casting number 10048651 2.8L/3.1L early 90s cylinder heads- i got pair of these heads from a 2.8L front wheel drive engine to put on the 3.1L in the 92 cutlass

but anyways, the 2.8L engine was outside int he rain for a few months which caused water to sit in the intake ports and welloneof the intake valves is stuck open pretty far and has grass and stuff in it, i have dried the heads out and off pretty good with compressed air and am thinking of taking two five gallon buckets full of diesel fueland soak the hell out of the heads

who has doen what in the past to clean up heads that have water damage ?

these are aluminum cast heads, so..

again, i get myself into the craziest deals/situations, this is just another one of about 1.5 million of them for this year alone, heh

thanks for anything

You're ruinating the ambience in here with all the tech stuff /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif. You've got to be talking straight nonsense and yahooism and real stories from the drunken yahoos.

There's only one thing that's 12" that can be talked about run these parts, and it ain't tailshafts...... /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif

hmm...

heh, well,,... then i have to say that i cannot comply with that since probably more than 95% of anything i post/talk about is always automotive related somehow or other,
my life revolves around vehicles and parts and mechaniclaly related subjects/issues cept for sleep and food and any other necessities,
basically if im not near, or in(like in engine compartment or in a cab, etc) or working on, or talking about vehicles and/or parts or anything mechanically related then soemthing is really, really wrong.. i take no time out for anything else in life, cuz well there is nothing else to do where i am at. unless i want to sit and watch cornfields and farmers all day,
therefore thanks to this one lifestyle that i have always known i cannot think of anything else to talk about except soem kind of vehicle related discussion, if it has nothing to do with vehicles then im just not interested.. at all, in which i suppose is probably why im still single and not living a more typical life that someone my age would be living, hmm..

not to come off as sounding like a 100% serious individual or anything, in which i target to not be and when i happen to not be doing anything mechanically related then im definitly not serious and am pretty goofy and/or crazy /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif you should see all the things i get called when i get on messengers, anything from loopy fruits to crazy to all kinds of other things /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif but when ive had tons of coffee like everyday during the winter months and am at the puter thatswhen im really crazy, well in person also, but well not many ppl are around in the winter, so... heh



dunno... /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

crazy huh ? or ?
 
oh, and i think maybe we need an off topic board for mechanically or electrically related subjects that really dont have anything to do with repairor service, or with GM trucks, and any that are not 67-up etc.

right ? or ?

hmm....

got no where else except in O/T to post half the posts i create on the forum, heh

now do i ?
