I have a '99 gsr that came with a blown motor. It had been run without oil and is obviously now ruined. I dropped an ls in it that I got for cheap so I could drive it. Now i'm thinking about rebuilding the gsr motor.

The head is messed up from running w/o oil. The camshaft journals in the head are excessively worn. I'm wondering if there is a fix for this because the cam rides directly in the head, or if this head is just trash now.

Any ideas? I don't know anything about this, thanks!

 

If those cam journals are screwed, so is the rest of the head.. its gotta go bye bye.

 

can he use a bare gsr head with his caps...i have a gsr head that needs cam caps and internals...but no scratches...u can use your and i guess u would need a align hone with new caps..already has been resurface but machine shop lost all the parts...has rockers but no valvetrain or anyother parts...

 

If you are willing to use cibao2ner's head then you could do like he said. Basically use your hardware on his head. You'd have to take everything including cams so the machine shop to get a precise fit. I would suggest you price what the machine shop is gonna charge you first before you go that route. It might be more expensive than finding another used head.

 

yea...talk to machine shop 1st...differen prices...some charge as much as 250 for an align hone...even more

 

thanks for the info, I'll find a machine shop around here and see whats up.

 

bump for Dahlonega GA.

try McIntosh Performance in Cumming for a good and local machine shop, as i have had good luck with them in the past. not many (if any) in Dahlonega that do/have done a honda.

kms is on the south side of ATL, as well as a lot of shops out by Road Atlanta...

pm me if you need/want help.
