Didn't even think that I might need new/different bolts. People suggested ARP bolts, but others have said stock bolts will hold up just fine. So I'm off to the dealership tomorrow to see if I can get a set of bolts (hopefully they'll have em in stock but .. haha, yeah right..).



Anyway, I look forward to running 10psi on pump gas.

 

Might as well go ARP since the head is coming off....

ARP doesn't have an app for my car.. it'd have to be a cu$tom job.

That looks like a head shim in the pic, I know the guy who developed them. He designed it to compensate for milling on stock engines. The shim is designed to be used with the stock gasket. Is that how you plan to install yours? Also, are the head bolts "torque to yield" on the S2k?

 

What does the headgasket lower compression to?

 

its expected to bring compression down a whole point.

 

chrisd, what's your source of income to support all of these expensive car parts?

 

No offense intended but why should it matter?

 

go away

 

That is mighty adultish and mature of you to bring you and Chris's personal matters to public attention. You are probably older than me, since I am 20, and even I know the definition of respect and decency for another adult. In no way can you justify the above action. It seems that the root of your post was to embarrass and degrade Chris.

Pretty lame in my opinion....

You seem like a mighty good "friend" to Chris
