Tell me about it! ME TOO!

RLZ Engineering in Concord has taken wayyyy too long and still not done porting my cylinder head! Never again will i get anything done there.

 

Finally, Widebody is on and fitted perfectly and car is sprayed.

Engine has been assembled and ready to go back into the car.

Going in this weekend to get the interior done and this beast should be coming back together soon! Very exciting!

Looks really good

 

Wide-body kit is looking good, who's doing your paint?

Ooh, nice paint/kit

 

Hey now! OK I want widebody lol well done! GL

 

So what did you guys do to fix the head lifting issue?

The fix is not to use the arp washers, Use the stock headbolt washer and that will take care of that!

It's a known issue around 9XX +14XX hp and using those bolts and washers.

Michael Currin out of Charlotte, NC. A good friend of mine, he owns and operates his own bodyshop. Does amazing work.


Well to start with, I've purchase a brand new cylinder head from Toyota. New ARP oversized headstuds and the ARP washer inserts with the arp washers. This should be a fix. I can't use the oem toyota washers with these studs and I dont think that would fix the problem I had with the first cylinder head.

 

Cleannnnn af!!!!

 

What were Old Engine Specs?

 

Man this thing is looking amazing! Everytime I go to Jason's shop in always asking about it lol. This car is going to be Insanly beautiful when it's complete!

 

Only major difference on the engine build now is the new ported cylinder head and billet main caps with arp main studs.

Thanks man I appreciate it. I would like to see your car in person.

 

This car should make more power with that ported head . I hope you don't have the same problem on that head being lifted.

That widebody and paintjob looks great .

 

Some more pics of the interior almost complete.

Refinished the brake calipers all the way around and got the dash installed and powered on. Looks awesome!

 

I am hoping the same! I have way too much invested into this car.

I am hoping for more power with the RLZ cylinder head versus the King Kong Performance CNC head. Actually selling the older cylinder head if anyone is interested. I have no use for it, just a paper weight to me right now.
