    Headgasket coating question

    I'm not disagreeing with you that it is not needed, and I appreciate the mutual respect we share. I think .001 is just not a thick enough viton coating for the 7m in particular. Their recommendations would probably hold true for 99% of the headgaskets they make, but we all know the 7m kinda...

    Headgasket coating question

    Using a "victor reinz" metal headgasket might be something you would want to rethink. Also, "some sealers" does not apply to Permatex copper spray with a HKS metal headgasket, I am sure of that. I had a HKS stopper mhg blow on the first engine I built for myself a long time back when I first got...

    Headgasket coating question

    The RA on our blocks and heads is better then most shops can even do with their equipment. <7 RA. I'm not getting on you about it personally, I'm just stating my experience. This is one of the "unsubstantiated rumors" that are on my pet peeve list, so sorry if I get all huffy about it. LOL...

    Headgasket coating question

    LOL, I have about 10 7m engines built with copper permatex on a brand new HKS mhg that says different. Never had a bhg since using the copper spray, some have seen 20+ psi. Where do you guys get this info? The viton coating is just not thick enough to seal properly on all deck and head surfaces...

    MAFT-Pro Tuning Thread Unofficial and Uncensored

    I know you're being sarcastic. The maft pro itself is a great unit, especially considering the features it has for the money. The issue has never been getting a good stable afr under full thottle, and that is all it takes from a piggyback to make good dyno numbers. The problem has been poor...

    MAFT-Pro Tuning Thread Unofficial and Uncensored

    The problem I was having with the afr was a ground issue. I used the ecu sensor ground rather then the ground for the oxygen sensor itself, duh. So after doing that Tommy's car is running pretty good with 4.67. I can't really test the boost control until the engine is broken in. I agree about...

    Random Snapshot thread

    I enjoy doing a little amateur photography myself. I took all these while on various vacations to The Redwoods, Oregon, Washington, Canada, Las Vegas and Florida. I really like taking pictures of animals.

    1JZ with a Ct26!?!

    I am getting a quote on a professionally made tig welded mandrel stainless version right now. It will realistically be several weeks or a month before I have a prototype on a car. If someone is interested in beta testing this let me know. I would do it but the problem is that I don't have a car...

    drilled vs slotted rotors.. or neither

    I bet that was caused by loose lug nuts or improper wheel fitment, not from the outside of the rotor.
