it depends if you want to keep everything... like p/s... abs... and all of that stuff.
the problem is that you see hondas that run on map, so that frees up some stuff, and they just dont have the crap we do in the engine bays... so you'll never really get the full look of a wire tuck.
it took my car 3 - 4 times of coutning to 15 to get any sort of pressure, but once you have a little pressure, it jumps pretty quick and is VERY obvious once you have that pressure... and your gonna wanna charge your battery, but im sure you already thought of that.
if you didnt fill the...
i think this is funny... because the head was as smooth as glass.
how you can say its not smooth as glass if you werent there?
and i was the other person who was there today.
honestly it makes no sense why it would smoke more after its sat for 7 days as oppose to 3 days... because normally for the oil to leak past the seals it has to be coming from somewhere, and a sitting car doesnt have oil flowing into the head...
my vote is stem seals though... best way to...
i disagree... a puff of oil smoke shouldnt happen just because a car sits...
my friends car thats been turbo for the past 6 months just sat at my house for 4 days doing a full 3'' downpipe, 3'' test pipe, 3'' cat-back... no oil burn what so ever.
my car is the same way... i can let it sit...
find out what he has, if it really is that cheap, buy it all and flip it on here!
OR
just post what he has and the prices he wants and then buy the things that people want... either way you can make some money on it.
there are dowel pins in the block that help you line up the head to block along with the gasket.
and arp head studs have a 5mm inverted hex into the top so you can use a 5mm allen to tighten them. but you need to chase the the threads to clean them out at least 2-3 times to make sure there...
you dont ADD torque if you use a "lube"... its like with arp head studs
moly lube is 75 ft. lbs
oil is 100ft lbs or something up there... its a large difference...
so if anything, i wouldnt go over 70ft lbs if you use anything on the threads.
dont be a damn nazi... if he wants to take his car to 150+ MPH then let him...
if something is gonna just fall of and break it would probably happen at 80-100 anyways...
driftmotion uses jawsgear last time i checked, and i got a steel one which i'll never buy again. it was garbage... i'd...
like pete said, it just slides out, make sure you drain the fluid BEFORE you pull the engine.
Putting it back in can be a bit of a pain... especially when its just yourself underneath it and you just finished dropping the motor in.
Head Studs:
the only problem i see about putting them in...
he said he would take mine apart and just drill out the bottom orofice (sp?) to the desired cc/flow. he sounded like a knowledgeable guy...
i was just wondering more than anything, and i doubt you guys would sell a product if you didnt back it 100%
i used bbq paint on my valve covers, intake manifold, and throttlbe body... ect
still looks good. just have to use light coats, and painting with a rattle can in the winter is almost always doomed to fail.
