Oil pan doesn't take a gasket and don't use one that's offered in many kits (usually cork).
Oil pan is just a small bead of grey RTV.
Felpro makes perfectly fine gaskets all around, including their composite which I've run for the last decade
I’ve always used the Fel-Pro kits for my unspectacularly normal power levels.The 7-bolt engine didn’t use a gasket for the rear main seal housing to engine block from the factory, only RTV sealant.
Yes, as long as if they are still in good working condition, the late evo's stock beehive springs and duralumin retainers can be considered as upgrade from DSM stock.
7 bolt rear main seal gasket is originally RTV, there is no paper gasket from factory. That's only for 6 bolt.Edit : my bad, Brian has already mentioned it above.
You need a gasket kit for 1g 7 bolt. If you can't source it, you get two kits, for 1g 6 bolt and 2g 7 bolt. Those would cover all what you need. Or just order one by one. In this way you wouldn't waste gaskets that you won't use.1G 7 bolt is...
When people refer to Felpro they can sometime be referring to the Permatorque multilayer steel one, but quite often they’re referencing the cheap composite one. Unless you’re having the head resurfaced to the correct RA then a multi layer steel...
Definitely possible. And I agree with Hiroshi on all points other than the 1G intake manifold — it could be used on the 2G head, but it will not be a good combination of parts.It would allow the car to operate but it would not be near any...
Not at all. Many people have done it.
But at least you would need a 2g/early evo/RVR/Chariot's smaller port intake manifold. Your 1g big port intake manifold can't be used on the 2g head.
Did you disassemble the engine and inspect all the parts? How did you check the clearance?
I don't mean to discourage you but it doesn't really matter what caused the last spun bearings. As I mentioned above that once you spin bearings, the only...
You have charging issue. I think that's causing the P0300 code.
After the engine gets hot, most of time you have the voltage too low. Either the alternator, voltage regulator, battery or ECU. You have to fix it first before messing with the tuning.
You have to rebuild the engine properly. Just keep replacing the bearings and cutting the journals won't solve the issue. Once you spin rod bearings, the rod big end roundness is out of spec. Like they get oval. You have to recondition rods and...
Yes and yes. How much grinding you need would depend how much clearance you want and which block you use.I made this, the pics below. My R&R rod's dowel pin location was set at the position of OEM bearing oil jet hole. (You have to make sure...
