    Does the 7MGTE oil pan need modification?

    Been running one quite a few years now, my car will pull just under 1g sustained and I've never had a bearing issue :) (I was running a Group A Magnesium pan as well but I ran a stock pan for a few years without a failure thanks to the accumulator and +1Qt always)

    Is this a true HKS manifold?

    I'm talking about their cast headers/manifolds all of them have the raised HKS cast in (that I've seen) ;)

    "HKS" is cast into all of the genuine ones I've seen.

    rounded off arp's

    Good luck getting enough room to use an extractor as their bodies are larger than the counterbore in the head. If it were me I'd grab a 12.5mm drill (1/2" will work as it's 12.7mm) and drill down into the allenkey socket in the top of the stud till the nuts pops off then replace the stud and...

    Consider a 3qt accumulator as extra protection.

    Couple questions, oil pump shaft bearings, cylinder size

    If they're in spec and there is no surface degradation they're fine to use. That needs boring due to the vertical scar.

    Clutch time.... Multi disk clutchs

    Eric: Last one I did was based on an NA ACT street/strip clutch but not really "cheaper" once you factor in the machine time to make the floater from scratch. But it was close to stock pedal pressure and silent and never ever slipped no matter what I did to it. (did chatter a little in...

    The 321 version of the same thing while a little more exe gave great service on my 7M under extreme conditions.

    What would cause this Nightmare!

    They advertise them as "monotorque" gaskets but in my experience with the 7M this is some sort of rude joke as there's at least 2 bolts that are down 5ft/lbs compared to the rest (#11 and #12) I think this is somewhat due to the 30c temp difference from the front of the head to the rear so I...
