I spent another 3 hours trying to extract the broken head bolt from my D2 today.
I think it's a lost cause, it's just corroded solid all the way down and I broke chunks off to the point where I can't really reach it with the MIG anymore.
Going to wait for spring, buy/swap a new engine, and try to make a drill jig to drill this out as a spare block.

looks like it.

I've been thinking of driving over to garagistic and looking at them before I buy.

They look GOOD in the pics

Yeah, could you do that? There are some reviews online, but it'd be good to know from someone who isn't running a youtube channel

Schmiedmann has those MHWs and original style tails as well. I think someone started producing those MHW reps a while back along with startec(early) reps and all the other variants that garagistic et al. carry. You can find some of them on ebay now too.

I had never come across an interpretation of startecs for a late model and I guess I always wanted to see that. I never really cared for the MHWs for some reason.

I guess you guys will have to spend the ~5 minutes to watch the review video...

If someone could make a summary video of the review video, that'd be greaaaaaat.


Also, Garagistic has released some Startech/MHW lookalikes that I've been thinking about. I guess someone in china made some coppies and various distributors are picking them up to resell?

As long as he's not blowing seals it'll be fine.

Now THIS I can spare 5 minutes of my time to watch... for research purposes... obviously.
