Just scarfed up an 89 740 non-turbo from a friend who was going to junk "Violet". I paid $300 for her. I thought the head was damaged (and I have a spare head stored away,just as any good Brickboarder has...in my office,of course). Now my mechanic instructor buddy says the problem is detonation damage to the rings and pistons. Is this a fatal blow to the block? should I try to rebuild this B230 or get a junkyard one?
I have a set of standard rings, lower end gasket set, head gasket set, etc for an engine rebuild stored away. Is this a good time to use these?
Any advice appreciated.
Gracias,
el raidman.
