Dude, your sister is hot. Hook it up! :thumb:

Apparently you have a crap load of driver error..... Per Profile: Drivetrain Modifications: Shep Trans Stage 3 (now grinding)Gotta love a grinding "Shep Trans Stage 3". :ohdamn:Anyways, back on topic. I love my auto. Ive had 4 DSMs before all 5spd. Do I miss them sometimes, yes...

Sucks that you are thinking of leaving. If you were closer Id buy your 1g as it sits. Ive gathered alot of good info from you throughout the years. Hope you decide to come back to DSMs soon.PS.....PM me about your valve cover.

It looks like 3" pipe for a bit more than 3 inches. The whole problem with the 4" was the bend right off the turbo. The OP did a great job with the bend and the whole exhaust. 3" tubing is a bit easier to make the bend. Im not saying yours looks bad, I like it, its just easier to make the bend...

Got my HX40 for free. I just paid for the rebuild and the t3 housing. :D

Great Job! Any detailed specs on the car?

It looks great! This is one of the most non restrictive 4" exhausts Ive seen. Looks like your doing a great job, keep it up! :thumb: Got to love those forward facing oil filters!Yours looks like its a 3" to 4". His is a straight 4". Its nice, but doesn't really compare.

Those were some pretty good gains for going to SD. Congrats on the dyno numbers. I'd like to see the duty cycles too. Got the log?

So, it would have to be from the head? If there was no cracks, then it lifted, right?Ive seen these before. Honestly, Im not too worried about crank walk. Its a 98 and auto. These would be good insurance though. I kinda just want to throw the motor back in, 100% stock pistons rods etc, and...

Oil pressure was normal before I pulled the motor, everything what just how it was supposed to be. The coolant was in the oil, there was no oil in the coolant. My headgasket was fine, there was no cracks or rips. There is a coolant line running to the OFH, could it have leaked threw there?

Its not like there are a ton of shavings. There was 1 metal shaving so Im pretty sure nothing is 'chewed up'. Im not a big dyno person, but I want to run 10's on a stock bottom end.A built motor is a built motor. Im all about the 7 bolts but Ill build a 6 bolt if I need to.Thanks. The car...

Okay, so today me and a buddy pulled apart the motor of my 2g auto. This is my first time tearing apart the motor. I was planning on building/ porting my head and leaving the stock bottom end on the car. There is a couple of issues we came across. I found that I have coolant in the oil. The...

The valve cover looks awesome! Where did you get the manifold studs from?

Thanks guys. The motor has never over heated at all. Is there any other head gaskets that I can run with out decking my block?

Currently, my head is getting built at the machine shop. I'm not sure if I need to resurface my block too. I'm thinking of running the mls headgasket. Any ideas of what I need to do?
