Hi, my blown head gasket caused my car to overheat, and now my head is warped. What do I do now?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

 

take it to a machine shop and have them mill it down to were its flat again, then get a new headgasket, and then reinstall

 

i have the same prob .. any idea on ~ prices to have the surface milled ?

 

just call different machine shops, every place charges different prices

 

**** it, just buy a used head with low miles
especially if its a d series you can find one for cheap
perfect time for a minime

 

usu a machine shop will charge 50-75 to shave a few thousanths off a head. .040 is about the most you would want to go.

 

Where would I find another head for a B16a?

it will be a lot cheaper and easier just to go mill the head down.

 

i have a "vx" head w/ gaskets ... motor is d15 outta a 91 lx. is this a straight bolt on ?? or will i have distributor problems ? i know i need to do the mpi conversion correct ?

yes you will have to do mpfi, and also the vx motor is also obd1 not odb0 like our cars are, im sure you can modify a 1.6 liter obd0 dizzy to work with the vx head but then you have to worry about the obd1 injectors and ****. again more of a pain in the *** if you want to keep your 1.5 stock

 

ewww, doesn't sound like fun .... i was just looking at options of getting the sedan running before the b16 swap happens.
