My last post I said I forgot my phone at home..And I am STILL at work.. Somehow we managed to trip a 3000 AMP breaker at work in the middle of a test.. The breaker had a 1 foot lever you had to rachet about 10 times to preload the spring.. yikes.

DOn't know about evo's, but my buddy has one in his STI, and I like it alot. Nice engagement, really smooth, and very easy to drive. The Exedy Stage one is nice too though. I've driven a few Evos with them. More for lower hp and torque, but very smooth and easy for DD. I ordered the HD version as it holds a bit more power.

Vince said it skipped on the crank side. Don't know the extent of the damage yet, he's going to pull the head next week sometime.

I wish I would have installed that BS eliminator kit when I did the timing belt back in Oct.

Chu if you use the pulley tension tool and tq everything down you will have no issues. Mark did you do the timing belt? or someone else? did you replace the hydraulic tensioner as well?

The timing belt was done at the same time as the balance shaft belt and the hydrualic tensioner was replaced also.

Chu knowing what I know now I wouldn't hesitate to do it. I was worried about extra noise messing with the knock sensors so I decided to keep them in there.
