ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    $680?! Fuck that man, just swap it. You might as well get a new engine if you're going to pay that much for just a headgasket. Seriously my man, you got to get the old tired motor out, and replace it with something fresh-er if you are going to pay that much for something as small as a headgasket.

        I payed $120 for my new transmission, and I payed $390 for my engine.

        Now, even though I only payed $390 for my new engine, I also bought $400 worth of parts to "refresh" the engine. By refresh I mean new timing belt/water pump procedure, distributor cap and rotor, wires, plugs, vacuum lines, coolant and heater hoses, all external seals, etc.

        I played it smart. Most people do not take the time or spend the money to do these things when they get a new motor, when in reality they should. Think about it, your "used" engine in which you don't know the exact mileage, has been sitting, bone dry, in a dirty warehouse, for who knows how long, then it's shipped to you, bone dry again, getting hot/cold as temperatures fluctuate, until it reaches you, and who knows what happens to the engine during the shipping process. This all has an effect on the condition of the motor.

        Something to think about.
