You will need to check the Pistons for cracks but you should to get away with it and just rebuilding the head
The best person to speak to is Carl evens

evocarlos.

Valve guides will be cracked so defo want to replace them with the bent valves, check the pistons for cracks

gm chains(balance and timing) if budget allows but atleast gm main chain.

N defo talk to carl evans, he is the chain and head master.

I probably have a full set of used z22se valves somewhere in my garage if you need any.

You will need to change the valve guides as they crack and the engine will smoke if you leave them :eek:

I know you pull them out n chop them down but that about it.

I think there is a guide on here but i dont know where.

but evocarlos should be able to either tell you or point you in the direction of the guide.
