Yeah, what I said. :naughty:

I don't know if they're etched in or not, honestly. It might just be ink.

What are you having done to the block at the machine shop?

I was going to say that you should retorque to head first also. You might very well find that they've loosened a bit, especially the exhaust side.

You want to recirculate because the air has already gone thru the MAF, and the ECU has already sent the signal to the injectors to deliver to proper balance of fuel. If you don't reciculate, then the fuel gets into the cylinders, but the air has left the party early. I assume you're talking...

So... you don't need the 550's then?

Update- Got mine, they fit perfectly.

As promised, here's a pic of my Goodson shims:

Today's update- After work, I installed the new shims I received from Goodson.com, and installed my ex. cam to check clearance. After one last switch-around, I now have all clearances correct. I then installed the ex. manifold studs into the heli-coiled holes with locktite. Head is pretty much...

As I mentioned in another thread, Goodson.com has good prices(maybe the best) on 4-packs of 25mm shims. I just put a bunch in tonight, and will be posting a pic of the shims and the head( since it's finally frikken done!). The nice thing about the Goodson shims, is that they have the size...

I dunno either, but I would expect that if it's being forced into the cooler under X psi that it would prolly flow well no matter how you mounted it.

The item I linked to above goes vertically into the pan, so it would have to have the threaded bung welded into the bottom. As for point of leak, not a problem. It's a simple NPT thread, and you could just screw it in with some teflon tape or thread seal liquid and be done with it.

Yeah, I had a crazy oil leak once. My front crank seal blew out while driving from Charlotte to Atlanta in the middle of the night. I lost 3 quarts before I noticed the oi pressure was reading only slightly lower than normal.

Same here.

If it feels just the same, I'm wondering if you're starting to lean out on top, as you don't show ANY fuel mods in your description...

That was an awesome launch. It looked like a catapult shot.

I have seen online that it's been std equipment in quite a few cars, like BMW's, Audi's, VW's, and even Toyotas like the Previa and others. I was worried about cutting into the oil pan at the right height, and then worried about sealing issues, but then i found this item, originally made for...

Really? Good to know.

Yes, but are they <$3.50 each? I also found that you can pick up shims from certain years of the following engines: 3SFE 3SGE 5SFE 7AFE 4AGE(not sure) I just grabbed a bunch from the junkyard, between the sizes of 2.78mm and 2.9mm. If anyone needs some sent to them, LMK.

Hey- I've been rebuilding my cylinder head, but found that I needed thicker shims for my exhaust cam. In fact, I needed 11 after all the swapping around was finished. I picked up 4 from Toyota, and paid $8.50 each for them(which is not a bad deal). I've heard of them going for as much as $11...
