The group buy is over, but suprarich may have bought several PM him, he'll most likely sell a few sets, don't expect to get them for the GB price though...

While .0006 may not be a big of a deal to you, you have to think about the previous owners. From what you've said already it looks as if the HG has been repaired once already, so it's a good possibility that there was material already taken off of the head before you had it done...

What is it?! What is it?! :runaway: Stock style mani modded??

Remember, you will have higher compression since material has been taken off of the head, I don't know how much material needs to be taken off the head and block to make the engine an interferance motor, but you may want to be careful....

Damn, I can't see the pictures, fucking firewall :3d_frown:

Ian, you need to go hunt down some nice ass cars now that you're pretty much done and post up those kills for the entertainment of all on here ;).

The ARP studs come with a torque spec sheet in the box. The studs, using moly lube is 81 ft/lbs. Torque them is small increments each time going the correct order per the TSRM specs. Once you reach your final torque of 81ft/lbs (recommended by jdub to achieve the closest torque value possible)...

Good lord what was the excuse for that? ^

Aww, I'm making you mad because I post when I'm at work, so sorry. /of the nonsense.

Pay him the money and I'm sure he'd get it to make you happy. I got a piece of ass last night thank you very much. *sarcasm intended* ;) Ever think that maybe this person has a MKIII becuase they like the car? I suppose not :nono:

Sarcasm? With Joe? :rofl:

Felpro is the only one I'm familiar with, and it's as good a oem hg AT BEST.

Me either, I'd be laughed at.

Better support the block with a cherry picker or something if you do that ;).

Correct. The bearings are made of a softer metal. If coolant and oil mixes, you get an acidic result, it will eat through the bearings, loosening up the tollerances, leading to rod knock.

Pull the block, it's a learning experience ;). I doubt you could measure Roughness Average with the block in the car anyways. You might as well check and make sure that the rod and main bearings are with TSRM spec or you'll be having the dreaded "rod knock after BHG repair" syndrom.

It may be a trick to find a good machine shop that can measure Roughness Average, it's not something you'd want to go out and buy. I couldn't find a machine shop around where I lived that could, but I found out that at the tech schools nearby they had what I needed ;).

And to be 100% sure that it's flat.

Haha, that was pretty awesome JJ ;).

Nope, not if they know they've done it right the first time (or second, or third time for those really stubborn ones) ;).
