that’s the problem only with OEM or simular type head gaskets…if it’s aftermarket metal or equivalent it’s more closer to bulletproof 😉 ---

Was this car at Shanny at the beginning of Sept? If it’s the same one I remember seeing more off the track than on. Definitely needs a good cleaning. As Tremels said. Looks like you have your work set out for you. ---

im having problems with finding a good clutch i was told to buy exedy or act im looking to go stage 2 or possibly 3 if the price is right also starting to gain some interest in getting 5 lug in case diamond racing wheels aren’t doing what i want for looks. i could use some good information id google it but then id just find some random wrong facts and then be kicking my self in the ass in the long run. and about 5 lug whats the credibility of these has anyone used them?

Depending on what you do with the car will dictate what is going to happen to the motor besides all the up keep needed. If its just a daily driver a OEM headgasket is okay to use, but this is SON and it is a build for something more than just a DD. I would say with 100% confidence if he puts a metal headgasket he is golden. I did a complete head job on a 7M so its brand new again and to this day there is NO issues!
