Another with the crinkle painted valve cover.

Questions answered on page 6 and picture with cover off on that page too. If anyone has any questions on measurements/specs or anything else related building their own I will help in anyway.

That flipped pic looks a bit freaky! or you have a rare head there :)

He's running the Honda version of the engine. Backwards!

Youd be better off with ebay headers than those shorties...

Had them, they are complete shit.

Are those the IE shorty headers? Nothing wrong with those! My set was great on my old 4 door.

[acolella76]

no those are MSDS headers

They dont do anything, I have a set too.

IE makes a copy, and they still dont do anything. ;)

Better than the stock ones and those shitty ebay long tubes. These fit like a custom glove and look very nice. They get the job done and that is what they were bought for.

The only thing they do better than stock is weigh less and rust.

the IE headers are eeever so slightly different i think, but yeah. ebay long tubes > shorty headers

Update

So I have been having issues with pistons. Bought some to replace the worn ones that were in the block. The seller said they were low miles provided pictures etc. Turns out he lied and they are cracked and missing CHUNKS between the ring grooves.

So I am buying new pistons and getting the block top machined & honed. Hoping to get this done together soon.

Info on the pistons if someone can chime in =)

Shitty situation, I hate when you get thrown little curve balls like that in the middle of a project. Like someone said in the other thread, if you want inexpensive oversized pistons, maxsil looks like a good choice.

The problem is I have no idea what size to go with to match the m52 crank and eta rods. I searched and found nothing on piston size options. I called Metric Mechanic and they did not understand that I am sticking with what I own right now. Plus my brother said he is not dropping 2,800 on pistons & rod(inc bearings) and the rings.

For that change I could fucking swap a s50 xD then sell all the stroker parts.

So if ANYONE knows the max size I can use with the m52 crankshaft and ETA rods please let me know. If you say go with expensive customs etc FUCK OFF =)

I will check out those Maxsil ones right now.
