haven't made a thread yet for my piece of work e30. only made intro thread/other random bs threads....
time to get to work!
so about two months ago i bought an 86 zinno for 1k, i'm the third owner of the vehicle and it has just over 213k miles.
turns out the car has a blown head gasket, so my priorities are to do the HG and while i'm down in there replace the timing belt and the water pump, new thermostat and possibly a new rad. since i haven't a clue what made it blow in the first place.
i'm not mechanically savvy but i know how to turn a wrench and i'm damn good with lego's, i'm sure with a bentley manual, online information, and a mechanically savvy pal to help me with my problems, i'll be able to get the job done...
so far on my purchase list is:
HG+machine shop fees...
TB+ tensioner
WP
thermostat
torque wrench
head bolt set(lol is that what i would call it?)
used/possibly new rad.
anyone know what my total cost should estimate to for all of the parts listed above?
above are things i would need for the project,
but i would like to do an 885 head swap on to the 2.7 bottom end...
although i know nothing about the procedure/ other things that need to be tweaked to run that set up.
so this will be my project thread.
hopefully it will go well :P
