Cometics work well and I'd guess as well as the lower priced HKS's them being the same construction, it's not until you drop the $$$ for a Stopper that things change somewhat ;)

well i dont really care about cost.. just going for security. after reading the posted thread youve kinda swayed me towards the stopper IJ... money is a small price to pay for a solid motor..

alright well ive kinda of strayed away from cometic.. even though its more tolerable for block finish. im going to jsut have to find a machine shop that actually know hows to lap a block... but heres my plan

arp head studs, 2mm hks stopper hg, toga main and rod bearings, oem toyota rings, greddy timing belt, yonaka engine gasket set. should work pretty good :)
