Oh I know the headbolts can't be re-used. But it was my understanding that you could actually damage the head by doing so. At least that's what I learned in school and I was told the same by a couple of machine shop owners.

Yep, you can cause trouble that way. Maybe we should assume that they loosened them in sequence beforehand?

LSX RWD S/C conversion
iTrader: (2)
After having been told the conversion was being done it turns out it wasn't.
The car was then sent to a different shop. The back end is cut and the 4link/ford 9"/adjustable coilover/custom axle kit is on order. The rest of the car is stripped and the chassis is being worked on. A spare engine has been bought and will be used for the positioning and designing of the engine bay/cradle.
The "built" engine is just waiting for the custom crankshaft to be done and then the engine goes back together.
Other specialized parts are being tested while waiting for the crank.
The turbo header will be done was the final engine placement is done so we can maximize the space. The chances are the header will not work for other LSJ's simply because of our turning the engine.
Updates are done regularly in my "RWD" thread.
