can see the MMC coating (all aluminum cylinder walls) which is supposed to strengthen the walls and provide a low friction coating

Yup, needs new valves.

I pulled off the oil pan, and was greeted by part of the girdle that came with it. It was a small corner that was by the oil pump. I'll have it welded back on by my coworker.

Oil that was in there was all milkshake'd. So I think this motor suffered from a BHG... or something. Could be cause for the leakage as well as all the coolant everywhere. I didn't have time to pull the girdle/rod caps off to check the bearings.

But, I think at this point I will be doing a full build. I'd hate to do all the work to the head, just to have the bottom end fail. It would also give me peace of mind.

Sorry no pics. I can snap some next week.
