I've done this before on Honda's and I saw it done on a 1g a long time ago where you zip tie the cam gears and timing belts together and just put tension on the Tbelt . Then unbolt the head and slide it off to change the head gasket. I really don't want to nor have the ability to do the T belt...

I am about to run and make a SS line but I need to know the thread pitch for the whole so I can pick out the right fitting. Being that I can't drag my motor their makes it a little difficult. I thought it was a pipe thread so I figured I can't just run a bolt in to find out the size.
Ok I am in the process of assembling my motor (complete rebuild).I bought a new frontcase/oil pump with gears from ROCK. We are putting the oil pump sprocket on and it seems as if its hitting barely on the front cover. Is their a spacer I am missing for the oil pump gear or should I file...
Welp my motor started knocking/ticking the other day and I've gotten tired of putting work into a worn motor (160K). So I am pulling the motor to tear it down and get it ready to take to the machine shop. I already ordered .20mm over Weisco pistons and Eagle rods. I am gonna run ARP head bolts...
Ok I just put a twisted tuning clutch in my car. 4puck unsprung and George's pressure plate. The only reason i went with such a radical change in clutch is my old 3000lb pressure plate was giving me issues with not wanting to idle and just to damn heavy! This clutch offered good grab and almost...

oil drain line flange is hitting one bolt on the compressor housing. If I have all of them in accept this one bolt will the compressor housing suffer?I already tried dremeling some of the flange away for it to clear but its not gonna happen.
Ok I am wanting to buy a stock crate engine just don't wanna band-aid my motor with all its miles. I'd rather have a fresh start. Well the motor uses 1g big rods but ROCK pistons which are an OEM "spec" piston. I want to know if these pistons can hold up to the same amount of abuse that the...
