alright so some of you may have heard I recently picked up an 88 626 turbo and couldnt get it to start forever well I finally got it started and came to realize the car had a blown headgasket so I began to get everything from new head gasket, t belt, oil water pumps the works. I finally got the head off today and she had quite a bit of carbon build up that i slowly got taken care of lol but I was wondering if anybody here knew of any shops in the springs i could take the head to make sure there arent any cracks? or things wrong?

this all took about a day of good solid work so hopefully when I get it back from the shop I can have it back together for this cruze coming up:D

make sure you go with an oem or felpro head gasket. and you should probably loc tite the head bolts when you get them back in. i blew 2 headgaskets on the f2 on great tunes....

I got a felpro one so we shall see and thanks for the advice I will do that the head stud closest to the water pump was like coated in nasty black like grease but thats also where the headgasket looked the worst so im hoping its not like a cracked block. I had the head inspected and was givin the thumbs up to bolt it all back togerther:D
