        There are mixed reviews of those on the e30 forums, a lot of people have major issues with them, and others have good luck. 
        I think they are awesome, but killer expensive!

                Got the head off. There is some detention on the pistons... The head gasket wasn't bent or broken but the #2 piston looked like it was the problem. Pics to come in the morning.

                Frank Smith offered to give me the software to make my own chips and Todd of TCD has the hardware to make the chips. I need a good tune!!!!!!

                  Pics of the carnage.

                  -There is some detonation.  
                  -Cyl #1 had a leaky injector for awhile.  
                  -The tune has been super rich.
                  -I have some port matching todo.

                  I will be ordering a cut ring gasket, new arp head studs, exhaust nuts and researching the best exhaust manifold gasket today.  Also, I will take the head into the shop to have it inspected then after it checks out I'll get it back to port match everything then send it back to get cleaned up.

                    Ordered everything on this list under E30 except the head studs and cutring gasket. Also got a new oil temp & pressure gauge with matching sending units.

                      Does that mean the ARP's for sure stretched?

                        Not sure but don't want to risk it at all.

                          You didn't like the Podi gauge I assume?

                              for science reasons could you measure them?

                                I definitely will and if they look good I'll sell them for cheap.

                                      Make note of this part of that post: Remember... no gasket can hold up to a bad tune, so make sure that your tuning is solid and dyno tested, and let's keep pushing the limits of the E36 platform!

                                        My attention has been on my bathroom remodel but that will be wrapped up next week. I'll be port matching the exhaust ports, turbo flange and turbo then taking it back to the machine shop.
