DIY Junkyard D16Y8 Head Build*Pics*
Why did my other thread get deleted?
Pulled this from the junk yard today, not many Y8's in there. This one had #2 rod go through the block, but under the valve cover it looked pretty good. But the valves and stuff I have some questions on.
Would you rebuild this head? What can you tell me from the pics? I was gonna pull another head, but i ran out of time, it had alot more varnish on it, and the odo said 190K and a blown head gasket, the head I pulled didnt have a ODO.
I wanna rebuild it on the side, I have a Y8 already, but 170K, and i dont have much room in my apt for a whole block, so I'll just do the top, and then find a Y7 or Y8 bottom and rebuild that later. Im new to this, and I wanna do it all myself. Slow methodical rebuild. Staying N/A for now. I wanna go super cheap, can i just clean them up? DIY 3 angle job, polish the exhaust side, get rid of some casting marks, maybe DIY shave the block.
What do you guys think?

Re: DIY Junkyard D16Y8 Head Build*Pics*
Day 2
So i took everything apart, and found some bad scoring on the crank and rocker assembly.. and a messed up retainer
What could have caused this? I will be ordering some new retainers, because I have to, but tomorrow, im gonna try my best attempt to fix these valve . Lightly buff them with a brass wheel and see how they come out. Maybe polish them too. The Crank i think im just gonna polish them for now, untill i read up more about it. Found some good videos on lapping, gonna do that if these valves are still good.
Tomorrow will be alot of buffing.
OUCH!
;(

Dude. The fumes from that in your apt have to be ridiculous. The scoring was likely caused by metal bits getting pumped through the motor, so something came apart and the motor kept running.
