ive worked on a 280z turbo engine , toyota 22ret factory turbo engine, and a miata engine (twice :P) all were new barings rings and seals. built with factory parts. and all are living happy lives =)

ic what your saying...since they were used before you under torqued them they are still streached.....id say get a new pair ready just incase you blow another head gasket

yeah some bolts are better quality than others, some are torque to yield ext...

So is it ready to come up an play with the beast?
Or you gonna hide in oregon....Just ribbin ya...Anyway seems like you can tear that thing down in your sleep now.I wouldnt worry to much about those head bolts if they didnt break when you torqued them down then they are gonna do just fine.

they tried to get me to admit to it so they could dish out some fines

cop: "so you got a lead foot"
me: "no"
silence... looks around
cop: "so what, the car is pretty fast"
me: "no, its just a car"
sighs...
cop: "well take it to the track next time"
me: "ok bye"

accordepicenter

ehh cops have only showed up at my house 1x or 2x... that was when i used to assclown around town back in the day. Now im still open dp and cops still dont give it a second look

do u every use copper spray or anything on your hg when u reuse them, ive used it on all head gaskets if im re-using them works good.

USS

I've heard copper spray works well, but I've seen some Ford manuals that say to spray the head gaskets with aluminum paint. Straight up aluminum paint. Anybody else ever heard of this?

BTW, car sounds bad ***

I had a sheriff come to my house once after blowing by his house at 135. That was kinda funny. I was on my bike btw.
