What i am really curious about is stock bolts with engine oil compared to stock bolts with moly lube at 72ft lbs. Would the bolt with moly lube not put more tension on the bolt than it was designed for? Thus making it unsafe/risking the integrity of the bolt?

So for the non engineer you are saying: Using moly lube with stock bolts but keeping the same torque value is a bad idea

well, obviously. Im not going to put it together with water still it in :P. I just need a good idea on washing it out, would pressure washing suffice?

I thought about this too, but the cylinder head is spotless, it was recently blasted. The thing is i dont have any dirt or grime on it that needs to be cleaned off, it just needs all the valleys washed out etc, im sure a good wash with some simple water+soap would work great, but should i just...

Let me know if you have a STUD. Not worried if its used. I thought about the whole brake clean thing, but im worried about metal shavings being stuck in there, under all the valve train castings. I feel like a high pressure type of wash would be better to blast all that crap out of there so...

Why dont you see a custom sunroof installing place and see if they can make something for you to get a fully functional sunroof?

So does anyone have any opinions on what is superior for imperfect surfaces? Stripped viton+copper spray or only the factory viton? Also, can anyone explain to me what exactly it is about the Cometic gasket compared to the HKS that allows it to have a surface finish of 50RA compared to 30RA...

Ok well i have been on the local AZ Supras forum and im having a hard time finding a machine shop. Theres a lot of controversy over which one to go to. A lot of people have good experiences with one but then someone else had a bad experience with them. Im looking for a machine shop anywhere in...

Im wondering about the moly lube thing. Is it really safe to do this? TSRM calls to use engine oil for lube on the threads, and comparing it to arp ( 80ftlbs for moly and 120 ft lbs for oil) it seems like it would drastically change the torque
