Every single bolt or nut on my motor had lock tight bro, I don't play when it comes to my build, I've had to many bad experiences, over looking the simple that now I over kill on everything. Plus if u can't bolt anything on that spit because of vibration, they're would not a threaded hole there bro. Thanks for the comment bro

^ True story, I haven't been through any bad experiences yet but now I ARP everything and anything I can to prevent from any headaches when my swap is in the car..

That particular hole with threads is how the timing belt cover is secured with a bolt from the outside of the cover. I'm overly cautious also, that's why I mentioned it. I would hate for that lil cosmetic bullet to shread a timing belt at 9000 rpm.

ur absolutely correct and that why its a 10 mm bolts with a spike on it, its not a bullet looking thingy.

very nice work

The COP is pretty nifty. What are your power goals for this build? What timing belt are you going to use?

What went wrong on the last build? Sorry if I missed the post.

Oil pump failure :/

**silkyjohnson#1hater** · 10-16-2011 07:49 AM

im using a toda timing belt because its red and strong lol, the cop using the stock rsx coils are good up to 550hp with out the use of cdi..
so prob 550hp for now till i can do a cdi.. im using aem series 2 ecu with epm.. but eventually i want to have at least 650 to 700 hp oh high boost settings and race gas..
yeah oil pump failure ftl..
