I hope those bolts won't unscrew due to vibration since their base do not sit flush on the plastic cover.

The two on the front sides are well seated .. but the rest I had to grind them a bit..... actually needed a little bit more of grinding. As long as they are tight , I don't think they are going anywhere.

How did you wrap that DEI on the manifold, did you use a clamp?

Looks good guys. You can also use those bolts to replace the valve cover bolts also. Thats why i sent 16pcs.

That's funny ! You actually thought of using them as valve cover bolts and we used them as coil cover bolts. No wonder there were 16 of them . Well , 8 more bolts.. that will add to the bling in my engine bay. I will exhaust all the bling bling on this car, the next project will be shaved engine bay and simple ..I will just be after big horsepower and less of these bling.

I just saw online that there is a 92 Acura legend in the PullApart branch 3 miles from my place. Did I get it right that they are from the valve covers of 92-96 Acura Legend ? I just need two since I still have 6.. though I will grab extra ones.

Dennis - Yes.. clamped at the end... it is one complete roll.

PogikoSC4 - I will be in your place 4AM on Saturday to help you take out that 1jz and take things apart to make room for your 2jz . I will load the hoist on my truck Friday. You go to bed early on Friday ...lmaol. And I still don't see any build thread ? no build thread, no help. Hire and pay someone to do it for you, lmaol , Am sure someone will help you if you pay them , lol. We start early so we finish early and we go to Hooters or Tilted Kilt after so you can get me drunk !

You know you are free to come anytime . Instead of us talking for hours on the phone , we will talk in person with booze in our hands and being served by pretty ladies .

Dennis , thanks . I have yet to go and find some . I need another 10 of thembut have installed what I already had and looks good.

4 AM ..let's make it 10am then, lmaol. But Hooters / Kilt ... .you know I am serious , so you better make sure you have a baby sitter in the afternoon and if you get drunk , someone picking you up. We ain't leaving that place till one of us passes out . I already told my wife to pick me up if ever.

Engine Hoist and my Compressor is already loaded in the truck. I am bringing my compressor so we can do things faster. Your freaking small compressor takes an eternity to fill up with air and might be tough to take out those stubborn bolts. I am not bringing my extra engine stand since you want me to bring that engine and dismantle it for you on my free time so you can sell them by parts.




I installed some of those bolts in the valve covers and looks good. I need another 10 of them .












Now , I need a really good paint job . Anyone have experience with a good painter here in Atlanta they can recommend ?
