thats a unique stand thing.

so one of my exhaust stud thread holes is messed up. i was puttin in the new threads, feelin it out with my fingers and all of them went in except one, when i try to screw it in, its all slanted. seems to be crossthreaded, i might of fucked it up because that all i've been doing lately...well...

cool, so what size are the 12 point nuts with arp studs? and also, is that hex on the top of the stud 5mm?does it say it on the package?

hey where does it say R154 or W58 on the trans? my friend said he can sell me his, but i wanna know if its an R154. It's off an NA, but he said he bought a clutch for an NA and it didnt fit and a turbo oem clutch did. he would sell it to me with a brand new clutch. would buying a W58 be a bad idea?

so i went to this machine shop. it was very chill there. you know, older guys workin' on domestic things, and it was much like a big house with extensions. so anyway the guy was real cool there, he did it right away and he even let me try a couple with the machine he was workin it. he charged 30...

cool, gotcha, thanks. so do those index pins usually fall off or something?

did you have to sand the whole engine bay?

well i thought i'd put all the valves in, put the springs in with the bottom retainers that are already on the springs because of their tight fit, and just hand them that and a box of keepers/retainers. all they'd have to do is work their magic tool. no? question: do the keepers and top...

ok, so i should clean the block and head surface with the alcohol like i said before, spray both(?) sides of the head gasket with that copper shit and lay everything down without corrections, correct?

okay another question. i'm using a toyota oem HG. does that go on dry?, just clean all the surfaces and the gasket with alcohol? also, how many gallons of coolant will i need? im goin to toyota tommorrow. im gonna run straight water on initial startup and run it for a couple minutes and flush...

if i was for an pre89 i woulda probably been able to get you one, damn.

so my instructor seemed to have fixed it for me. basically he took a flower shaped scotch brite pad thing on a head porting drill tool and gave it one pass. so basically he polished it. the lifter bucket fits right in to the bore and i don't feel any excess side to side play. he said it will be...

well covered baboon. so you say you got your valve cover gaskets changed not too long ago? if your gonna do it yourself, use some kind of RTV and new bolts as baboon mentioned.

strangely, i totally understand.

haha, someone get the man a harness!

gotcha, i'll be sure to point it out to my instructor, thanks

what would you say to rework it with? emery cloth? my instructor's gonna look at it, he'll make a judgement. thanks for the tool link but one..im not buyin a 3rd valve tool, and two...im givin it to the machine shop to install the valves like i should of in the first place.

oh wow, you're only like 8 miles from my house in jersey! why havent we realized this before? hah. yeah i am interested but will probably take any action on this transmission situation until i get the car actually running. i'm not far from finished so i'll probably get back to you soon.

okay, i'll try doing that, but if that fails, i'd just like to know...how much work is it to drop the tranny and throw in a new one?
