Re: Flywheel bolts

What superscan said they work for the 4g54 just check the thread pitch and diameter on your bolts and look on arp's website you will more then likely find what you need.

Re: 4g54 Turbo headgasket woes.

Might be a stupid question but you said that you used a monotorque gasket with a shim how did you seal the other side of the shim I am presuming you used 2 gaskets to sandwich the shim also are you running arp studs or standard head bolts.

Re: All Galant owners please read and respond

It looked different to me when i removed the rear of my 2dr but I could be wrong. Paul has glass bars on his 2dr most people would not even know except for the silver paint.

Re: All Galant owners please read and respond

I can get access to moulds for GC/GD bonnet, 2dr bootlid, GD front bar, 2dr rear bar but there is never enough interest to sort out someone to punch them out maybe one day.

Re: Roller rockers on non-roller cam??

Porsche lash adjusters are not cheap the copy's from scat and other brands are and it really shows in the quality of the product you need to look for mahle-wizemann as they supply them to Porsche any more info about the inserts you will need to talk to Paul Testa he is the one doing it.

Re: Roller rockers on non-roller cam??

Both profiles are very different best way is to use a roller cam with roller rocker gear but remove the hydraulic adjusters fit inserts and run Porsche (mahle) lash adjusters just my opinion.

Re: Astron billet cylinder head

You don't have to have it plumbed that way it is just there for added security in saying that most of Paul's setups now have electric water pumps so it is easy to plumb in 4 braided lines to push water in.

Re: Astron billet cylinder head

If you cut up a standard head you will notice that there is no water getting to the top near the exhaust ports this creates a steam pocket and contributes to the heads cracking in the exhaust ports so Paul pushes water in there to help with cooling the exhaust ports.

Re: Astron billet cylinder head

Check the underside of the rockers is there a mark where the retainer has touched the rockers? more seat pressure won't hurt it either, beehive springs will sort out the other issue.
