My buddy has a 94 GSR, he was having some noise out of the head so he purchased a replacement GSR head. Upon him bringing it home I looked at it and noticed that it was from an LS/Vtec. The plug on the head has been inserted and ground down. My question is, can he use this head on his GSR block by simply runing the external oil line like a regular LSV or will he have an issue with it due to the block being a GSR rather then an LS

take out the plug, if its welded use a drill and a easy out to take it out.

Thats what I told him to do, the only issue is you can't see the plug at all. From the look of things whoever had the head previously took a grinder to it...

They probably had it welded and machined. To use the external oil line, you will have to plug the hole in the block as well, and use an ls head gasket.

please read before you give out false information...YOU DO NOT USE AN LS HEAD GASKET when mating a gsr head to a gsr block holy **** what is the world coming to

Not to mention I stated that only 1 area of the head looks to be ground down. The rest of the head is dull aluminum looking while 1 spot is nice and shiny. He took the head to a machine shop today they inspected it and said the head is flush, they told him that he could drill the hole out as they didnt want to attempt it.

mike703

that tells you something right there. the machine shop doesnt want to attempt it because they are scared that they will **** it up and owe you a head. if i were you i would leave it alone and run the gsr as if it were an lsvtec with a sandwich plate and external oil line. good luck man.

guy_from_nerk

Haha it isn't my head so I'm definitley not touching it

mike703

thats what im talking about!!!

machine it out the only way, if you want to run it on a gsr again just measure the bore from a spare head and let the machinist know

DirtyDA9

Your a ****ing idiot, obviously you need to read, the gsr head has already been plugged for LSVTEC, and he asked about using an external oil line. God you're dipshit.

DirtyDA9

What did you end up doing?

guy_from_nerk

I didnt end up doing a damn thing, its not my head as I stated in the original post lol. Im not sure what my buddy is going to do, if I were him I would try sellin the head and getting one thats not haggard up

DirtyDA9

That might be his best bet. Or like I stated before, run the external oil line, plug the oil galley in the block, and use an LS head gasket.

mike703

^^^^please just stfu and shoot yourself in the face. you DO NOT USE AN LS HEADGASKET. holy ****.

DirtyDA9

You are seriously a fcking retard. Do you not see the part where it says the head is already plugged for LSVTEC!? That means if he doesn't plug the hole in the block it will leak! And if he does plug it and uses a GSR head gasket theres going to be an open hole in the head gasket. Stop posting you fcking retard.

mike703

so theres a hole in the gasket IT WILL STILL SEAL JUST FINE...what the hell is your point.

DirtyDA9

My point is you are an idiot and don't know what you are talking about, you should go learn something and actually do work on a car, then maybe you can post when you know what you are talking about. Until then, peace.

mike703

Really when i START working on cars huh. coming from a guy who is currently in the process of a build with a goal of 230hp with stock gsr cams. get the hell out of here.

DirtyDA9

Lol yet again you know nothing. I have more automotive knowlage in my left ******** than you can hold a candle to. I'm not gonna waste my time with your stupidity.

mike703

youre probably right i should just stick to what i do best....

DirtyDA9

Rubbing yourself off? That's cool I guess.
