eh, good a time as any to freshen up the head. those old suzuki 1.6 motors in the sidekicks (same thing as the tracker) were pretty rugged.

Theyre good engines. Its sad to see a weak link bring it down. They can continue to run even when compression is below 100psi. Id love to get a deal on tye 2.0L four banger.

Hell ive seen links to were the 1.3L samurai engine is used in single prop planes. They love high rpms. Wish there was a lot more engine aftermarket like the brits have.

I have a turbo setup I can stick on my 16v, but Ill make sure this head gasket is better than the last first.

Going to studs vs bolts then?

No one really makes studs for our engines. A guy did find some close enough that are ARP and some other part numbers

Head is bolted on and valves are set. Took tye intake off and gave it a good cleaning. Get all the emission crap put back on it and get the intake bolted on. Get this dang thing running again.

Got the engine running. Just gotta get the timing down and coolant topped off.
