    about resurficing head & block

    Well actually no..... Composite gaskets work better with a coarser surface finish. As the head and block move in use the "teeth" from the cutter marks bite into the gasket giving a better seal. Can't do this with a MHG as it's non deformable, composites have .6mm of crush.

    ford 8.8 diff

    LMAO don't know about "best" as supplied it was a pileOshit and you couldn't turn corners without it skipping an inside wheel and clanking/crashing! (mine has the preload pack to prevent it losing drive if you lift a wheel)

    ford 8.8 diff

    This IS me being nice ;) Like most problems it CAN be solved by copius amounts of $$$, there's a HUGE aftermarket for the 9" so parts are really cheap and this offset's the custom parts needed to make it work.

    Need help with 1.5jz build

    J: If you head and parts check out ok no reason not to use them. You just need to 0 the Cams and sneak up on a safe setting on the Dyno, what worked for the 1J isn't going to be the same for the 2J. I'd be interested to see the insides of the 1J. (ring lands in specific)

    Need help with 1.5jz build

    Lots of overlap = low cylinder pressures so you can get away with the timing/boost you were running Less overlap ie: Your cam settings = High peak cylinder pressures and you either need to back the timing down or the boost or mechanical damge will happen. Why did you open the cams up so...
