i would try that if i hadn't of blew a head gasket (well thats what i'm thinkin it is) i'm gonna save my pennys and just rebuild the motor, put forged rods, some 238/100 hybrids and a precision billet turbo and call it good

I would suspect a cracked injector cup over a blown head gasket...

ok, i'll let you know when i know, either way i'm going to pull the motor and do a rebuild on it, mostly for the forged rods but i'm sure it could use some refreshing

how would i go about getting the injector cup out? isn't there some B.S. specialty tool for it?

There is a Rotunda tool that you need. There are several other kits on the market that do the same thing, goggle it, you should find a few. The Rotunda is the one I have used.

think the stage one 160cc injectors from Full Force will be about right for a PMR motor?
i'm gonna wait to rebuild the motor till after the snow is gone
