You people be crazy.

Oh and hating Jews doesn't make you a racist. It makes you predjudice or a Jew hater.

 

you guys have any suggestions for what else i should do while I have my head off?

i was thinking about the following:

installing the HKS 280 cams I have sitting around
new springs (which ones?)
new retainers (which ones?)
new valve stem seals (which ones?)
new headgasket - OEM seems like what everyone uses
ARP studs
timing belt (gates)

Originally I was gonna go balistic with pulling the motor, having the head done, boring the block and increasing displacement, but then I came to the realization that nothing is as reliable as OEM, so thats what I want to stick with (or as close to reasonably possible).

 

Go with the oem timing belt too. As for springs and all that I have no clue.

MR MR you got the right tranny. Talked to our mech today and he said the ford tranny offers a better warranty for the same price. But when it comes time for a motor get some prices from Jasper.

 

Your RIGHT, no wonder why I got a C on that book report.

 

According to Wikipedia, you are wrong....

Haters gonna hate!

 

Jeff, why do you suggest the OEM belt over the gates?

 

GSC no tick lifters
Headgames ported head
VC gasket
cam seals
spark plug hole seals
Large diameter breather lines and fittings
injector seals and o rings
plugs and COP from Josh

 

Head Games = best head shop around in our area.

 

When I was doing my 60K I was going to get the gates. I few people told me to stick with the oem. It is cheaper and it lasted the last 60K so I stayed oem

 

you can find threads about gates belts making noise-
either way you know OEM works... gates just adds another variable in the future.

 

I use gates timing,balance, and accessory belts with no problems

 

don't forget Petey you're the Chuck Norris of the philly evo community.

When Petey launches the car- the earth stops spinning or spins faster depending which direction he launches.

 

Thanks for the advice Petey. I think I'm going to skip the ported head... just don't feel like waiting around and besides I'm on the stock block still, I can already make enough power to blow the motor if I wanted to. Same with the COP setup, haven't experienced any misfires @ 27psi with my BR8ES's yet. I am however going to look into the GSC stuff. Is there really THAT much of a gain on the stock IX turbo over the HKS cams I have?

 

BTW, you guys were talking about books and ****, well I just killed a bunch of time reading about that ***** from Duke who wrote her final paper on the dudes she banged... good read!

 

I like the GSC Beehive spring and retainer setup myself. I don't care for the Gates belts though. For headstuds, I like the ARP L19 or the AMS kit...expensive, but nice stuff.
