    got head back from machine shop with notch in it

    LOL. yes. you should forget the jb weld idea. it doesn't belong anywhere near an engine build. the only place that shit is good for is a cracked case on bikes. i have had one crack hold for 2 years until i sold the thing.

    afm screw

    for those that adjust them do you have any problems with the screw backing out once adjusted from the stock position? or does it stay in place without any locktite or lock nut? there doesn't seem to be any info about that.

    500 rwhp on stock headgasket and bolts.

    how do you know that? i doubt they pulled the motor. then tore it down. machine the deck then reassembled it. :nono: i find that hard to believe. i'm sure they decked the head and maybe even got a valve job done at the machine shop. but i haven't heard of ANY dealership tearing a motor down...

    Hit and run

    i wouldn't bother. that is going to be A LOT of work. and even then its just not going to look right unless you get a new core support and i would replace that whole driver side frender support. if you pull that one out its going to be weak and really hard to get the lines right. ive been...

    Place you bets: Rod knock or an Imposter

    R154 Transmission

    dude...........there are only three forks. and the one in the tailshaft housing is for 5th. so yeah. you need the fork for 1st-2nd and the fork for 5th. replace the bolts too. and all i can say is getting those shift rails and interlocks (little metal balls and pins) back is a BITCH.
