    Fidanza or Stock Flywheel??

    Duane and a few others all used the stock flywheel so they wouldn't weld the clutch... I don't trust the RPS MAX PP at all, too many people have killed their motors with it...

    Fidanza or Stock Flywheel??

    I run a stock flywheel with my 6 puck clutch, it's very streetable. Any yep, the less actual clutch material the harsher the clutch and the more it tends to hold (counter intuitive). Full face (stock), 8 puck, 6 puck, 4 puck, 3 puck (yep, they're made, and I'd hate to drive one...)

    Steering Damper,

    Pre-89 has them. Sounds like your car either isn't a real 89, or someone swapped it. The power steering pump was also given a smaller pulley to supply more pressure to the rack to account for the loss of dampening.

    What octane and is it worth the price?

    It's not an upgrade if that's your car as your avatar... Don't sell the N/A for this rustbucket, if anything I'd: - talk him down - take what you need to put in the N/A car - partout the rest

    My Extremely Blown Head Gasket!

    Yep, that's pretty damn bad LOL But it supports my point that if the stock style headgasket starts to leak, a retorque isn't going to help as the sealing rings have alreayd shifted. Looks like the oil passages stayed sealed, so you should be safe! I'd still flush the system like jdub said...
