My tensioner broke so i want to pull the heads to see how much damage has been done ...does anyone know if theres a write up on this or where i can download a service manual ....thanks

 

the service manual is available in the first link in the first sticky on the B5 subforum. you should read the stickies before anything else on the forum.

 

and make sure you have a lot of beer lol

 

lol..im such a douche i found that along time ago and forgot where ...anyways heres my pics of my progress

just starting...

radiator core removed

no more timing belt ...

now that i got the intake manifold off i really wish i had 3gs for a supercharger


well from what i can see my intake valves dont look bent ..hopefully have heads off tonight or tomorrow

 

you should do a writeup. good progress. isn't it cold where you live. you can barely stand outside in bing

 

its not to bad in so cal ...im taking a million pictures so maybe i do a write up combining the manual and actual pictures when im finished ....now i'm stuck tho i need that timing gear bar so its on hold till i buy that


ohhh im also talking with this guy at www.maxbore.com about boring out my throttle body ...pes told me the supercharger utilizes stock tb and they dont expect any gains achieved but wtf $135 and we'll know ....plus i dont see bored tb on anyones sig so itll be something unique

 

nice ^^^
i agree you should do a write-up

 

man i havent worked on my ride since jan. thats sad especially since i just found out i didn't bend one valve ...so i guess it is possible to snap a timing belt and not **** your heads ...when it snapped i was doing like 80 or 90 on the freeway but motor was at idle cuz of upcoming traffic so maybe cuz it was at idle i dunno but ill take it ..heres some more pics of my progress and i will do a write up if i can put her back together and start it

heres w/ cam gears removed ..that was one special tool that delayed me .


passenger side head removed


drivers side

 

good deal on the valves. did you scape up the cash for a s/c?

 

how did you not bend valves on the drivers side head? those impact marks on the cylinders are pretty deep, i cant imagine how the valves that hit would still be good. make sure to take some 300 or so grit sand paper and sand down and rough spots on the pistons before throwing it all back together.
