I've seen/had worse machined smooth. Assuming that it hasn't been done before, there should be plenty of metal there to mill away at.

For real. Coming out of an Eclipse this thing sounds like shit. In the DSM all the lows would come right off the hatch glass and for mid bass I had 2 6x9s pointed at my ears...

Winch for trailer and screw extractor kit from harbor freight finally arrives.

Is it just me or do they seem to take forever for shipping stuff...

Its this winch, like $50 cant beat it for bnib. the reviews on the website looked good, supposed to pull 6000lbs rolling on flat surface and like 3000 with somewhere around a 10 degree incline j/w if any of you guys had any experience w/them.

Yeah, I'm just a little worried about valve - piston clearance and whether or not I'll have problems sealing a mls head gasket.

Tell machine shop to mill out those defects and measure how much is missing. Buy headgasket with additional thickness to compensate. No piston/valve worries.

my lag is your courtesy head start

ATTENTION.... installing a head gasket, head studs or pistons and rods in your otherwise STOCK engine dose not make it a "built" engine! stop listing you cars for sale saying they are built when its not!!
