Danny's 4door Calypso 24v car

[Danny]

Alright so I got the head torn off the car today. Headgasket isn't showing me where exactly it went bad but when I drained the oil the first thing to come out was actually coolant so I'm confident it's bad. No obvious signs of cracks in the head. Anyway, onto the pictures.

In the car:

Close up of gunk:

Cyl 3 and 4:



Cyl 5:



Cyl 6:



Whole engine:



Now obvious the damage to cyl 3 is was concerns me. My guess is the damage is from detonation but I'm not exactly an expert in this field. I didn't see any obvious damage to the valves on cyl 3 so I'm hoping this bottom end is still good. Looking for some insight, feel free to let me know what you think.

Yeah I think that's what the schrick cams from turner are. I don't want to go to crazy because I still have to pass smog in California. I was tempted to go with the TMS headers as well but I'm reading mixed reviews and I think I'll skip them.

Alright so let's take a poll here. Is it worth it to spend the extra cash to upgrade to a 3.5" HFM, 24lb injectors and schrick cams while the head is out? Or am I just throwing money away?

I think if you have the cash it would be a great idea to upgrade all at once. I also think that doing the "maf" and injectors in combination with the cams and a tune you will really pick up some good power.

I assume you'd be going 276/270?
