Nasty looking!

Here's a good way to remove valve stem seals easily:

The head cleaned up nice:

I may have some spare parts for sale, came with the head, and all are duplicates:

I am going to redo the head.......again. I created a decent workspace for myself this time.

Got tires today. The exhaust is pretty well non existant now, so it sounds like a motorcycle or something. but it moved under its own power. Yeah!!
:nfs :nfs :nfs


Pretty cool.
 I DONT really like the sound - I just drove it to town to get the tags, and I feel like I am going deaf. Also, the power is missing - even for a Geo. I could not maintain speed in any gear. I think I got the timing belt off a notch.

Got the parts to fix the exhaust now. I will make it out alive yet! :evillol

EDIT: Little update. I fixed the exhaust (mostly) and now am without a cat. That is where it rusted out, and I don't want to mess with a new one. No inspections in KY or OH.

So its quieter now, but now its super smokin' out the tailpipe. I mean clouds of smoke. And it stalls real easy, has no power at all. Ive got to check the timing belt, and see if I got off a tooth, or even two.

What else could be wrong? I need some input from our techie members ^o)
