hi I'm fairly new to the forum just havent got around to saying g'day yet.
so, hi all,
I have not long purchased a 2003 d22.

had it for two weeks and had to do the head gasket... anyway, all back together and going alright now.

not sure how to put pics in posts so any help would be appreciated, here's a couple mods I have done to the d22,
boost gauge, egr block off, pyro gauge, snorkel, driving lights, 2inch toughdog lift, catchcan (in progress).

cheers, tommy

Hi mate, Head gasket that sucks

 

[tommyhodgkin]

Yeah did all the work myself so I got out of it for about $960. That included new water pump and timing chain set, which I thought would be worth doing while everything was apart.

welcome mate, are you a mechanic? did you buy it knowing it need a head gasket?

Na mate not a mechanic, fitter machinist by trade, work as a breakdown fitter, no when I bought it it had an airlock in the radiator, didn't think much of it, couldn't bleed it out and it ended up blowing top hose off. Bit of a pain as I hadn't plan on the extra cash...
