Long weekend, Car was running good. Alternator Died leaving my girlfriend and i to push the car home on our way back from the auto parts store. New alternator put in, new plugs put in TWICE, new oil filter, and got my exhaust put up.

Well Saturday night we got the car out and i took 00galantguy for a rid in it just some 60/80 pulls, I've got a decent sd tabled on it now that i made its not perfect but is by far better then what i had before. Did a couple 3/4th gear pulls 10lbs of boost. Turn around and do one last pull, POOOF a big cloud of smoke from behind the car! Thinking that i blew the engine i drive it nice home and pull it into the garage.

Had plans Saturday night so i just parked it and was going to work on it in the am. Well Sunday came and my already annoyed girlfriend was going to be more mad if i went out there all day again for the 5th day in a row working one the car. So i decided to spend time with here instead.

Monday pulled the car apart, thinking that the head lifted or something bad happened pulled the head off and noticed NOTHING WRONG! I had another head gasket laying around, Got some new head bolts copper sprayed the head gasket and put it all back together. Got to reading online and found out that you have to have a check valve before the PCV, so got to work yesterday and had the maintenance guy find me one. It should be here tomorrow.

Was working really had pulling it apart and putting it all back together i didn't really take pics of the car i just wanted to get it back in running condition asap.

But i did do a small project today,

this is what my valve cover looked like i tried to match the color to my ksports but, meh i wasn't really feeling how it looked.

Took it to work with me today sand blasted it and sprayed a metal flake silver base after some primer.

I missed how the red looked under the hood so i re sprayed it mitsu red with the letters masked off the silver would outline all the letters.

This is how it looks on the car, with my cf cover. I got one more thing im going to do to a different valve cover too, which will be a fun project. Going to do one for Voodoo and myself, probably do his next week.

If you are ever thinking of sandblasting a valve cover be ready to do a TON of cleaning, we have air hoses at work and getting the sand out off all the valley's took a really long time even with a high pressure acetone bath it still was a pain.

You have the worst luck with that car...... I love my galant but i think i would have given up by now LOL

**mko** · 06-02-2011, 05:02 PM

your engine didnt blow...lol. your high throttle tune sucks. either flooded the engine or blew the spark.

do you have a boost controller?
