I have removed the carpet before and laid it out in my driveway, spray some simple green or laundry detergent and hit it with the power washer. I threw it up over my fence for a few days to let it dry out in the sun, both sides. It is a pain removing the seats and console but well worth it in...
I have experienced the oil pressure sensor leaking, it is right behind and above the oil filter. Also the valve cover gaskets and grommets are notorious for drying out and cracking. Always start at the top when looking for oil leaks!
LOL, it's not an alteration, it's a dropped valve seat. The engine must have overheated at some point, causing the aluminum head to expand. This causes the valve seats to drop out. You will definitely need to pull the head and take to a machine shop.
Cloyes and Melling are the best, but I have purchased the kit from Ebay when money was scarce! I have done several in this manner and haven't had any issues. Mitzumo Auto and others. Example...
Sorry to hear about your bad luck. You can always get a junkyard engine and rebuild it. Be careful what year you get as the heads change a little bit. I have had luck finding Liberty's on Craigslist, Facebook, junkyards and even city or police auctions. Best of luck!
I have used both methods but like the graphite gaskets best. DO NOT USE COPPER COAT with graphite! I made that mistake too and had oil leaks from the heads. The copper coat does not mesh with the graphite. I also recommend having the heads worked at a machine shop just to be sure they are even...
In my past experiences, the water usually leaks in when you pull the head anyway. Be sure to check the heads over very closely. I have seen little chunks come off the lifter casing or even the valve keepers when it drops a valve. Check the cylinder walls as well to ensure a chuck didn't bust off...
I have seen a lot of No Bus discussion on this site but nothing that seems to help me figure this one out!
I have changed the catalytic converter and went thru several 02 sensors on bank 2 sensor 2. The light stays off for a while, but comes back on with the same code. I finally tried a Snap-on...
