Hello.
Sorry for my bad english My 7afe have been smoking blue smoke for some time now.. and the smell of oil is present almost all time (USE ALOT OF OIL!)... It smokes never when idle, only when i give it some trotle. i have been thinking it may be the Valve seals, but it might be the piston rings aswell... what is your opinion? |

when you test the head for warpage you put a metal ruler across the face of the head(where it mates to the head-gasket and block) and then you try to squeeze a feeler gauge under it. If you can fit more than a 0.5 mm feeler under it needs to be resurfaced. So likewise when they say you don't need head bolts unless they are stretched, well they don't need to be very stretched you'd have to measure with a micrometer or something.
but you can get bolts on Rockauto.com for $15 to $20 and even if you have to pay that much more to have them shipped to where you are it shouldn't be too bad. they shouldn't cost $150 unless you're getting head Studs, which perform better but are expensive. -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.
