This is the first part of installing a head on a 2006 Suzuki Forenza after being picked up by the machine shop. The damage is pointed out from the bent valve…

I watched all you videos, they’re great!
I failed to see where the 2006 Forensa 2.0 L PCV is located for R&R. My PCV has failed, It’s causing excess back pressure. Could you make a video pointing out engine parts and location. Also, which repair book do you think is best?
My lord Mitch! The car is really not that hard to work on and three mechanics later. I’m very sorry to hear that you’re having those kind of problems. Keep us posted of what happens and again sorry to hear.
GREAT, MY daughter hired a guy off Craigslist to fix a leaky hose who said while he had the front part of the engine off replace the timing belt, well he messed up ruined the motor and here we are three “mechanics” later and the car still sits with no head.
No problem Robin. I’m glad to be able to help. I’m going to create the rest of the videos showing how to bleed the lifters, installing the cams and the rest of the stuff to putting this back together. Thanks for watching!
Great video series. I have a 2005 Optra which has the same engine as your Forenza that blew the head gasket. I’ve watched all your videos and they have been a great help. I’m getting the head back from the shop today and this video cleared up some questions I had regarding torquing the head bolts. Thanks alot Robin☺
came up again, it bent the valve in the other direction. On an interference engine as this one, the valves can not occupy the same space when the piston is at TDC. Some vehicles being non-interference won’t hurt the valves because even when the belt breaks and the valves are open, the piston won’t hit the valves. Hope that makes sense and thanks for watching!
Yes, the valves were pretty bad shape. When the timing belt is installed, the valves will move in synchronization with the movement of the piston’s travel. When the belt breaks, the valves stop moving, but the pistons continue to move up and down. So, when the belt breaks, some of the valves will be open and then here comes the pistons which slam into the open valves. On the valve bent the worse, the valve was open. Then the piston slammed into it bending it. Then when the piston….cont
Hi diaz, you should consider yourself lucky on that one. The gasket that I showed from Felpro has the gasket for your car. In my case as you know, I wasn’t soo lucky. Stay tuned, I’ll be putting another video up today as the head installation continues.
Wow, those valves are bad. why do that happen?
thank you so much. i got a 2005 it uses smaller gasket for EGR.
