Try Jeff @ Champion Toyo for your dealer parts needs: 17139437010. The Compcams valve springs are the wtg imho. Iirc, they are 975 12's, and you need 2 sets. hth

Congratulations, lets hope this build goes flawlessly from now on. A just reward for all the hard work. You did a nice job there. Gl on the last few details!

If you're going that far, I'd replace the oil pump, squirters, valve stem seals, & valve springs. If the hg has been replaced already before, ensure the block and head are within spec (ra & height-wise) for a proper mhg with arp's. You need to post horsepower goals and proposed engine use for...

Try getting prices for any dealer items you need from Jeff @ Champion.. I've saved money even with the duty cost. http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?siteid=213747 I use Thermotec's turbo blanket, it works ok and the price is right... http://www.thermotec.com/ don't forget new...

Use the W58 till it dies and build a R154 at your leisure. There must be a way to modify a new driveshaft subsequently without having to buy both.

Needs a triple Shogun spoiler, then I'd dream about doing things to it. But to each his own. Obviously alot of work went into it, paint looks good. Just not my cup of tea. (pun intended).

I use Ross pistons and they did slap a little when cold. Check your piston to bore numbers. I personally wouldn't go over 4.5 thou. Ensure your bores are round and not oversize. A couple thou makes a huge difference on these numbers, especially when the pistons are cold. Once my engine was warm...

Looks nice and clean, I'm not sure of the market there, but you could always offer $2k less and start the "haggle"...blue book is about $3600, so thats what insurance payout would be in the ballpark for (if it was a total loss).

Post engine, body and interior pics. $6k is on the high end, but if it's truly mint, then at least you won't be dumping money into all the usual stuff that needs replacing...a lot less headache to start with one thats good to begin with as well.

We should start a list of shops in North America that can/have fulfill(ed) our 7M requirements. If anyone has had proper engine job/machine work done by XXXXX's shop, the details could be posted.... of course ymmv, but at least it would be a starting point.

You should get min. 17 mpg city. Sounds like its time for a major tuneup. No codes? Compression good? Ever clean the injectors? You always do routine maintenance? Maybe check your timing, and try to get a 3" exhaust on it (after you fix your turbo). Could be skewed air/fuel and a bad tune.

Yep, a little vaseline and alot of "massaging"! No, this isn't some weird car-sex spinoff...

I've sewn/recovered a couple pre-89's. Not perfect, but the leather is perforated, and top quality. I had/have them for sale for $80.00 with core return, and no takers...

The work looks great! Will there be some kind of warranty ie. time/mileage?

Do a search for this and you'll find some info on it. There are wiring mods to be done with the cruise control, neutral bypass and back-up lights. Possibly others, (I'm still in the process myself).

I'm using this one on my Turbonetics, it seems to be good, and the price was right... you just have to cut it to fit. http://www.thermotec.com/

It depends on how you feel about the car. I still like the ride, so I'm not looking at other cars. It's time to sell when it's not a blast to drive anymore.

I was more referring to the 2nd set of numbers? I misunderstood the reference to the "inside cylinder circle" I guess...
