rebuild ?, aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh Options

[treydawgs4g63T]

Ok, my talon is bone stock never seen more the 10 psi ( or whatever stock is ) and Im getting ready to change the head gasket. Im going to just order a .020 over rebuild kit from MACHV.com but have a ?. I have oil in my coolant, and one of the cylinders psi is lower than the others. 1-162 2-163 3-163 4-149 so i figured it is the headgasket. I dont really want to rebuild the motor since I know its never been beat on and I really wanna race on slopony or dsmday.

Should I just replace the headgasket, water pump , and timing belt for now and rebuild it completly in the winter months? pulling the motor twice doesnt bother me.

Or should I just go ahead and do it all now? Again the motor is bone stock and indicates all signs of just a blown headgasket.

If I do it all now I wont have it done by either event and that wouldnt be very cool.

I am probably just going to leave it for now and do it in the winter but just wanted everyones .02 cents.

thanks
Travis

Cometic makes two different headgaskets for these cars. One is a 25psi or lower rated and one is a 30+ rated gasket. Both of which are good, just depends on what you want to do. The Mitsu 4-layer (the one that I HAD on my car) is also a very good gasket. It's supposed to hold 25psi as well with the ARP's. Make sure that you torque the ARP's down in the same order as stock and follow ARP's torque specs.
