Are you going to keep daily driving it with the built motor?

Thanks! Absolutely I will keep driving it. I don't make enough $$ to have a $30k 'fun-only' car although that would be very fun some day!

yea, ARPs. I am iffy on re-torquing them after my incident with my last car, so I am going to use a fresh set when I torque the head to the block for the last time.

I'm glad to see them be useful for something. I'm still crying over what the "incidentals" set me back to pull that head a second time.

I'll give you a $10 rental fee, set something up with Hollyweird so they get included with the torque plate as it travels to lonely, sad, broke individual after lonely, sad, broke individual.

LOL, you rented the plate from Hollywood? Thats funny.

I guess I assumed MAP would just have one or would've bought one.
