[s-cars] RE: Did you fix your car?

[Walsh, Edward]

Hap,  thank you for taking the time to help.  That is not what I wanted to
hear, but I feared it was coming.....

I would appreciate it if you would call my wife to explain the need for the
referenced mods.  As a pilot, I am sure you could relay the need for
extensive, erm, "preventative maintenance!".  Surely your calming
explanation would prevent her from taking MY head off!!!

Ed, about to give head to the dealer, Walsh

I just talked to my turbo expert and according to him the turbo is not a
very
likely culprit. The only way it could be the turbo is if the water in the
turbo froze and cracked the case. The plumbing of the water lines doesn't
allow this sort of failure unless its what I just descibed. The most likely
candidate would be the head gasket. And while the head is off anyway, you
might want to port match the IM and EM, add the RS2 exhaust cam with
Bilstein
lifters, debated at great length would be porting/extrude honing of the head

with particular care to the area around the valves and extrude honing of the

manifolds, steel head gasket, put the head through an annealing process to
strengthen it, and last but not least a head studding kit and manifold
fasteners from ARP Raceware. I will tell your wife for you that these are
all
prescribed preventive maintenance items that any prudent s-car owner would
accomplish while the head's off anyway;-)

Hap, keeping his head attached in Evergreen, Maguire
