    1j or 2j swap

    I guarantee you that whatever little problem the 7M is giving you, you'll have far worse with the new motor... They're NOT "drop in" and never will be. You're also looking at an unknown engine that has more than likely sat in a junkyard for a long time outside and exposed...

    No boost/ Whinin Noise Idles fine

    It will sound like a whine, yeah, I was missing TWO nuts on mine, and replacing the hardwar didn't work. Had to find the stock supports that were all missing from a previous owner and then they haven't backed off since...

    Head/Spark Plug Insert Question

    That's questionable, though from what I've heard top fuel dragster's run em. The nice thing about time-serts is they are removable with a reverse thread extraction tool (EZ out) and a new insert can be installed. The main thing that sold it for me is that it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to screw...

    Head/Spark Plug Insert Question

    No, helicoil isn't strong enough (and has other issues). Helicoil makes an insert for sparkplugs, but it leaves too much to chance. TIME-SERT Buy it, use it, don't even have to worry about it again. I've had to do it myself and I'll tell you what, the new threads are much more durable...
