More evidence of WC's unlimited supply of knowlede Sorry Tek the only decent thing Ford ever produced was the GT500, maybe the Lightning and the SHO which they stopped making.

Chevy's define gay. I have a 95' Explorer and will take it over any sadass Gayzer any day.

You will definetly win that contest since I don't have family with great FORDs. Anyway like I said before, I'm a fan of Ford TRUCKs not all cars. I'm not a Mustang vs. Camaro fanboy.

Hey guys I have a question regarding my cylinder head at the machine shop.

When I was tearing the head apart, I noticed the valve (intake&exhaust) dish was flush against the head. When I got it back I realized that the dish are no longer flush with the head but overlapping. However, there is no gap between them, and its not on all the valves either. Is this the results of the 3 angle valve job?

Alright guys, I called the guys at the machine shop and found my answer. The "overlapping" is indeed the work of the 3 angle valve job. Also my dumbass didn't realize that having the cams installed will automatically push down on the valve stems a little causing them to slightly open the valve.

I kinda figured this because they followed a pattern. First, the exhaust valves on one cylinder were kind of opened while the intake on the same cylinder were closed. Yes I'm not very bright at times but what can I say.

-lilpiton, I know I promised pics of the headlamp assembly/motors, but I've been real busy at work. Today is like my only day off, sorry.

I'm still looking at the head gasket and I'm almost sure I want an Apexi one. I went over TopSpeed but they only have Cometic gaskets (heard horror stories about them) They can get me an HKS one for $230.

Hey guys I picked these up at the junkyard today. I lit them up and my god they are bright ... I'm thinking of putting these fogs on my 240 but don't know how it would look on a Silvia front. What you guys think?



Nevermind, there really is nowhere to put fog lights on a Silvia front
