NFI on cost, but i'd go check it out before bidding, it could be a failed head gasket or something similar. |

I just had a quick look at the GV H25 manual and there's a lot of similarity with the J20 that I've just teared down. What's worth noting if like me you were use to working on other types of engines (holdens/fords/nissans/mitsu), getting the head off one of these engines is a complete PITA! Looks like its the same setup to with the lifters, making it completely impossible to change the valve stem seals with the head on like you can do with most other engines I've worked on. So even if it is just valve stem seals expect to be removing the engine, pulling timing cover, chains, sump, cams, heads, etc. Days of work. |
