Be wary of what parts you put in your engine when servicing or overhauling. This was an unfortunate and unnecessary repair all because of some cheap questionable parts sourced from the internet.
Sir what can you say about using brand new aftermarket 2e cylinder head, like from china or korean made? Is there any problem or mismatch if I still use the same/original internal parts? Thanks
I would replace, these bolts are torque to yield and will stretch resulting in less clamp force when re-using. They are cheap enough, they were a similar price to the head gasket itself in my case
Yeah bruhh we got the same problem past few days. May head gasket blown up. Same cylinder 1 and 2 i got rough idle. So i decide to bring in mechanic so they tried to compression test. And i already lapped the valve and replace the valve seal bruh
Not quite as good as I was hoping for. They do have some white crusty ash deposits on the insulator and around the ground electrode etc which is a sign of burning oil. A good plug has a milky coffee colored insulator and minimal ash/carbon deposits built up
Its quite easy. To completely drain the coolant from these engines, there is a drain plug just to the right of the oil filter tucked up behind the exhaust manifold. Remove this, drain the radiator with the heater control on hot, flush if necessary and replace with a quality coolant
