    NORTHERN CALIFORNIA R3V PEEPS (generally sac/bay area)ish.

    Sup.
    i r teh rebuilding my m20 and i need teh helps possibly, never done very much engine work.



    what i'll be getting into:
    • timing belt.
    • thermostat.
    • head gasket.
    • intake mani gasket.
    • throttle body gasket.
    • exhause mani gasket.
    • water pump.
    • oil pan gasket.
    • spark plugz(lol)
    • brake pads.



    pretty sure that is all that's in my box of goodies i ordered.
    but i need some help with the more difficult things like the water pump timing belt and general gaskets off the block/head.


    i'm in Napa, who can lend a helping hand? we could BBQ and shiz, got a nice grill ;)

      ^----Don't forget patience! Gonna need a lot of that if this is your first time diving into an engine repair (maintenance). Take your time, stay organized, and while everything is off...clean it. I took my time with my repair (mainly because it took a few weeks for my head to get rebuilt/repaired at the machine shop). There are write-ups all over the net, just gotta look for them and follow them for the most part. If you aren't familiar with engines, then take pictures before you start, as you go, and use them for reference when you get stuck putting it all back together. Buy new head bolts
