changed the color of oil pan and timing chain cover

assembled the head and put back the rods so on...

head gasket is from victor reinz. 3 layer one.

i bought new gasket recently, same as yours. I need to take head out and change collapsed lifter ( hope that cam is ok) did some research and it seems that Victor Reinz MLS gasket is same as Mopar Performance headgasket, having thinner compressed thickness than normal replacement ones and thus adds little compression, not much but... for normal ppl its not so important but i have milled head and installed that mopar performance gasget to add little of that.

I measured the block and head, they seemed normal so i didn't do any milling, just sanding (1200 grid) backed with aluminum block.

I didn't really check anything about that gasket but the guy who selling it told me to buy that one. it was 2-3 years ago

even a little bit increase in compression is enough after torquing the head bolts down, spin the crank with hand, make sure you have enough valve clearance

i took 0.5mm of the head

been driving with that for some years allready, just now have that collapsed lifter and didnt want to spend 5 times more money for just the mopar name on gasket...

next time i also wont buy comp cams lifters... 3rd time i seei some thousand driven lifter fail.

was working in workshop for a while and now have some free time again so back to work.

washed inside the intake but seems there is still little bit dirt left. injector seats needs little bit polishing but fine for now.

disassembled throttle body and sunk it in thinner for couple of days and did some buffing inside.

took off the tranny cover to change oil filter so on but there is some water inside
