ROFL!! Best, response, ever.

If the rest of the engine and supporting components are up to snuff, and you have a GOOD TUNE to avoid detonation! That is the key, and then yes, 350 to even 400 with a properly replaced stock HG and ARP's, should be no problem If your engine is tired though and needs a rebuild, you will have...

Bwahaha, More parts!! Grabbed a bunch of shiney ceramic parts from jdub, they look so freakin hawt! I should have my replacement ring the day after tomorrow... looks like I'll be waiting on the oil squirters next Sorry for all the lame updates, I'm just getting so antsy!

If he used ARP, and used Toyota torque values, you NEED to retorque! Oh, and you're supposed to deck both surfaces as little as possible for the finish you need, measure it, and THEN order the MHG, not the other way around! ::bhg::

.017" - .019" is what adjuster meant, this is probably for aftermarket pistons, on a engine that will be high-hp! For lots of power, you'll have more heat, so more expansion, you allow more room for the gap to close, without risking having the ends butt Tsrm calls for .010" - .020 for the 2nd...

'Doh! I thought that sounded familiar, oh well :biglaugh: So while I'm waiting anyways, I figured, why not order another upgrade? I haven't put as much effort into the oiling system, as I should've. I decided to replace all the squirters, instead of the 2 i replaced just because they were...

Does it have 3 tires, that it only uses when it's resting?

lol, you got that right! At least only 1 is garbage, $30 down the drain! I tried to find some old rings to practice on, but i think I already trashed em awhile ago!

Interesting! Good to know :) So I f'ed a ring, and now i get to buy (and even worse: wait for) a new set of rings, at least i only have to buy per piston sets! JaV: Be extra careful with the second ring, they are alot softer, and after doing the first rings, the seconds go a LOT quicker...

Before you do anything, retorque the headgasket, while you're at it, replace the valve cover seals and hardware. Replace at least any hoses that are damaged

A good option for the NA, is to get a catback from a 7MGTE, sounds good, still nice and quiet :)

ROFL @ JJ!! I'm with BorHor, someone got a option for a pre89 hood? And i don't wanna hear 'get a post 89 hood' lol

3 Piece FTMFW~!!!

Uhmm I read the first couple sentences of this thread... 18 MPG, is not bad. If you think that's expensive, sell the car NOW and get a honda!! Otherwise you'll be whining even more about either: Expensive upgrades, or even more expensive fixes when shit breaks. Did I mention you'll get less...

Sure, if by Keep it up, you mean hurry it up! :evil2: :stickpoke :evil2:

^ I think so! I'm under the impression that Pauters are the best money can buy :naughty: I have no firsthand experience though, this is just word on the streets... err forums :biglaugh: Hate to link to SF, buut here's the thread where they discussed this...

Definitely helps! I'm going to have to do this soon, I think you've given me some confidence to do it sooner! I knew it was an easy job, but seeing your pictures, I now know step by step what to do! Thanks very much Jebus :)
