Ok I need a 14" weaves center cap. I know one of you local hoarders has one lying around.

ryan have you removed the head from your m42 ever if so is it hard to remove and put it back together im thinking about replacing the lifters

Phil, you really only have to remove the valve cover and the camshafts and carriers to replace the lifters. Removing the upper timing cover would make it easier to get to the camshaft sprocket bolts but not completely necessary. The real trick is holding all the lifters in place when you put the camshaft carriers back over the studs.

Good point Stan. Certainly wouldn't hurt though to pull the springs and replace the seals/check guides and seats.

Looking into getting 16x9(et10) wheels on the back, how hard is that to pull off on a late model?
I'm not on any coils, just IE3 springs/Konis.

I came from Hondas where they got an average of 30-35mpg...so this m20 can suck my nuts! Hahaha jk. I love the m20. I kinda want an m42 powered e30 now though. I wanna get a solid 30mpg. The m20 guzzles gas for how much I have to commute
