    how is it possible to bend your spine like that?

    I was looking through the unveiling pics of the new Panoz World Champ Car and this is one of the photos that was a show before the actual showing of the car... now...this reminded me of every time i see this sort of back-breaking arobics...and i've been meaning to ask...how the HELL do they...

    ok, i'll do some reading in the TSRM on the plastigauging. dont know a thing about it. ----EDIT #2----- now that i read up on it... what do i do if they are loose? i dont see how i could fix that unless i took some metal off the caps... whats the worst that could happen if i dont fix them...

    OK now that i'm putting it back together FINALLY...

    but what about the parts of the engine involving the head? TSRM says to add "seal packing" on the block where the front plate seams with the block, and around the #1 cam caps.... i dont know what kind of sealant to use when it calls for this "seal packing" i think it HAD orange RTV so i...

    Cool/unique Taillights?

    you're right, the uniform height really makes a difference and gives it a newer rounded look. I think the pre 89 lights like mine look a bit dated... for a while i wanted the pre 89 lights with the 89+ centerpiece but i dont think it can be done. can it? even thoug pondering it doesn't help...

    OK now that i'm putting it back together FINALLY...

    thanks jazz. i'll reuse the gasket, and i'll probably use 30wt engine oil on the bolts if i dont get any other responses, and i'm taking everyone's reccomendation into account on the torque. toyota is NO help...i thought i'd try the dealer and they are "aware" of its issues but offer no...

    OK now that i'm putting it back together FINALLY...

    I had to make a new thread for my BHG ordeal assembly because my old thread was dying, and now i'm not tearing down, i'm assembling, and i need to know all this before i can move on. I have checked the TSRM. but i'm still sorry if these seem like silly questions to any of you, i'm a TOTAL newb...

    What should I do while the head is off to prevent more problems??

    good point. i was also noticing this because the crappy fel-pro one i had was...thin. and it was little circles of gasket instead of one huge gasket and lots of material between the ports... the fel-pro had just enough to hold the circles together and could probably aid warpage. blahhh.
