this settles it....ive sucked some water in my intake driving slow through this crazy monsoon we had the past 3 days. now ive got a crazy loud valve tap. im bout to start pricing a rebuild, but what would u guys suggest......1. to just get a new swap, 2. to rebuild my head, or just change the valves......any input will be greatly appreciated

 

id atleast tear it apart and rebuilt head, but give everything a good look over

 

swap another longblock, cause i hate having a low mileage head on a high mileage block on my car.

 

depends on how bad that tap is....obviously the harder and more frequent the tap is the more likely your going to want to swap...

 

Take it apart see what need to be rebuild.

 

x2 Before you start throwing money at swaps you may not need.

 

i agree take it apart

 

good not put a 1.8 in there and use your head after taking it to machine shop to give it the ok

 

tear apart to see what it actually is.
