Fubar231 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Well i talked to the shop today and found out that the headgasket was replaced but was done wrong. Now they need to surface the head a good amount, do a full valve job, replace all the valves with longer ones, its ridicolous. Im pissed but i want it done right ya know.

Farkas Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 let me get this straight... you took it to a shop that proceeded to do the headgasket, but did it wrong? THEN, they're telling you they have to do it over, but do head work this time? sounds like you got a winner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he bought it with the h/g job done previously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fubar231 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I am lost on the longer valves?... I misunderstood him on the phone. He said the valves are going to be too long after the shaving, so he needs to shorten them. Sorry about the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about the confusion. What does that have to do with decking the head?? And for the VJ you should be able to buy thinner lifter bucket shims to get the correct lash.

Fubar231 Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 The heads being machined because there are grooves in the front and back of it. Pretty deep too. After being shaven down about half a mm or so, (not exactly sure what it is) the valve stems are going to be too long. And id rather have it done right then what would sound ghetto w/ thinner lifter shims. When i was there saturday they had all the lifters laid out and numbered and were going to make sure they were all correct monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
