I would say the port shape and casting look worse on yours, but mine are offset severely to the right like what is shown in your picture also. The stock heads are a dream compared to these, which is...
They don't look too horrible other than the small size and the fact that the intake ports are very much offset to the passenger side of the head. I think some of them have more than 1/16" of the...
Mine says 10, or perhaps 01 where the date usually is.
I inspected the head today and the intake bolts were barely in there on the driver's side. I think it was leaking a little oil out of there,...
Well, off it comes. The oil was still leaking from above the turbo and I know I can't get to those without pulling the head. As I can't stand the idea of putting a head which flows worse than stock...
I had some minor problems with the valve seals, but they've stayed in place once I replaced them. I guess it's been a while since I've checked that though.
I have the old Great Lakes Chapter club car head. I might throw that on there. It will be way more work, but I can't stand the thought of worse than stock. If I can't solve this problem by pulling...
Yikes. Worse flowing than a stock head? That's not good at all. Actually, that's horrific.
I'll look out there in the next day or two and see what can be seen.
Well, hopefully mine is one of the good ones. I had never heard anything good about them when guys were first coming across them. I seem to recall some machining problems where the VC bolts up...
That's good to hear. To be fair, this might not be a problem with the head, and I think I have about 25K on the car since I bought it with the head already installed. At this point I think it has...
Thanks Todd. It looks like it is coming mainly from the area of #1 and #2. I'm half tempted to just pull the intake bolts one at a time and put sealant on those. It looks like I could reach them...
Those intake bolt holes are what I'm referring to. It's not like the oil is squirting out, but it's coming out at a pretty good drip. Probably a couple drops every few seconds or more. This problem...
Are these worthless, or can they be decent for a daily driver? I noticed when I rebuilt the turbo on my Lancer that the head must be of Chinese origin. Do the bolts for the intake go into the oil...
