      Bought those same snap ring pliers.... Made removing the rear rings a 10 second job.

      Gonna have to go get that bearing kit tomorrow - only thing left to finish up my rears. How much was it - and are you planning to keep it? I'll toss ya some cash to borrow it if you are.

            It was around $110. I am going to keep it but not sure when I'll start the install. I'm thinking Monday.

            Any chance you're heading towards Oshkosh this weekend then and wanna test mule to try it out?

                  Lost to a modified green twin turbo body Supra today. 3rd gear on the freeway and 4th up to 120 he got me by a car. I was on his back fender the whole time. Ugh!!!

                  He slowed down and said "Nice sleeper!! How much power??" Excited and piss3d at the same time... I gotta find out what power he was making.

                  Hooked up my speedo temporally with wire nuts and took off my mud flaps. Car is running a lot smoother with the speedo hooked up.

                  All that racing was in Mexico, fyi.

                        Arent you running an MLS or o-ringed stock gasket currently?

                        Im interested to see where the gasket failed or if the head studs lost a little tension and the head lifted

                          MLS.

                          I've been waiting for this to happen. The last thing that kummrow did that I haven't gotten my hands on to fit the right way.

                                Wrip off the head tonight and try to take the cams out without snapping them.

                                Take the head to the machine shop and get it inspected. Order appropriate MLS head gasket after the head is machined if it needs it.

                                Install.

                                  I'll see when I take the head off if the bolts are the same in terms of tightness.

                                    Did you retorque the head studs after a few heat cycles on the engine?

                                        I forget the exact time that should be done, but I think they're supposed to be re torqued around 500 miles.
