I don't think I am going to do anything like that just put in the new springs and cams and call the good.

cleaned up the engine bay some today. Deleted all the evap garbage, and got the engine on its stand. One downer I am not sure what is wrong with the #4 cylinder. 1, 2, and 3 where all dry but in the #4 seemed to have some wet oil in it. Not sure if it is head gasket leaking oil into the cylinder, rings, or valve seals.

Also my evo3 16g was SHOT there was more in out play then I have ever felt on a turbo. I don't know how it even made boost. The up down play was perfect.

Little bit of of progress tonight on the head. Got all the exhaust valve springs and valve stem seals replaced. Tomorrow is all the intake valves, and cams. after that the head is ready to go back on.

Got a lot of progress today.

Finished installing my new Brian Crower valve springs, new valve seals, and Brian Crower 272 cams.

The only thing I have a question about is this stuff what I want to use when torquing down the head nuts on the studs.

No don't use that stuff. I grabbed a tub of that and Shawn (4seasons69). Said it wasn't the same stuff that you need.

[99gsxjoel]

k thanks.

[4seasons69]

You can get by with engine oil if you need to but I would use the arp moly lube. I might still have some. I'll check and see

I am in need of some help. I don't have the timing belt tension tool need to set the tension on my belt. If anyone is interested in lending a hand that would be amazing.

[blackawdtsi]

You really don't need one.

[99gsxjoel]

I have read that. And how it all should work I just can't compress the pin in the adjuster to put the allen in it. And its my first time timing my belt and would like a 2nd pair of eyes to say its ok.
