Forrest Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 http://forums.hybridz.org/showpost.php?p=564394&postcount=14 Posting in case people are not paying attention to my updates in the other thread. I need to make a decision very quickly about whether or not to let the UPS guys take it for inspection, so I would really appreciate more experienced member's opinions. Thanks! -Forrest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave88SS Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 if there's no kink in the metal, I don't see a problem. It will flatten out when you bolt on the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonsZ Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Head gaskets are cheap and easy to find, I'd save myself a second teardown and just get a known good one. AND REPLACE YOUR HEAD BOLTS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 What's wrong with the one that you got on L26. lol Seriously, I don't think it's critically injured as long as the block and the head is prepped good. Mirror finish is the best way to get the metal HG to seal properly. I had a Cometic leaking before, never problem with HKS and Nismo unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 I have new ARP studs to use, don't worry Brandon. I just talked to a friend of mine who saw it in person. It's his opinion that the bends are too bad to risk it. I think he's right, why risk it even I lose every cent I spent, if the whole rest of the engine is at risk as well. I'm sending it back... Yo - I am not replacing the L2"7" gasket, that engine is fine. But I have 2 Z's, you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
