Re:What should i do?
well i think he was saying he originally misunderstood the guy that said his gasket blew because he had the head built and not the bottom end built. 2ndly i think hes going to take the motor apart have the block bored out? and then either he was saying hes gonna buy pistons and rods(heads in rods place on accident) or buy a new oem head gasket and do the work himself
some ----
either way goodluck man... 16psi is no problem on that dsm... what is a problem is that headwork that was done... i just have a feeling its fucked up
no offense

Re:What should i do?
yeah 88 got it right, but why do you think the head is messed up it has everything but cams?? the head is solid, the gasket blew at 140 and i knew something didnt feel right but i droped it and floored it and that is when it blew, but i am going to have the head and the block leveled, and bored 20 over. mabey with some new pistons. Sorry i couldnt type last night i was a little upset with this situation. But I appreciate the help. and i would like to know some more before i do anything at all

Re:What should i do?
If this was a Honda I would say go for it, but the DSM is a different story. This is a very difficult job for a professional, I would not recomend it for a beginner. The cam timing on the twin cam motor is very difficult to get right, the dealership has special tools to hold the cams in place that you may not have. I have replaced several heads on these motors over the years from broken timing belts. It's an all day job in a shop with a lift and air tools. I can't imagine what it would be like on the ground with hand tools. I am a ASE master tech with 15 years experience and a great set of tools, if someone offered me $400 to do this job in the back yard I would say NO!

Re:What should i do?
yeah i agree. all i am doing is taking the motor out and taking it to the machine shop. then putting it all back together in my car. Then i am going to take it to a shop to adjust the timing. I am not going to worry about the timing.
