    Valve Stem Seals stuck.

    Vise grips are just going to compresse them harder to the nipple they snap onto. You need to get under them and pull.

    The Mistress

    Vinyl will crack in the cold quite easily. Good example is Mazda tells you not to operate the top on the Miata below 42 degrees.

    Circuit (road course) 7m Race engine - More Boost?

    Well, I know HKS used to have a "scramble boost" feature on their boost controllers. They even sold a remote button for it (crisp has one).

    You're better off buying something that's already made...

    57trim Ct26 to 60-1 = Less torque, same, or more?

    Clipped exhaust wheel will cause a bit more lag, so the low end torque won't be as high...but your max torque peak should be just as good. Remember: [(TQ x RPM) / 5,252] = HP The hit is it doesn't take into effect VE, but that's another discussion. Keep in mind it also works in reverse. [(HP...

    What Do You Think Of This?

    My bro has told me stories of being in his friend's bug. Had a porsche engine conversion and he was in the backseat going over 100MPH with crosswinds making the car change lanes. His comment, "I thought I was gonna die."

    Circuit (road course) 7m Race engine - More Boost?

    The base of the windsheild is a high pressure zone. You're effectively hurting your cooling at speed doing it (plus it looks stupid)

    Subframe bushings?

    The spacers make the bushing redundant. I'd imagine it would stress the chassis more as well (plus you'll hear everything)

    how many of you run steering coolers on your swap?

    The later 91/92 coolers are better as well. You definately want a cooler though if you want consistant steering performance (and of course far less wear).

    No way that's the right compression... did you have all the plugs out to do it? I should be about 100 more PSI than that lol

    Subframe bushings?

    Those are spacers and will rigidly mount the rear subframe to the chassis. Not something I'd do for anything other than a racecar...

    Engine disassembly diagnosis

    The crack in the head is pretty interesting as it looks like it might be from the valve seat. The damage around the headbolt holes in the head is odd as well... Broken ringland looks scary, did it damage the cylinder wall? Kinda sad to see since I know you did an amazing job on that entire car.

    Steering lock adjustment and wheel bearing check
