Yes you can have the timing case milled separately, make sure the same amount is milled from each. I had to do that as I didn't realize they needed to be machined together. However, you need to have the head off to properly seal the head gasket. Having said all of that, I do not recommend having...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't you need bigger injectors than 550's to run E85?
This site is geared towards Mustangs, but still has a lot of good basic info about E85.

You also should upgrade your fuel pump. Tuning is highly recommended, I would say necessary, but some will beg to differ. They are probably the same ones that blame the car when it breaks.

I'm going to venture to guess that you have done some research, but you want to torque the head to about 70 ft-lbs. I have seen people go as high as 80, and one guy who went 90, I wouldn't recommend that. 70-75 is good. Also, make sure the head and deck are in spec and have appropriate RA to the...
Its for that reason I chose to have my machine shop do it. Three questions you should ask yourself (this holds true in almost any kind of work you do on your car, not just this situation):
Can I easily screw it up? (Can be due to lack of experience or tools)
Is screwing it up likely to cause...
You really don't pay attention or know what you're talking about, do you? Turbo feed, 2nd Knock sensor, oil squirters are just some of the differences I can think of off the top of my head. ALMOST doesn't cut it on these motors.

Yes, thanks for specifying, I don't know why I didn't. I used red as well.
Here is an awesome video of one letting go on a Honda. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-2KiubBNMQ&feature=player_embedded

When I bought my car, it didn't have EGR, but it did have a hole in the block. Boost wasn't pushed past 10-12 PSI (Stock AFM and injectors), HG was intact when I did the teardown. There is a lot of argument as to whether or not removing EGR can cause this damage, but the lack of EGR is the only...
Usually, a plugged cat is caused by one of three things:
1) A lot of short trips that cause the cat to become coated with sulfur because it never gets up to temp.
2) Extra unburned fuel melting the cat either from running extremely rich causing the cat to melt, or (more likely) a misfire that...
Good to hear, I was kinda worried that you messed up the splines when you tried pushing it in with the jack (not trying to bash on you, I've screwed up dumber things, lol), so I'm glad to hear it went well.

Wait, you tried to use the jack to push the splines together? Or am I reading that wrong? It sounds like the splines might me chewed up for some reason, it should slide right in.

I hope you took her license plate down, and file a police report if you haven't. Something similar happened to me, and the cops told me that they couldn't do anything as far as giving him a ticket, but I should inspect my car as he could be held liable if there was any damage. I don't know how...
I think I will eat your first born if you put that in the Supra. And I'm the person who would put a 5M in a Mk IV. LOL, jk, its your car, make it your own.
