Another M20 Storker - I'll call it 3.1L+

Perhaps no benefit, but cool factor :P COP!

Alright, well I just got my metric mechanic order and some other parts today. Ive gotten most of the stuff in the last couple of days but I cannot find my card reader and CF for my camera. Pictars later today maybe if I get back home in time or tomorrow.

there is actually a large benefit, especially for the cost - it's basically the one of the main things MM does to their heads, actually.

I meant Coil On Plug, what does metric mechanic do?

oh, yeah, not much benefit there - the biggest advantage I can see there is better plug wear, since on W/S one of each pair fires inverted, so one plug wears out faster than the other.

MM back cuts their valves, that's what I meant. :p

Will be posting pictures of parts I've received so far in a minute here, check the first post. Just pics for now, I don't have time to update my parts/cost list yet.

Oh and by the way, I got my S50 rods in the mail today! Woot.

That's the good news.

The bad news is that the head bolts that I bought from Summit that I read somewhere from someone who is on this site as well (dont care to name names, it was just the wrong part and they were told it would work from someone at ARP), that would work on the S50 rods actually do not work, the thread pitch is WAY finer than the S50 rod bolts. Same diameter it seemed like, and just like it said 3mm longer, but the entirely wrong thread pitch. If anybody wants a brand new set of LS1 rod bolts lemme know, or I'll just send them back to summit or maybe sell them later.

I could try and peddle them on FRRAX.com-f-body road race and autox forum.

Do you still have them?

stock M20 crank is just under 50lbs, so you gained 14.6mm in stroke, a forged crank, and no significant weight penalty. ;)

[Justin B]

Thats what I had in mind about the weight, and everything else is lighter. A lot lighter.

I do have the rod bolts still. I could return them to Summit but I need to pay for shipping back. The ARP PN is 134-6006

Im very interested in this. How would it well would it hold up to boost?
