    3000Gt Projectors for a 2g retro?

    Valve Stem Issues

    I actually just replaced mines. I had a smoke problem at idle, said it was a blown headgasket/valve stems/etc. Found out that my head was cracked.

    downpipe question

    I have a megan DP thats 2.5" into the 3" apexi full exhaust. the flex section of the DP had to be replaced because it was too big and started leaking, but now its replaced and running fine with a smaller flex. I recommend a good gasket. GL in game 7, BRUINS FTW.

    possible to slip timing belt on after a headgasket change

    is it possible to do the balance shaft removal kit at this point? Im planning on removing all the pulleys, engine mount, and extras. Then support the motor with a jack. Is this sufficient enough to do the whole job?
