look up "wasted spark"

Well not unless he/she specifically wants to run fewer external coils in wasted spark which isn't ideal and most likely not much if any of an upgrade.

To run some wicked external coils for an RB, u'll want 6x AC Delco D585 (LS2 Truck) coils, leads to match and just wire them up to power/ECU. They have ignitors built-in so U can get rid of the factory ignitor (if it's an RB26 or series 1 R33 or earlier)

Info on the D585 coils here:

They should have no problem running a 1.1mm gap and LOTS of boost!

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
