hello, im posting this to help my friend josh

my friend and i wanted to port and polish the motor of his 04 so we did some reserch to see what we needed to use. we read that you can sand blast the heads so thought we would go that way. after doing it the car runs like crap and has low compression. we dident want to take the motor appart to port is as we have no real tools so we decided to put the sand in the intake and let the motor do the porting for us. we had to go slow and the car had a hell of a time staying started. my question is dose he need to replace his rings or port the heads some more or what? we also knew there would be sand in the motor after this so we took the drain plug out of the oil pan and ran the hose through it to clean it out. its now hard to start and runs like crap and really wont idle. any ideas? i know little about cars but my friend josh is used to working on old fords.


thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

I think I would look for a new motor. Most likly you destroyed the vaulves and pistons and or rings.

I agree! You would just spend more money trying to fix it. I suggest to just go with an engine swap. An H22 engine would be your best choice.
