I gave up working on that piece of crap after 2 months of work. We tried to change the head gasket and stem seals and then put everything back together. it started once and then the timing got fked cause i put too much pressure on the bolt and it slided 2 teeth back. After that incident it wont start.
The front cylinders have compression but the back one doesnt. its driving me crazy
how much is a new cylinder head anyways?

KLDE from a junk yard would run you anywhere from $250-500 and just drop it in?. DONE!
My water pump on my K8 was done! it would leak all the time and that was enough for me to go KLZE it just wasn't worth the work haha.
