Blaze Regular Location: Brisbane Registered: December 2002	18RGU Rebuild..what's your advice?? Tue, 27 May 2003 05:01 Hi there, I have an 18RGU head number 11111-88250 with EFI fitted. Just installed and was going good until the cold weather started,(the car wouldn't). Thought it was the Cold start injection until I did a Compression test Cold. Not Good!! So I need to fix this. I don't want a monster drag car just a good reliable runabout. So what should I do. I know I need-- 1.New rings. 2. I have a set of standard pistons all ready so I'll use them. 3.head shave.(I take it the block needs a shave too??not sure) 4. timing chain while I'm taking it apart. What else should I look at. should i get new valves, and if so should I get the bigger ones for the EFI engine and alter the head to accommidate them. (is it worth it?). should i replace the valve springs? Can someone tell me of a place that I can get this stuff from(gaskets,rings,valves,timing chain) at a good price and a recomendation for getting the head work done.(In Brisbane) any other things I might have missed please let me know thanks [Updated on: Tue, 27 May 2003 05:04] [Report message to a moderator]
