the one i needed was an 1 1/4in. napa measured it. Autozone, advance, napa, pepboys, and local stores - parts for imports and crown auto didn't have it. Then found one (south jersey auto) that did; $2)The guy from napa said to use the aviation form a gasket. the directions said to clean the...

It looks like its squirting/leaking from the innter part of the plug, not the area between the plug and the head.This leaky head was purchased from concept illusions and also had a couple of stripped valve cover threads... I'll be calling to let them know how i feel about that. You pay$1000...

Thank you for the reply.I told myself that maybe engine overbore didn't torque the arp stud kit to 85ft lbs like the arp directions said so i gradually went to that mark and they were that tight. i turned them a little bit more. put stuff back together and turned it on.small leak/drip...

I have a lot here because I want to give you the background and my current problem. For the past couple of years I've been getting the parts I need to build a car that I'd be content with (have a Hahn stage ll kit on the shelf too). I ordered the Lower End parts from Modern Performance (eagle...

thanks for the response. i've dealt with CI once for the larger (than stock) TB. I purchased it before i planned on going turbo and received it within a week. i'd imagine a head would take a few weeks (4 to 6)... just hope its not 4 to 6 months... I'm going to want to talk to sean (?) before i...

thank you... i also forgot to mention that "while i'm there" i'm planning on a new fly wheel and clutch and I plan on driving this car daily...

I'm currently just about done pulling a motor to build while my stocker is running as a my daily driver. Any input or opinions (whether critical or not) are appreciated...As far as the below, It is what i currently have or have planned on getting. I regards to gauges, I'm not sure but have...

<img src="http://dsmtuners.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=23607&stc=1&d=1075591570">in this picture theres a black rubber cap/condom over the vac i used. On my car the line goes from their to the back of the intake manifold. I had a clear rubber hose available that I used and it...

It will make a difference, but it'd be even more noticeable if you had a cold air intake, and a modified (bored & polished) or aftermarket intake maifold.As long as you disconnect the battery, install the bored out TB, and then hook the battery back up to start it. you should be fine. I...

thank you, greatly appreciated...take care and merry christmas

the other post says that the intake is at 6 o'clock and the exhaust at 12 o'clock. i'm confused, when i had the after market cam gears put on, he didn't know how to line them up. there was a mark on each cam (just like the factory) and a mark above each cam on the plastic cam cover.i would...

yup, like mine, it looks like it needs a new paint job

i actually purchased that TB. Got it really quick. looks like he did an awesome job. i'll have to clean it out like you said. i'm waiting on a ported and polished intake manifold and then i'll put it on...

you're annoying...

mine doesn't. it did. Two different shops replaced the valve cover gasket (one was with my brother and the other was with me) and it still leaked. Mitsubushi stated that i needed to have my head gasket replaced. they said i should get it done because if it has gone by now it would. loli...

I have a pacesetter high-flow cat with a N-1 catback exhaust... Love it. it has a nice purr with the silencer but without it it is very loud and sounds like it's from the ghetto. loll jt. it's just to loud for my taste (thats WITHOUT the silencer. With it, i am very happy)

sorry, chief. i don't know.I've been wondering the same thing.Can anybody that has replaced it help out???

I beat a mustang GT once...it was neck & neck for awhile, but i finally put it away when the tow truck made a turn.sorry guys i felt like i had to add to this awesome thread.

don't make the same mistake as me though. i thought all i needed was one of the plastic clips with the spring (which i did). but i also had a piece broken on the rear slider which wasn't a clip. it was a molded piece of plastic that was broken and i ended up ordering the rear section of the...

before that, make sure you park it in the garage, let it run for a half hour then go in the garage and check and double check your tire pressure... :laugh:

i have a '97GS 5spd and it drips and drop or five of oil every night also, and towards the driver as well. i thought that i saw some on top of the valve cover (i'll have to make sure it wasn't just a couple of drips that got away :pThe Mitsu dealer said that it was head gasket. Took it...

whats broken on it? the little spring loaded piece or one of the molded pieces...Mine kept coming off the track and i saw that one of the little plastic pieces was broken (that is spring loaded). i ordered it from mitsu. installed it and it still was messing up.the slider that you pull...

what type of 'Flat Black' paint do you use? At the auto stores i see the krylon Satin blk and gloss blk but no flat black. I also see allot of the high temp black paint.what did you guys use to make it no 'shine' so much.

i have tinted taillights as well but haven't been pulled over (yet...) during the day when i do see one though i just flip on the lights till they're out of sight.

i love threads like this that go way overboard.cause i paint cars for the king of england that cost $100,000 all the time, i can't believe anybody would pay less than $1000 for a paint job. lolhow about people with mortgages,and kids, and other things to spend money on than their car...

you can also hook your ipod up to the deck as a changer (if you don't already have on) and if your deck supports a changer. the volume is allot louder than the kits that you buy and you don't have to buy that alpine box for a hundred and some dollars...
