    How much torque should I torque a 2mm HKS headgasket?

    Aprox 72 ft/lbs with stock, unused head bolts using moly lube. 80 ft/lbs with ARP studs using moly lube after 5 initial retorques (this means tightening down in sequence per the TSRM instructions, in 5-3 increments, until final torque specs are achieved, loosen in order, start again. Do this...

    1995 Geo Metro 1.0 5 spd. When I first bought it, it was getting 38 MPG, Replaced a bunch of old shit with some desperately needed new parts, modded the TBI, best I've seen is 51MPG. It's been down for a while now, need a new steering knuckle, it got jacked during the CV axle replacement...

    Hey John, can you hook me up with everything listed there for $60 bucks?? ;) You do competitive matching, don't you? ;) Just joking. I'll be having some parts shipped to you this spring I'd say if all goes well.

    What's the fastest stock motor 7M?

    :werd: It's all in the interpretation of what the OP meant by stock motor'd. A turbo isn't in the motor ;).

    Rockband= teh fail

    It won't sync for shit though, plus their already breaking, that lets you know what to expect out of it right there. The GH guitars on demo have been surviving for months over here and the first week out with this one the damn fret key only works half the time.

    Torque wrench for rebuild

    Just guessing here, but I'd say the crank bolt has the highest torque spec, not the head bolts ;). I've got a 1/2" drive Craftsman torque wrech that goes to 250 ft/lbs and a beam torque wrench for the lower torque ratings needed for the smaller things ;)

    Rockband= teh fail

    I've been attempting to play the rockband demos at a couple different Wal-Marts lately to no avail. Don't get me wrong, I can beat any Guitar Hero song out there on expert, but the guitar that comes with rockband flat out sucks major nut sackage. The fret key doesn't click, hell, one...

    You need a 1 JZ bellhousing for the R154 to bolt onto the 2JZ dude. Searching before you post and knowing where to post your threads at first helps a lot ;).

    FFIM 1jz and 2jz on 7mgte

    Let me guess, a thick plated flange with runners sloping into the stock lower runner on the 7M, then into 1 and 2 JZ upper runner?? It would probably be cheaper to just make a completely new lower runner then have it cast out into runs of like 10-20 for group buys...
