it would probably be less effective at burning a hole in your wallet...

I'd think it would be essentially the same as any other clutch...it will just take longer.

The Venturi effect is used to evacuate the crankcase fumes as opposed to re-routing them back through the intake system. It eliminates the potential re-circulation of oil if the catch can overflows and it reduces some inlets/outlets of the intake system. As far as downsides go, more...

I certainly see your point, and yes, uneducated "guesses" usually end up with dire consequences. back on topic indeed.

I am aware of the effect of lubrication on the torque. As far as I'm concerned, if the tightening sequence is followed correctly, the head is robust enough that no local deformation will occur with a moderately higher clamp load. Also, 20% more torque does not translate to 20% more preload...

(I wasn't the owner of the car when the motor was built, I just have the build spec sheet here...and was speaking from the experience I had) That, and being a materials engineer myself, I have some idea what I am doing. But I suppose that doesn't really matter...

eh, my ARPs (bolts) are torqued to 90 lb-ft with no problems in 60k kms, so I don't think that is too big of a deal.

did you replace your radiator cap?

Its a lot easier to learn to board after you've been a skier all your life. You completely lose the fear of going too fast, which at first is not a good thing. I'll post some pics later, I've done a couple solid trips through the Alberta and BC rockies this year. Good snow and some great...

there was a member here that installed 60mm gauges in the gauge cluster - try searching for it

that is even too much rust for me...and my car was rusty. if you are dead set on saving that one, have somebody cut the rear quarters/wheel wells out of a parts car and have them welded on to your car. As far as I know, I got the last available outer fender wells from toyota in north america...

not using the camera's macro setting by any chance, are you?

I was referring to the diagram, not your setup.

lol, mullet mobiles...and you guys don't even have the plethora of "real" mullet rustangs/firebirds/camaros. I suppose the mid-90s falcon with open exhaust does count though...

heh, yep, we posted at the same time. even with a check valve on the intake manifold outlet, you'd still be sucking dirty crankcase air through the turbo under boost.

I think you're defeating the purpose of the catch can like that. Under boost, the catch can will be inoperable, no? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

get some big brakes, then the wheels will be functional!

yes I would. (doesn't sound like that was a small job...I doubt there are any small jobs for B&W)

those pics are perfect! thanks a bunch - it looks like there is a little bit of clearance between the light (and the rubber gasket) and the quarter panel - that is pretty much the way mine look. poodles, the lights actually do have those gaskets.

seems like a bit of a waste of titanium...
