Default What do you do when you break on of these?



Yeah, so I'm taking my cams out and what's this? Oh, it's a nice broken cam cap. I might be mistaken, but doesn't that mean the head is garbage? If I were to get a new set I would have to align bore it and ----? Meaning I would have to spend more than the head is worth to fix it? Correct me if I'm wrong here.

Hey Julio, you want a ZC head? I give you good deal. Fie dolla!

Ouch I've never seen one snap like that. I accidentally overtorqued one of the bolts that hold those in, and snapped it on my buddy's motor. Whoops

Yeah, about that, my boss has me setup in a suite at the Avi Resort this weekend. I'm going to lose all kinds of money.

That's not the point. :P This motor has pissed me off enough. I can't wait to get my SOHC in. Ah, the simple life.

mmm
---- that i'd just go to the junkyard and yank that cap off of a 88-89 integra and if it fits...run that ----...

there isn't bearings on the cams... so it shouldn't matter...

---- just buy a new one and call it a day

The closest junkyard is about 200 miles away.

I'm sick of this motor anyways. I'm done with it. I have yet to take the bottom end apart and see what's worng there. I can't wait....
