Anyone know a good place to get my head checked? Need it pressure tested and planed.
(the one on my corolla! lol!)
When I worked at Volvo we used a few different place's, Heads Unlimited was one, and the others name eludes me. I'll post it if I remember.

We used to use Alec's Automotive in Vanc. Fraser St & 24th. Hole in the wall, but do good work.

I have used both of the aforementioned places and had good results with both.
The Rolla down?

Thanks guys. I'll make some phone calls.
No the Rolla is running fine but it's been leaking oil in to the coolant for about 18 months. I figure I better deal with it sooner than later. There are a few other things I need to do like CV's and brakes so I thought I may as well just go full tilt and get it all done.
One thing I did today was check the compression since I don't know the actual mileage of this motor. 165psi straight across all 4 so I figure it's worth putting the money into it.

Sounds nice and strong, my Corolla 4wd wagon had 380kms on it and had about the same comp, maybe a bit less.
Yes Alec's Automotive ...that's the other one. :D
