Nice! I was wondering who got this car.

My local track opened today. I'll be going tomorrow for test and tune. Just hope I don't break anything since it's 45 mins away.

LOL...same here..

Welcome to the club! ;)

Buy NGK copper plugs..NGK 6282. They're $2 a piece and work wonderfully. If you paid a lot for NGK plugs they're probably iriduim..which can't be gapped..

You should be able to find it online. I just torqued my head to 120 with oil and it was fine.. It was a bit scary having to put that much force on the wrench but it worked out OK.

Driftmotion makes a kit to fix this problem. Check out their site.

You wont mess the gasket up removing any of the rivets so long as you keep all the layers in order. Like already stated, lay the HG on the block surface and if any of the rivets touch the deck, remove them.

Never seen this, pretty damn cool. Someone needs to replicate this!

Apparently switching to upgraded rear subframe bushings helps too. What suspension do you have?

Coolant: Mercedes orange G-05/ Distilled Diff: Redline 75W90 Tranny: Redline MT-90 Oil: Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 Power Steering:Valvoline ATF Brake/Clutch: OReilly's brake fluid

Yes. When I first put the motor in my car it ran terrible once in boost with .031 plug gap. Moved it down to .028 and it cleared it right up.

What plugs are you using? What are they gapped to? Have you tested the coil packs?

That sucks..So the threads in the block are broken where the oil filter screws to? It could have been overtightened at some point. A JZ swap is probably going to cost you more in the long run than finding a new block and putting it together. Not to mention you could have the same problems with...

A load leveler is something you might think about getting with your hoist... Wish I had one when I just took my motor out and put it back in...Huge PITA without one.

Steroids.

CNC vids were freakin' awesome!

Or just don't get into boost the last few minutes or minute of your drive. In other words, drive like a grandma before you shut the car down.

That copper jacket gets compressed anyway when the head is torqued down.

^That.
