After pulling the head just to get some broken exhaust manifold studs out, i decided to rebuild it. I got it all done in a parking lot in the cold, that was a pita. Heres the total price list.
$90 - Bolts extracted via VDM machine
$206 - Valve job, replace the cam and valve seals, resurface.
$126 - Head rebuil kit
$65 - Timing belt tentioner
Now it runs like a champ and smokes like whore. Not much smoke comes out the exhaust, its all under hood coming from the turbo area. Im not sure if its just stuff that build up on the turbo or if the turbo is burning oil. I cant be positive cause it doesnt leave that much smoke out the exhaust.
2 things that i do know is that the Turbine Housing and Exhaust manifold both have cracks. But the Turbo still boosts hard.
When the Neon is gone at the end of the month(cross my fingers) Im gonna order a B16g and Evo manifold. All my other mod like exhaust, guages, pocket logger...and so on...are all in the mail.
