Thanks GTSboy. I will inspect the valves actually, is this something I can do while they are still in the head? The block/bores don’t look bad to be honest hey, I can still see the cross hatches in the bores and they still measure 86.5mm. I’m not sure how to measure the installed ring gaps but I will do that and take it to someone who can.
I’ve had the same headache with my lowered car, scissor jack first then floor jack every time. Ended up grabbing an extra-low profile aluminum jack (about 70mm entry height) and it finally slides under the lip without drama.
Its been a while!
Finally thought to do something on this car, so here we go.
This will be a slow burning, multiple posts as I spend 0.5-1hr a day on this job, over multiple days...
Full set of GKTech suspension arms!
Step 1: Buy Arms, done!
Step 2: Start removing stuff.
HICAS was easy.
Rear suspension arms are now gone, they were a bitch but breaker bars with long handle extensions, 2 1.5hr slots later, stock arms are off!
Next step, remove the hubs and take them to work to press out the bearings and bushings!
