and whats that "better deal" on what?

 

What u buy?

 

For spring I'll be adding stg2 cams opels zzp coils and new phasers

 

He probably bought either an exhaust or an intercooler/pipes

 

Hmm, I thought that quoting myself would have been clear enough...

Intercoler went in with the "extended warranty" engine;

Charge pipes were bought some time ago, and are awaiting warmer weather to be installed.

Besides, you saw my stash...
the next part I was on the hunt for was neutral balance shafts...

 

Oh so you grabbed some NBS for that new engine? Just need studs and a balancer and you're good to go

 

Come on Kev - You're losing it!?!

I'm either going to rebuild the original, or get an LDK to rebuild...

All in time though.

 

Ya totally! I talk to a lot of guys about cobalts daily. I know you're rebuilding one

 

i don't plan high enough boost pressures to require studs, so those might be overkill, and at this time i don't see the merit in those overpriced balancers...

 

Studs are prob pretty close to the price of stock bolts

 

Stock bolts are about $10 a bolt or more. Studs is probably the cheaper bet

 

you need moar boost!

 

You need real fuel!

 

but do they require a (partial) tearddown, to retorque?

Most do;
this is a PITA, but if it's required, and you don't do it, you're better off just using stock replacement bolts.

 

Just take the valve cover off to retorque them. Just like head bolts but way more better

 

it is real, it just happens to be really shitty

 

I would never buy stock head bolts for my build

 

I have stock head bolts somewhere in my basement if you want them

 

New?

 

tdotperformance has our headstud kit on for 200CAD free shipping, much cheaper then zzp after shipping, currency conversion, and customs fees

 

sure...

keep in mind i haven't yet paid you for these bearings...

 

Well we will see who needs the bearings first

 

I need to throw an engine together

 

Possiession is nine teths of the law!

 

Whatcho talkin bout willis??
