You can test the cps theory by removing the adjusting bolt, to allow the cps to turn farther than normal. That way you can turn it into a 'correctly' timed position, if that's indeed the problem. If you can get it to run by turning it either way, then you know you have to re-time the cps.

You know what pisses me off? Just found out today that HPF no longer carries the oem JDM lip. Damnit. Shoulda bought one when I had the chance...

I've never had a problem tightening or loosening the rear(or any) nuts while it's in the car. I can tell you that it takes a narrow socket to loosen or tighten in general, but the only thing cam-wise, is you haveto rotate the cams a bit in order to torque/ loosen all the nuts. I think one thing...

Looks super. Looking fwd to getting mine.

PS- It's literally only $10 more for head studs. Just sayin. http://thmotorsports.com/i-61534.aspx?utm_source=GoogleShopping&utm_medium=CSE&utm_content=61534NOFITMENT&utm_campaign=GoogleShoppingSeanNOFITMENT

Great work so far. As for your studs- it's not uncommon for them to unscrew from the head. Just remove the nuts from them. Check the threads of the studs- is there any aluminum in them? If not, you might be ok. Make sure the threads are clean and well oiled. Or, you can get new studs from the...

As far as the compression worries- if you dont plan on decking the block during this build, i dont see an issue. I guess you might mean that you're worried about it rising if they cut the head, though? ARP bolts should be fine for your plans, though i myself wouldn't spend ~$90 on bolts when i...

Great job. A few things i would recommend; use arp studs for the rebuild. They are much stronger and are reuseable. Use either a felpro or oem head gasket- better design than most replacement gaskets. Helicoil the exhaust manifold threads. This will allow you to keep factory tension on the...

Well, i wont be putting the front end back together for a long time. Still have to do the drivetrain upgrades before i even think about the body.

More pics? Of what?

Hey- no i dont live in the area, im from Atlanta. I had flown in for work and was on my way to the hotel. Nice car!

It's VERY close to the front resevoir.

Driveshaft Shop. Driving on it now for 5 yrs. Nothing to complain about with it.

Update- After throwing a fender on the front, I can now see that there really isn't any increase in the track width. Aside from the fact that I currently have the front way too far out on negative camber, the wheels still fit just fine under the front fenders.

No, no update. The supplier claims they are out of stock for at least a month. That's why no updates, and why I haven't named the supplier, since I don't know if I'm even going to get these things, or if I'm going to just get taken(they have my money)...

Looking good...in the hood, apparently.

I never though about this, but should replacing that be part of a rebuild?

And they honed the pistons? ok.

Thanks. This will be a slow point in the build, as i need to start buying more parts before anything can really be done.
