You can paint the whole thing...the belts will wear the paint away and keep rust from forming.

RC = Lucas disc type injector :thumbup: Venom = Reworked (for more flow) stock pintle type injector :thumbdown

Studs are better....use the torque spec that comes from ARP with the set. Keep in mind there is more required to install a MHG. Both the block and head will need to be decked to meet the RA spec for the MHG used. Do a search on MHG here...this has been pretty much been beat to death.

It will rust...fairly quickly too. I'd just use black engine paint.

Oh yeah...321 is def better. I've coated several 304 manifolds and none have cracked...all were coated on the inside though in addition to the outside. A real pain to do correctly ;) Edit: Just looked at your link...for $25 extra for 321 is the way to go!

IJ is correct...if you have this manifold ceramic coated, it will be pretty much bullet proof.

Studs provide a more constant clamping force and resist stretch. Bolts are easier to install; you don't have to get the head above the studs to get it on. Both will require a re-torque after 4-5 heat cycles.

You sir are a lucky man ;) That's what I was trying to get him to do as well. Re-setting the ECU may well help, but if the photo transistor is toast...party over.

Nice write up :bigthumb:

Same here...the flat markers are the way to go. If you produce a set of clear front markers, I'll be one of the 1st in line to grab a set ;)

Do you have any ECU codes present?

Use a 14mm, 12 point, 3/8" drive deep socket w/ a 3/8" to 1/2" adapter to fit your torque wrench. I used Craftsman...worked great.

Yeah...I'll tell ya, installing the EGR with the motor in the car is a real PITA. My hands are def showing the "battle scars" from putting the damn thing in. I'm going to run this as is for the next couple weeks to see if there is any change...if there is, I'll post it!

Good read Gentlemen...I stand corrected. I was under the impression that a wire tap required a court order and that had not changed. It appears the Bush Administration is using the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to eavesdrop on call originating or directed to overseas locations. I...

IJ corrected me in another thread...I thought it was 1.0mm myself.

You mean like this one ;) The stock pulley weights 11 lbs...the ATI w/ AC pulley weights 6.5 lbs.

Actually the stock gasket is 1.37mm thick compressed. You took off .5mm...I would go with a 2.0mm MHG.

Got a link to that info Greg? That's new to me.
