Found a little oil residue while working. I decided to pull the head off and resurface the head
This simple job is turning into a full rebuild lol

Oh man, I love the NT03s. There is something just so sexy. I don't believe they're much heavier than the RPF1s, but much better looking IMO. Great job sticking out the build this long and maintaining such a long going build thread. Best of luck.

nice build
Nice thread and good looking build. Those NT01in bronze look great on your black car.
I think I met you last summer at Waterford racetrack. I had the white Evo 9 with the Varis bits. Good to hear your car is back on the road. Is there a shop you recommend for installs in SE MI?
