If you go to the SCE site and click on their master catalogue you'll find them on page 58 with all the available thicknesses

OK I got in contact with SCE and asked if they can do an ICS Titan head gasket for the Astron and they replied with a YES and that they actually stock them and gave me a list of part numbers :D http://scegaskets.com/tech-faqs/ Hello Michael, Yes, we do offer the ICS Titan for this engine, the listin...

that's alright
would be nice to see what gains could be made by just removing weight, like trimming all the unnecessary steel out of the doors, bumper reinforcements, removing the sound deadening (I think I removed 20kg in sound deadening on my gh) etc

just 2Lgalant and I

did you race, if so what did it run ?

why do you want green struts
There is no advantage with green struts over any other Sigma strut

SCE do a pro copper gasket for the g54b im sure they could modify it to be like they're ICS Titan gaskets

I have used the ICS copper gaskets on other engines in the past and theres no need to O ring the block and they don't leak

So how did this turn out ?

Im sure im not the only one that feels this way but the lack of an edit tab its driving me up the wall

I've never used sealant on these, just a wipe em down with thinners and stick em in

are you sure your confirmed painted timing mark isn't 180 degrees out ?

- GC front eyebrow moulds (the chrome strip in front of the blinkers that meet up with the bonnet)
- straight bumpers

these can be reproduced in fibreglass and chromed

OK if you look inside the Ford TPS the pins are identified top to bottom as ABC

A = Ground

B = Signal

C = +5v

Looking into the Mits TPS plug, (two small notches on the right one large on the left) the pins are identified top to bottom as 1234

1 = +5v

2 = Signal

3 = not used

4 = Ground

actually I can see one problem with using a trimatic
conversion bellhousings would be very hard to make as the oil pump is cast into the rear of the bell

Yep a traumatic is definitely a good choice for an astron, actually surprised it hasn't been done
Then again its one of those boxes that often get over looked

Im surprised by the manual/auto tunnel size difference

Ignition amplifiers are only needed if you have hi compression/boost or running exotic fuels

what are you hoping to achieve with it ?

ahha
I misunderstood your first post, I though you were using spacers between the rod/crank

what pistons are you using ??

I remember they used a rod spacer like you plan to use in in early Cleveland stroker engines and it was an area of failure, a piston guided rod is a much more reliable way to go

I see what you mean by slow to 120

Factory test figures:
Focus ST Standing 1000m = 26.4 seconds @ 206kph, though mine said closer to 220

Don't know what the new wrx is like but my mate has a 2005 WRX and my Focus leaves it behind without a sweat, I was expecting it to be the other way !
I had a run in my sigma with a current shape STI last weekend, was a 100km roll on and pulled 5 car lengths before I changed into 3rd (top)

There was a Ford Focus cruise happening the same day that were meeting up at the panthers club, they were coming from Vic Qld and even WA, was mind blown at how keen they were !
