First off I have a 2.5 engine not a V6 or V8

Has anyone with my engine done a engine head rebuild?

Is it easy to do on your own?

Is it better to just swap out with a rebuilt head or get my head rebuilt?

How hard is this to do and what problems could I run into?

I would not be doing the head rebuild just the removing and re-installing part.

But is it better to keep my head instead of just swapping it out?

 

I have the 2.5 also. I rebuilt my head when my head gasket blew. It isn't to difficult to rebuild the head yourself. I'd recommend getting a valve job at a good machine shop, as for the parts it's pretty straight forward once you start tearing into it. Make sure to use a feeler gauge or you'll have valve chatter.

 

Do you remember what size the gap is 00daksport25

 

I think it was 0.001-0.003 inch.

 

Thank you 00daksport25

I will look in the book to be sure but its nice to get other info from someone that has done the same job.
