Thanks to ~ MLR and My Rolling Road.com for hosting.
2)...buy a foreign used head??... Their lifters will be worn too, not so?
3)...will the restore i used previoisly affect the new head or even my current block??...
4) what kinda damages does the retore do??...
Same question. IMHO only use Restore on VERY old engines that are burning oil.
5) if i run a engine flush will it help??... if so wat flush should i use?.... Yup it definately will.

So to reduce engine wear... wash out dirt, metal chips and sh!t before changing oil and filter. | Link--> The Truth: ~ About Oil... and the BULLSH!T about it.
6) wat kinda oil?... Oil, is oil, is oil, padna. See link above.
Stick to what the Owners' Handbook recommends.
If not use NP Ultra. That's what I use for everything but the Evo. I use OEM Mobile 1 there. _________________ Walk softly... and carry a BIG stick!

To clean hydraulic lifters
Remove the lifters, be sure to number or label them carefully.
place the lifters in a container of Diesel Fuel and leave to soak.
The detergents in the Diesel will breakdown any oil sludge and deposits.
and if there is any question of the source of this advice.
I got it in Germany while at a BMW technical training conference. _________________ Livng life one day at a time
