I'm going to see how well this header coating holds up and if its good I'll be sending the guy some stuff for my car.... Possibly stuff for the legacy too..

$130 is steep for what needs done. It takes me around 10~20 minutes to do one depending on whether the jaws need changed.

[robert 1980]

Jon really saved me alot of money.I owe him for doing everything he has done.Looks nice

[SappySE107]

That is crazy

[bob442]

Out of curiosity, what did it run you to have the machine work done for the DR timing set?

If i recall for my build it was 130$ to get the crank machined

Head studs ftw...



And GM headgaskets are the best second to the MLS one's.

I have a "turbo" cam or at least one that is being sold as one now is VERY similar to mine, I'm also running the 986 springs, so its a question on if the 986 springs are sufficient for moderate boost, The chain has no idea of boost being present other than the heavier springs needed to support it, so its cam duration and spring pressure you need to look at.
