    "The Rebuild" (with extras)

    Seen a few broken like that, it's a good argument for deburring the entire block ;)

    Some pics of blown MHG with ARP studs, any ideas why?

    Unless they've been torqued to 130+ft/lbs I wouldn't be too concerned at the ARP's, I used to replace the Nuts every 5th tear down. You need to run a chaser down each bolt hole in the deck, I use a tiny smear of assembly lube on each stud and spin them in by hand, more assembly lube on the...

    Be surprised how well a Composite will hold up with a solid tune, my TT V8 in the 240z ran 30psi all day on them.

    One at a time so you don't get Coolant and Oil under the HG.

    Some pics of blown MHG with ARP studs, any ideas why?

    Unless you use a composite.... Even then the fact it's blown a HG at all I wouldn't reuse it as is but that's just me I try not to build grenades ;)

    Personal opinion based on experience, it's always needed....

    Some pics of blown MHG with ARP studs, any ideas why?

    Was the deck surfaced? Was the timing case done at the same time? Did it get a retorque?

    Are coilovers really worth it?

    When the Tire hits the inner fender.... There is only xx room above the tire no magic shock is going to alter this fact. for 95% of people a well matched Spring/Damper combination will do the trick, no use having 99 way adjustable shocks if only 4 of those adjustments suit the car dynamics...

    Cost of a 7mgte?

    As I said I ripped one up with much less than that, it did make STUPID low/mid range though as it was a GT30r with a .63 AR, went dead flat/choked at 5000 but would boost off idle.... You could feel the 58 getting sadder each day ;)

    Cost of a 7mgte?

    Maybe in perfect condition in an I-4 or a rotary, 3.0L Turbo I-6 is another matter...

    Cost of a 7mgte?

    I stressed a fresh rebuilt w58 with less than that.... It's the Torque that tears them up, in addition to that most 58's have worn through the hardening on the mainshaft snout by now and the shit selection of clutches available and it just doesn't make sense.
