Earl Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 tj he is refering to his vw friends Hahahaha. Very true=) I was very successful yesterday. It came off without any issues. The headgasket is still on in that picture. I checked over it and cannot find any blowouts.Every pistons does look like this though. I'm not sure why there is so much carbon buildup. The car ran excellent before I parked it.The head looks excellent. It definitely looks like it only has 20,000 miles or so on it. Should I still get it resurfaced? I can wipe it clean and it'd look brand new.That was my goal for yesterday so I left the shop. On a side note, I made this badass crossbow at work yesterday. Hopefully the subframe parts will be all done and painted Saturday so that I can assemble them=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 A head can warp in a fraction of a second under the right conditions. No matter what the mileage is, I would at least have the head checked for flatness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 If I can get a straight edge and feeler gauges I'll check it. Otherwise I can have it checked for free. Hopefully it is perfectly fine. I might have the valve seals done since it is so cheap=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Absolutely nothing got done today besides grabbing my rear subframe parts from jakes shop. One of my all reds somehow got hit sitting in my living room and is giving me a hard time trying to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I also was told that my tire sizes won't stretch much. 205/40 on a 9.5: 215/40 on a 10: Really? o_0 Sure as hell looks like a stretch to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REKIII Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I get why you are doing it, I still don't like stretch. How does the bead stay seated? What happens when you corner hard? Not being a jerk, it really doesn't make sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 There is a chance that the bead could come unseated from a big pothole. I definitely need to avoid those because I do not want to bend lips. Hard corners have never been an issue in the past. You just need to keep them properly inflated and then there usually is no issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
