I am interested as well. subscribed!

I'm very sorry for your loss. Although it is a tough time , Best wishes to you & your family.

sorry I guess I missed that part. So after torquing the end links did it still have play? If thats the case you can pick some up from our vendors such as BIC performance. For the strut mounts, have you visually inspected them? Like if you have TEMS, pop off the caps and looked to see any...

How about the plastic caps that go on the steering knuckle? I recently had a similar issue and it turned out to be these plastic caps on the knuckle. I don't know what the correct name is but I put some grease on that bolt and the noise went away, so then when I looked at the parts catalog...

Hey, I used those exact same pistons in my rebuild as well! And so its running without any issues. I remember weighing the pistons and I believe they were pretty close but you should still check them. The rings are chrome so make sure you have a good tool to use when popping the pistons in the...

I also live in LA county if they still need a car.:biglaugh:

You might wanna take a closer look at the lock mechanism in the trunk. I was having trouble with mine too but it would open with a key just not very easily. I found out that the plastic from the cable was broken and was not secure onto the lever, so the previous guy who owned it just zip...

I got mine done at performance techniques in San Bernandino, CA for $450 plus shipping and plus tax because I'm in state. so the total came out to a little over $500. I haven't put it on yet but it looks pretty good!:biglaugh:

Thanks guys for your feedback! I was talking with my machinist again and it turns out I misunderstood him. Since the wear on the main journals were not anything abnormal I guess I don't have to align hone them. And as far as the main studs go... since the stock bolts did hold up to 177,000 miles...

Hi, I haven't really posted on the forums much but I did use the search tool and did not find an answer. I am currently in the process of rebuilding my motor and from what I read, most people seem to recomend ARP hardware. So here's my question, I purchased the ARP mainstud kit thinking it was...
