Stick with obd0?

i was gonna convert..but is so expensive..and all i can find for the swap is ecu, 02 sensor, injector wires? what else?

i got a stock obd0 b16 and was wondering whats good ecu upgrade

kk thanks Carfrog

..wow never thought of that..kk

a book for a single cam be the same for the b16? cause all i can find is books for sohc..but kk thank you i'll get to that when i can and let you know, Thanks

ight, i really appreciate all these you 2..ill let you know what happens..it may take a few though..but thanks ill try it out...oh, and how do i run my own dianostics with the flashing light and where do i look up the codes? a performance shop wants to charge me 80 for it..screw that

how much will the valve guides run me?

grr..yeah they're head bolts not studs..should i buy new ones now or think it'll be fine?..and the seal thats at the bottom of the valve inside the retainers?

valve guide? do i retorque after letting the car run for a few mins?? after changing the gasket..someone told me this a month or so ago..i never did that

yeah but it'll be at a machine shop for atleast a day or so..and should i take my valves out before taking the head to the machine shop? or will it be fine to live them in?

kk, my local performance shop did the compression test and they said that ruled out my head as an issue...idk..they kinda seemed shady..and the smoke is whitish..i can't tell the difference between white or blue smoke Lol..so it may not my coolant or water, could be oil..idk..but ill have to...

so you think i should take head off and get it surfaced then get a new head gasket?

but wouldn't that show up in the compression test???

a slow leak on the ground..the coolant levels are fine...i hada compression test on it and all cylinders where 185-190..sooo im thinking i didn't hook something up right when i changed the head gasket..or maybe my maps is going out..and flooding me out?
