If you are experiencing a hard starting condition where it cranks for a really long time before starting, we might have an inexpensive solution to correct this condition which involves replacing Orings in the fuel system. This is a much cheaper option than replacing components or injectors. Call us for details...
If you have had your vehicle diagnosed as a faulty head gasket, here is an option that improves the engine to insure against future failures. Instead of reinstalling the head bolts, we have used head studs made by ARP (Local to Roseville area). Head studs are used in most race applications and are becoming increasingly more popular as an upgrade when replacing head gaskets. We can usually install these studs and complete the job for less than it would cost you to have the standard repair done for at the local dealer.
Here is the head gasket removed. You can see where the gasket has failed next to my finger.
Here is a picture of the block with the head off before the stud installation.
Here is a view once the studs are installed. These just twist into the block.No drilling or machining is necessary to make this happen.
Just another view before reassembling.
