sprung a couple oil leaks around the head gasket area... but it was fresh- we weren't sure if it was maybe the oil we dumped in leaking out of the head just wasn't torqued right. cams off, re-torque speced the head studs- which were all perfect to 60 ft/lbs per the helms.

so hows it pull tho? even tho it runs like dog shit like you said

it doesn't. it felt like it had 6:1 compression, and sounded liek a wrx motor.
 
if i didn't have timing tensioner issues, i would have beat you :D but alas, its parked again. my buddy mike is coming over tonight- he's a wiring expert. he's gonna help me wire up all my gauges and vafc/avcr stuff nice and neat-like :)
if i have time, i might get to acura to get the new T-pulley, but i don't think that's going to happen today. maybe tuesday.
