Re: Project re-ring it!

that looks pretty. you mean you don't like low compression and burning oil? oh, that familiar smell...

Re: Project re-ring it!

as long as the head is off, you may as well put the flat faced in it. get em ground and seated, you'll be good to go

Re: Project re-ring it!

looks like the rings and guides need some attention

Re: Project re-ring it!

decided to work on the valves instead of removing the pistons for today. this way I can get the head to the machine shop quicker

I took out all the valves and sandblasted them. believe it or not these are the same valves. turned out nice I think

Re: Project re-ring it!

ok overdue for an update

I took the head into the machine shop to have the valve guides checked, reassemble, and resurface the head





replaced all the rings

old piston rings and rod bearings


I've been doing a ton of engine bay prep before I reinstall everything. lots of cleaning, replaced a few vacuum lines, cleaned the injectors, and powder coating a ton of stuff

timing cover


oil pan


the intake manifold was so dirty inside I couldnt really clean it. way too much oil inside to powder coat right now, it would of started on fire I think so I sent it off to be hot tanked, along with a couple other parts while im at it. (its taking forever cleaning everything myself)

Re: Project re-ring it!

thanks, I'm hoping this will be one of the better stock rebuilds out there

I have another car (turbo z24) I've been working on for 7 years, or else I would be modding the saturn. but I cant afford to do both

Re: Project re-ring it!

Excellent work! Much respect for a guy who does immaculate work and pays attention to detail. Most impressive. Keep it up and I'm looking forward to updates.

Re: Project re-ring it!

Very good work! You may want to check the roundness on the cylinders though seeing as you seemed to be burning quite a bit of oil. Can't wait to see you get it back together and clean the whole bay up.

Any more info on the cavi?

Re: Project re-ring it!

I am a dumb ass. That's what I get for assuming.

Re: Project re-ring it!

lol, you guys mean lumi? I think he had a typo, and meant Z34. That's a 3.4 from a lumina Z34. Unless he did a crazy motor swap.... Because the cavi didn't come with a 3.4.

I just assumed he had swapped it.

[scott0999]

Re: Project re-ring it!

the cavi is swapped but its not a 3.4 from a Z34, those were DOHC. the 3400 is from a 01 grand am
