---- some of these cars have 300,000 km's on them. Some have factory steel, some have fiber felpro style. I usally use victor steel, same as factory on the turbo cars with new head bolts. They all have craked heads to, in between the valve seats :P

I see a ton of turbo dodge's fail for nox on the e-test at my shop, if it's fairly close run it warm, but toss a big fan at the front, then take a garden hose and run it on the rad while doing the test, makes a huge difference on nox and will drop it up to 200-300 pnts...older accords suffer the same problem, usually do to clogged egr ports so they always fail nox as well....
