I blew the headgasket on my 85.... it lasted 236,000 miles!!!
I started to tear into it this weekend and now the head is at the machine shop getting a valve job.

head and intake manifold is off:


engine bay:


I ordered a new water pump and oil pump because it will be easy to replace now.

making progress

got the parts and head on thursday... slowly making progress.
I adjusted the valves cold: .007 intake, .011 exhaust... it took me almost an hour to get them right!

Hope to have it running and tuned by Friday night.

With the new head job, I think i will run Mobil 1 synthetic.
