bout to get my head worked on and was curious if this is something huge to worry bout, all the other chambers are fine but this one??

maft pro yeah iv thought bout that long and hard and i still like that option a lot more than the LEX AFM, but not trying to make a huge amount of hp right now

ill just end up getting the afpr kit new to be on the safe side. i know i said "budget" but iv had bad luck with used stuff :( yes the lex housing is cheap but the injectors are not. I'm just trying to get this car set up so its better tuned. plus iv heard that even though the stock...

got a budget for my build for now and was wondering what i should upgrade first? i wish i could buy it all at once but for the time being what would you guys suggest? car is a 91' with turbo elbow,tanabe DP,test pipe,tanabe CB,driftmotion IC,stock ct26 8-10lbs boost,greedy E boost...

yeah i got a similar headache but only when i bought my car it was running and quite well but the previous owner said he had done mhg and arp head studs! well being i didn't do the work i said fuck it and started tearing the head back off, well about 80% of the bolts except the head studs were...

iv never considered doing that because all engines wear and break in differently, when iv built motors i never use used parts. have you taken a micrometer to your cam and journals to see if they are even in spec before you considered putting used engine parts in,because your noisy valves may...

thats very helpful man thanks i probably won't be running much more than 15lbs of boost as its going to be mainly a street car i plan on using the arp stud kit and still undecided on a composite HG but if i plan on going high boost ill just build my other motor thanks for the input

well about felpro or the composite HG they got on horsepowerfreaks.com just want to steer on the save side, never really had to work on a motor where the HG was so important, with toyota 4 bangers id just toss any ol HG and it would be good to go but i also wasn't running 15lbs of boost!

do you have a link for the stone HG and do the offer a complete gasket kit or just the HG

what about cometic do they make composite gaskets and if so any good??

lmao,thats part of the reason I'm redoing the HG, because the guy i got the car from had put in a MHG and i know he didn't machine the block! probably use a oem toyota HG

yeah iv used that trick before usually just use the tap and penetrating oil and blast it out with compressed air hold much of the thread when using the arp bolt actually grab the block??? and is it common for threads in the block to strip on 7m's most the work iv done was on 22r's...

yeah doing a HG and the heads coming off just trying to figure out what route i wanna go with it the blocks not coming outta the car, yeah i know i should pull it and its not that I'm not capable its just i don't have the space or lift

but on the plus side id rather strip out a nut and put in a new stud than strip out threads in a block

yeah probably just going to get the ARP head bolt kit i understand that you get a quarter more thread to grab onto in the block with studs but you still only have 3/8th of thread holding the head down on top with the nuts correct me if I'm wrong but thats what I'm seeing

nevermind i re-read what you wrote makes sense now lmao

chased? wouldn't you have to chase the threads on the head bolts too or when you say "chased" you mean just taking the threads further down in the block?

whats the big difference? and is the extra 100 bucks for the ARP head stud kit really worth it? won't the ARP head bolts hold just as good if you install them the right way or is it all about the stud kit just giving you a more accurite tourqe reading.

a lot great info guys thanks

i could dual boot it but once in windows mode i hear the mac is deceptable to viruses i could just pick up a crap computer for 100-200 bucks for tuning but seeing i just bought the car i think I'm going to pull the head and redo the HG even though the guy said "oh yeah its got a new head...
