Title: Stupid rear most exaust stud...
Post by: wrangler387 on November 13, 2006, 09:14:59 PM: Well the rear most exhaust stud on my 2.5L broke inside the head... so i guess i'm going to be rebuilding my spare head instead of pulling off my current head to remove the stud. Therefore, i'm going to be doing a full rebuild along with a mild port job and then take it somewhere for a basic valve-job. So yet another delay in my efforts to boost the bastard :cry: . My question is... where is the best place to buy rebuild parts for the head? I'm planning to tackle this after i complete the transmission/transfercase replacements i'm doing.

For parts -
I'm a Summit fan. BTW - If you get there credit card and spend $500 you get 360 days to pay it off interest free.

Mine makes noise when the engine is started but in 2-3 minutes the noise stops and I can no longer feel the air leaking under the hood. Any idea how long it will be until the leak gets worse?

Post by: wrangler387 on November 14, 2006, 03:43:53 PM: I didn't hear a leak at all, and visually there is only minor sud on around that part of the gasket... But once i turbo it, that leak will most likely get worse and slow down my spool-time. I'm not sure how long till the leak beings to worsen, it may not.

I'll try summit and jegs, thanks for the info on the credit card thing too. :)
