I was headed to canton fire house so i could drive this we had a huge fire bulldog pallet company was there most the night


When the motor started acting up and loosing powed turned out i did this


Broke a chunk of of my exaust valve i did a compression cheak and found 0 psi in this cilinder so i tore down the motor and found this looks like ill have to order new heads come next pay day. I might as well replace both sides while i have it torn this far down.

 

wow that sucks, did it hit the piston or did it just decide to break apart like that?

 

excuse me while i wipe the gizz off my computer screen.....that fire truck is needless to say AWSOME!!

 

 

i didnt want to hear that

 

Except for the color.

Just kidding Earl. If your going to replace them you going to go with any performace style heads or just plain factory heads.

 

Thank you that truck is my baby and real fire trucks are yellow. Im proud to be the one running her

that was me pumping at the nelson house fire in salem For perspective on truck size im 6'2" tall

Luckly it was the exaust valve and it is some wear in my cat i guess no damage to the lower end so im going to replace both heads while i have it this far apart as soon as i get the 300+ dollors

 

What about the head is damaged? Can't you just replace the valves? That'd be a lot cheaper!

 

im afraid that once i put the whole thing back togeter one of the others may give plus i broke every exaust manifold bolt off in it

 

4.0 and no you cant swap 4.0 and 2.9 heads also i need the 90-94 version of the heads

 

Good thing it was the exhaust valve. Did that just happen because of age, or do you think it was something else?

 

How in the heck did you break every exhaust manifold bolt off IN the head? Could you not break them loose with an impact wrench or something?

 

tryed heat oil and inpact after 3 i didnt care any more

 

how mutch you want
