I found a 1G DSM FWD car that has bent valves, the guy said he'd take $800 for it. So I'm prob. going to buy it.
The question is......... When I replace the valves, what else needs to be replaced on the head? New Guides I think, but I'm worried about the valves seating. I want to replace the valves with Ferrea stock sized valves, but I'm not totally sold on that yet. When I get the replacement valves ( stock or ferrea ) am I going to have to get a 3 angle valve job or what ?
I paid $1350 for just replacing the bent valves in my TT Stealth with oversized ones, but that was for machining ,parts, 5-angle, and decking etc. I'm not going to run 10s in this car, and I want to put as little moeny in it as possible ( the Stealth sucks me dry ).
Will the tranny and CV axles hold up to Drag radials ?? I want an AWD, but this is going to be my girlfriends daily driver, so an AWD would be a clutch burning nightmare !! I do plan on punishing it on weekends though... Stealth from a stop or DSM from a role ?? hehe...
These are pretty simple questions, and I reallize you guys like DSMs better, but please no "sell the stealth and hook up the DSM" commits. Here is what I have figured so far..
Head studs ARP
Mistu 3layer head gasket
poly motor mounts
$150 timing belt kit
Ferrea or stock mistu valves and new guides?
Am I going to need any machine work ? Anything missing ?
If its going to be a big machine work, new valves, and this and that, I may just hit up the DSM trader for a used head with "non" bent valves.
Talon and Stealth, two non-mistus. that are mistu. What does TSI mean?
