no i just got the head done
valve job (adjustment)

got everything cleaned up real nice
cam shafts powder coated to prevent rust just in case
real gaudy valve covers
painted intake and exhaust
re-did all vacuum lines and other tubing that was falling apart
cleaned as much as a possibly could

Oh my...and yes, an 84mm headgasket would be fine, and like was said already, don't look for a thinner head gasket. Sounds like you want about a 1.4 or 1.5mm headgasket, if very little material was removed.

now that i think about it
I think they just cleaned it and painted them a little bit
of course not on any contact points
obviously...

javascript:%20openWindow%20('../Dynamic/ImageViewer.php?w=640&h=480&sURL='%20+%20sLargeImageURL,%20'Large%20Image',%20640%20+%2015,%20480%20+%2045,%200,%201);%20void%20(0);

durr


anyone know now much the fuel pressure dampener is really worth
does it do much of anything besides stablize the pressure
my banjo bolt washers arent seating and i decided to go with something driftmotion has that gets rid of the dampener
