April 11, 20196 yr Hi, Possible free bee coming my way.. nice couple of people.. car taken care of.... It just started blowing white smoke from what I understand... still drives...... I would go and pick it up... I would drive it about thirty miles... from what I understand... they returned from a trip.. when it began to behave like this. drove home who knows one hundred miles... it did not overheat.. just smoking... I figure:::: thirty miles more back to my place fill radiator... cross my fingers... remove thermostat if necessary... I am figuring.. a regasket job... Oem gaskets.. head surfacing... what are your thoughts? reccomendations? ........ what about OEM EQUIVALENT :::::: Oshino gasket sets for 05 2.5L motors?
April 12, 20196 yr Author So yeah, done lots of HGs on SOHC’s 2.2L EJ22 1.8L EA82. DOHC None..... Can I get the heads off with motor in the car? (head bolts long ?) can anyone can chime in? On the experience? nightmare aspects..??? dealing with the teardown etc etc thanks, Micky
April 12, 20196 yr No idea whether it's possible with the '05, but I did it with the '99. Undoing the motor mounts and firewall/xmission strut and lifting the motor a few inches would have made it easier.
April 12, 20196 yr Author yup! did a 98... had to lift motor... was difficult getting bolts out.. they where long on 2.2L thanks! anyone else?....
