    Well, there is a difference between no machine work, and no machine work, no prep and no prevention. I did mine with a trust metal gasket, ARP's and a nice surface on the head. I cleaned it up and prepped the surface with some 3m pads then clean clean clean. Then I thoroughly checked the block...

    Hey Bigaaron, Do you have any clues as to what might have caused that condition? Im asking because while Im new to the 7m, Ive built many 4ag's, and my first impression of the 7m (having only taken one apart) is that it is remarkably similar to the 4ag... only bigger and with 2 more...

    more boost, better idle - updated pics of poopra

    Indiana ST185 nut - MK3 owner wanna be

    Hey John, trust me, no arm twisting required. I have an idea... Since you can only drive one at a time I say we strike a deal. You can spend money on my Supra and we can pretend like you own it. Ill let you drive it whenever you want and even keep it at your house. :icon_bigg: See, you get all...
