Author Topic: HELP Head Gasket Swap for pay (Read 912 times)

Bennji Favelle · « **on:** March 08, 2013, 10:39:04 am »

I bought a new head gasket, and need someone to install it ASAP.
I am selling my other car on the 15th, so I would love it if this could get done before then.

I have Gasket, Head Studs, and I also want to do Cams and Injectors while its all apart.
I also have a new timing belt kit. And a friend who will plane the head at his shop.
I just need someone who can do this work before the 15th.
I have been told it is about a 12 hour job for all of the stuff.
And I am willing to spread it out over 2 days.
I can pay up to $400 for someones time and knowledge.

The car is still driveable so I can get it to wherever it needs to be done.
But I need it done in the next week.

Text me for fastest response.
Thanks,
604-761-2848

Does your engine still have a balance shaft?

Bennji Favelle · « **Reply #2 on:** March 08, 2013, 03:12:17 pm »

I would assume yes.
Car was stock when I bought it.
I got intake and exhaust, as well as front and rear STB.
Car now has 113,xxx KM on it.

do you have something to tune with? afc/link/aem ems etc?

will need that to control larger injectors.

Brett Haviland....looks like he's almost done with his turbo colt project.

where abouts do you live? i do have a little bit of time on my hands now...

I'd love to help you out too, but I'm not able to until after the 15th. Sorry.

Hey Bret, Thanks for the offer, but Phil is doing it . . . (forgot last name)
however he looked at the injectors, and they are a bit big for no tuning for a while, so he is leaving those out until I decide to tune.

At which point I will be needing more help.
I am not mechanically inclined . . . at all, just a kid who likes to go fast.

I plan on doing a bigger turbo, and when I do that, injectors will go in, and full tune.
Would love to do this before the RG dyno day . . . but funds are a bit tight right now, so may not happen.
LoL

If a deal falls into my lap, I'll work with the banks to make it happen though.

I'd say go with ecmlink v3 for your model/year dsm.

ECMLink or their Lite version.

Hindsight being 20/20, I should have done this in the first place.

I am going with ECM link, ive read that its much more user friendly and the cost is conciderably lower for what you get

Bennji Favelle · « **Reply #11 on:** March 12, 2013, 08:20:00 am »

Anyone have it already?
Wanna tune it for me?

kevin derhouson · « **Reply #12 on:** March 12, 2013, 08:50:51 am »

its well worth it to get a good tune on a dyno, doesn't cost much and will save you in the long run.

i have ecmlink v3full and RG tunes for me
