edekalil Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Gave some love to the Goon and pulled the head. Found out the 3rd cylinder issue with no compression. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Over heated probably from lack of valve clearance. Exhaust valves can only cool themselves when they are on the seat. When valves are tight they make poor contact. A new valve and a quick lap with compound and you're back in operation. I guess it's possible that the seat has eroded away. Will know once the valve is out. 1 Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) I'll find a good machine shop to bring it in New Orleans I figure. I can check the Nissan dealer tomorrow to see about getting a valve I guess. Put her together when I get it back and then the Goon should run better.

KELMO Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 If L16, vales appear to be NLA from Nissan INT; 13201-23002 EXH; 13202-23001 Would have to do a little more looking but that is what I found when I took a quick peek. Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Well I cleaned up the head a little so it won't dirty up the car. I'll bring it to New Orleans on Tuesday and call a friend to find a good machine shop and let them fix it up. It had been done up way back when I rebuilt it so it has hardened seats.

edekalil Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Any suggestions on a upgraded front swaybar for a lowered Goon, and I see there are rear ones as well these days. Edited October 17, 2020 by edekalil Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 Shop will have the head finished this week but being on vacation I will have to get it next week while back at work. I figured not worth the gas money and ride to get it, all that extra expense so I'll wate. Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted October 28, 2020 Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Gotta call the shop about the Goon head tomorrow now that the Hurricane is leaving tonight. Good thing no real water event just some wind, lucked out. Quote Link to comment
edekalil Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Looks like next week for the head cause of the Hurricane yesterday and all the activities going on with no one having power in the Big Easy and surrounding areas. Quote Link to comment
