Alright after coming to the conclusion that I had some bent valves. I got another DET head and goin to switch them out. Im going to put new valve seals on the new head. What tool do i need to get the valves out of the head.

If anyone has any pics or explanation on how they got their ssac or xspower manifold to work with a gt28r, s14 , s15 t28's please let me know mine just doesnt seem to fit. Im using ca mounts. thanks

You need a valve spring compressor for DOHC motors. Its like a giant C-clamp. I did mine and it only took about an hour to swap out the valves and replace the stem seals. That also included lapping the valves.

Hey, beans. Has my manifold shipped out yet? Last week you said you're getting it done and it's been a month now. It just doesn't take too long to ship across one state.

I should know by friday. I just bought an S15 T28. That SSAC mani was designed with the T28 though, so I'll be suprised if it doesn't fit.
