So i finally pulled off the valve cover today and found this nugget of joy.

Also there wasn't even a gasket for the middle holes on there.

This would explain crazy oil leakage (in that hole atleast) and there being no thread for the screw, and the rubber plug someone put in it.

The piece that is snapped off isn't in there so that means i was sold the car like this. whoever put the rubber plug in knew this.

i dont know what to do now. i have to take the car off the road until i find a solution.

 

thats sucks just find a new head im shure some has one laying around

 

i have a head

 

apparently needs to be s14 head, and how much?

 

i have an s14 head as well

 

damn... im scared to take my VC off haha....



good luck man! im sure someone will hook you up with a deal

 

dont scrap it, jb it.

 

wow, dont you hate finding shit like that on a car? cause you know you didnt do it! its like a kick in the stomach..

 

it really is a bummer. especially for a KA that was "freshly rebuilt 5000 miles ago". how much do you want for the s14 head? also i have no idea what im doing when it comes to replacing the entire head so if anyone wants to help or has advice i would really appreciate it. thanks for the support.

oh and i can't jb weld anything because that piece wasn't in there.

 

my bad, thought you were talkin about s14 sr
