Alright need some opinion on if u think the head gasket is blown View attachment 141230

Here is a video of it running

Only strange thing is it's not white smoking idk if that is necessarily always the case but just let me know what y'all think

Is that a GM 2.2? The coolant coming from the hoses is normal, they are bypasses. Is it overheating or using coolant? The dexcool mud wasnt uncommon then. They didnt get the block flushed out good enough after casting/machining.
2.2 failed head gaskets were pretty common too!

Yes it is getting hot in a very short drive time. I cant say if it is loosing coolant I'm not the first person to look at the car so I don't know if they added to it or not.

The radiator could be clogged judging by how dirty that coolant looks. Just a possibility.

Do the cooling fans work? If not, fix that first.
If they do, let it run until it's hot and the thermostat opens. Turn the cooling fans on. If the air the fans are pulling through the radiator feels cool or ambient temp, the coolant has quit circulating, likely due to excess pressure from the combustion chambers. You can usually feel that the hoses are rock hard and the radiator inlet is cool. I've seen them muddier than that and not have an overheat issue. I would bet head gasket. Used to do a ton of them.

If you tear into it, the head bolts are torque to yield, and require an angle meter. If you need one, I have an older dial one I almost never use (went digital) and could send you as a loaner to torque it back down.

That's what I'm hoping ordered two rim sprockets so as long as they for the small hub I'll be safe. Lol

Ill have to go back and look at check for these symptoms and thanks on dial meter ill let you know if I need it or not.

Thoughts on running this cylinder on my 2159. Cleaned transfer off and this is the damage underneath.

This one is Finnished I'll be running a couple tanks through it then then going to put the oem ristpin witch is way lighter than the farmertec one not really sure why but with the stihl ristpin it should be snappyer and I'm not going to be keeping the carburetor that's in it either have a better one coming soon.

Run it. It'll probably just have lower than average compression. Or find a 357 head for a bump in powa!

I believe that's what I'm going to do. Run it with this till I come across a 357 p/c.

Just make sure it's an oem p/c. Some post some pics of an AM 357 head and the ports were just tiny. Last time I priced check they were 120 ish.

Yeah I believe I read that awhile back. May see if I can come across a used one but that's not a bad price for new OEM

No it is not. Husky dropped some prices last year making it nice for us guys.

This is on my bench right now, but I'd like to sell it and move it along. Posted in the classified ads.

That's one clean old saw

 

[Bilge Rat]

I got the free to me 20hp lawnmower running.
A new intake pushrod, guide, carb kit and battery swap made it run.
It is a few years old and well kept. The owner is cheap, heard motor problem and pushed it to the curb.
Bought a new one with a warranty.

I now own a 120.oo mower, it's got headlights too!
Next is to recarb a Wildthing.

Looks kinda like mine did. Did ur cylinder have pits or holes in the plating after cleaning?

Got to a few 026 jugs before retiring for the evening.

One is going on an 024 Super for a member here. I plan on a build tread, as there haven’t been many lately.
