Hello people! I have been rebuilding the heads of my engine in preparation for a NA-TT build. While I was trying to get the last original valve keepers out, I hammered a grove into the wall with my removal tool.

I asked around and was told I should be able to use a Dremel and smooth it out. I wanted more opinion on if I can, and what Dremel bit I would want to use! Thank you for your advice.

(The first pic in the circles is where the groves are, the other pictures are just my work!)

Hello people! I’m getting close to the end of my NA-TT build, on the engine side. I’m looking into upgrading my pistons to hold more compression.

Has anyone ran the DNJ turbo pistons, and do they fit in an NA car? I don’t have the money for the wiseco pistons, so im trying to find alternatives.

Hello people, I am very desperate for advice! I finished rebuilding one my heads today. on the last set of keeps I was installing, I guess I didn’t notice one of them jumped out and stuck between the hat lookin thing and the exhaust. I NEED TO KNOW, how bad is it??? I doubly fucked up cause my IDIOT self decided to put the lifters back in, INCLUDING THE ONE I MESSED UP !!!

Update: here’s the photo again but identifying what I’m talking about.

Pretty much just an update! I’m super proud that I was able to get here- even though it took a lot of time and breaking some parts‼️ there’s still a small list of things I need to get, but I can finally start rebuilding some stuff. I plan on getting TT piston heads, new/bigger injectors and harness, and then a timing kit.

Just while in there, is there anything else worth replacing or cleaning up? I’m thinking about getting all of the old phase 1 parts out and replacing it with phase 2, so I would be able to just get a whole new harness without the annoying metal clips.

I NEEEEED HELLLLP !!!

I have two bolts left on my timing cover, the one on the passenger side. The allen hex bolts keeping my two coolant (?) pipes up are rounded out to shit and I CANT get anything to grab. It’s the two in the red circle, behind the pipes. I just need ideas man, it’s driving me insane.

I have a second engine I can use for parts, so I’m not so worried about replacing stuff.
