the Buick Breakdown
Hey you guys this weekend is round 1 of the ripping apart of the Buick and thought I would let you guys know what the plans are....
new bearings oil pan gasket oil pump rear main seal head gaskets timing chain set head bolts 2800 stall speed torque converter driver's side motor mount This is assuming everything looks good when we rip it apart if the cam or cylinder walls look suspy the plan could get revamped considerably...am hoping it doesn't come to that though. Should take 2 weekends one apart and one back together is the plan as of now. I'll let you guys know how it comes along but should be a very busy 2 weekends but I think I'm going to learn an invaluable amount of information working alongside Neal. Hopefully I'll have it all back together to hit the track and lay down some decent #'s. |
Good luck. Take pictures. I would HIGHLY recommend new rings if you're going to have it this far apart and push ever higher boost. To leave in the old stock rings seems like asking for trouble to me. :huh:

And run a thicker head gasket to drop your compression down so you can X that alcohol system and run as much boost as you want! You should be able to drop it a full point with just a thicker head gasket. 91 is all your car should need. Run a Cometic head gasket! If you don't I'm going to laugh at you when you blow another one. |

Neal posed the piston rings idea to me like this...if it needs rings its cuz the cylinder walls are fucked...if they are than we might as well re-build the whole motor. He says upon inspection he should know if they are good or not and if they are it should be fine. He's never had a ring problem..Morgan's car has 210k with no problems.... Neal knows his shite so I'm going with him on this one...
