I ran several events with a cracked top radiator tank and never overheated, it would stay cool at about a gallon low, wouldn't leak either! At least not until I decided to fill it up all the way.

Get feeling better dude, it's warming up so all kind of crap is going around.

[wetamup2k3g]

Exactly, get better Joe.

Marc, I had a couple embarrasing stop lights where the steam would start to vent, but I never had any temp problems. I never got above 210F according to my scantool IIRC, it was just barely into the 200's.

Damn Joe feel better man. Wow you guys are lucky haha

Ok so here my hypothesis on what really happen. One of the lfters on cly #4 exhaust side got rock hard. Kept the valve open that it added to much fuel into the system and the 02s saw to much richness and leaned out the injectors to maximum. It got so hot, it burned all the valve seats. Ate away material on the head and made it get so hot it started to over heat and popped out a frezzplug in the head. And over heated and lost compression in the head due to burnt valve seats.


Thats my answer.

I will still be going over this carefully and will be checking rad amd tstat.
New water pump (well semi new), T belt ext

This is what i found in the resivior tank

something tells me this is the original belt since 2003, same with the motor


since i had so much room for activities i install my rear motor mount with inserts


new felpro top end gasket kit i got from rock auto. 60$ shipped, compared to 120$ local









cleaned up the engine bay and block and started to install the head and intake.


this is the reluctor wheel, cam sens cylinder, what ever you want to call it
when using a 99-01 head and installing it on a 02-04 you need to switch this out or you will get a cam and crank code same goes if you use a 02-04 head on a 99-01
in short term use the correct cam sens thats the same yr as your car

99-01 cam sens, reluctor wheel(top)






02-04 cam sens, reluctor wheel(top)







both side by side




i do plan to go back and soder all my connections that i made, i left my power probe at the shop and wanted to fire up the car so this was a quit solution at the time.

the the outlander intake and evo TB i also had to rewire it by switching all three connections, real simple if you know anything about electircal.


here a video of it running, it sounds loud now but after it idleing for 45 min it quit it self down abit, now all i need todo is figure out my throttle cable do a oil change, finish the interior and do fix a few issuse with the a/c, put a few miles on the motor and trans and then the fun begins

all back together and running like a champ

good work man. Good thing you knew about the cam reluctor. I bought my G without knowing the head was replaced at some point. Had no idea why I popped that code. Eventually figured it out and it was a simple $30 fix.

Not alot of people now about it. I have a neighbor who is a master tech ask me why he was getting these codes on a 3g awhile back. He told me he did a head job, and i simply showed him. And he was mind blown, he chased it for 2day trying to figure it out. I laughed at him handed him a beer and said "now you know" cone back the next day and handed me 50$

[Black8GV6]

The goal is to be there with it and be turbo, i have everything ready. Just need to prep my old oil pan for oil return. Grind down the compressor housing so it wont hit the starter, and install it.

[finald8ta]

This is part of the kit. Its a -4 line. But i can run a -6 from my oil source to this line. Will this be fine?
