Agreed with reporting them... just to be clear, what color is the smoke ? If you put your hand by the tail pipe, is oil still covering it ? Did they replace the valve seals ? Valves ? Did you get the answers to my questions about engine clearances ?

Thanks - shoot me a pm if you happen upon it? Would make life a bit easier.

@Josh
Those seem quite useful...i'd never seen them mentioned before. Especially being able to lock the cams in place, had to redo the belt on a 300zx engine 3 damn times cause one of the gears kept deciding to roll a bit.

So i need some help. Working on a guys evo 9 RS. swapping the clutch out and i feel bad cause there was so many issues wrong with his car that he didnt know about. But the bolts on the transmission were the wrong size and someone used washers to keep them from bottoming out.

Does anyone know or have the bolts for the top two on the bellhousing? if you know the size i can just get them from the local fastenall. ill just get them in bulk.

I know im being lazy haha. i can just pull them off the other evo next to it. Im thinking out loud now haha.

lol... Robert, you can always add a resonator in line. Could also talk to Matt about the exhaust. He may be looking for a 3.5.
