Hi guys i just picked up a 92 shadow with a 2.5 auto. I got this car for free all it needs is brakes and a headgasket. I was wondering how hard is a headgasket to do on these cars? I have done a headswap on my 92 eagle talon tsi and it wasnt too dificult.

I wish it was a turbo but its a plain 2.5 tbi shadow. I got this car for free because i wrecked my talon. After savin up for awhile i will be lookin for another pbody turbo or daytona.

Hey guys, i finaly got started on the shadow. Its pretty easy so far. All i have left to finish is drain the coolant, set it to TDC, pull VC, take off DP, lift head off and i think thats it.

Well I got the head off and everything, put a new water pump, timing belt etc. I pulled the head off by myself with both manifolds attached. I was putting it in and i killed the headgasket so now i have to wait to get another one . Here are some pics though

HG that came off.

Woot it runs! I got most of it done today and it started up. It idled steady at like 2200 because im still trying to figure out wich connecter goes where on the tb. I have some pics, There is a a main harness part where 3 connecters come off of. 1 goes to the top of the tb and the other 2 dont fit on the isc or the other connecter on the passenger side of the tb

I have one last question. Does anyone have a vacuum diagram? My brother basically broke most of the vacuum hoses trying to get them off.
