some progress: the lsd is fitted and working :D

but the staz wont be seen anywhere for a while,
the head gasket (ACL) has blown between 3 & 4.

so my 2 cyilnder 4G63 now sounds like a subaru, damn.

rebuild coming up in about 2/3 weeks time, sigh! :(

, mine did that 2 :roll: , common problem between 3&4

, ARP stud kit seams to fix it though, still using ACL head gasket. :beer

I was thinking of looking to see if ARP did a stud kit for the 4G63.
You wouldnt happen to have kept the part number?

HiOctane want $616 for a TOMIE metal head gasket.

Rocket Ind have a COMETIC listed, dont know the price or where to order it from though.

I will fit a set lifters from MEEK Performance, and maybe some other goodies.

Phil (Peninsular Performance Engines) says he wants do some more work on the head and maybe inlet manifold. So I happily said "ok".

Dave,

Buckley St quoted me about $150 for a Cometic steel head gasket last year. Could give them a call. Theymight be useful contact for the ARP stud kit too. :beer

Chris at MEEK has Cometic head gaskets in stock and ARP stuff as well.

ARP 4G63 DOHC 6 bolt head stud kit is p/n 207-4201. I know this because I have the box on my desk

MEEK Performance have all the parts I want, good prices too.
Will pick them up saturday morning.

Chris was telling me of a new version of turbine thats coming,
eleven blades instead of twelve, with a more agressive angle.
Its the same as what Mitsi make for the TRUST turbos,
and the same idea as used in the Garrett GT28 turbo.
