Headgasket go bye bye

[550]

Yeah my car is dead... this bastard engine is finally dead.
Now it is time to re-rebuild it, i just hope that shit head didn't ruin my head and block

Anyone got experience with this stuff?

[JVC]

I don't have a whole lot for you, you know the guys over on VolvoSpeed will help you out, but damn, that sucks, how'd it happen?

[550]

Funny thing is... most people on volvospeed don't know anything haha, but they sure can google

[JVC]

fact. but still, they're the best Googlers on the face of the planet.

HAHAHA!!!! That is sometimes true hehe... Nah, man if you ever need help let me know and I can tell you who can help you the best.

I have been around there far longer than I like to think, and I know most of the people who do or don't know their stuff.
The one guy who actually did a lot of stuff to his s80 (skywriter) from what I can tell knows his stuff pretty well. But considering I don't have nor want an s80 (sorry ) I figure I could be mistaken.

Who knows... maybe I'll buy a new car

your the one with the auto S70, grey?, and u sent the motor off the cali to be built, but the guy just fked it up?  how much u want for ur car when ur done?

[JVC]

Yeah, Skywriter knows his mods, but after talking to him, he buys all the stuff and has a guy install it for him it seems. He just buys OEM upgrades or stuff that is easy to install and has them do it. But at least he knows what he is doing to his car without doing some of the work himself.

LOL @ Jake!!!   

Mike, I don't plan on selling the car... it will most likely become a non-strict-daily driver.  Chances are I will buy one of the suburbans from my parents and I will drop a new engine in that and maybe lift it up a bit. Who knows though... :-/ Being with out a car just plain sucks.

umm what experience are u lookin for? on the eclipse the headgasket blew. I was contemplating doing it myself and did TONS of research. Then realized i didn't have a couple of needed tools. Otherwise it seemed pretty simple.

I don't think it will be too bad, I think my biggest issue is going to be fixing the mistakes of the person who rebuilt it the first time.  He was a friend... but yeah not so much anymore. As in, I can't even find the guy.
