What have you done to your MSP today?

looked at it... then the motor setting on the floor of the garage, just not motivated to get that head off... it doesnt need to be done anytime soon since I dont have then money for the pistons yet... or the money for the bore...
 
oh and I forgot to mention... I tried the whole 6" extension and the rubber mallot suggestions I got to get the head off yesterday... and no dice...
 
So now you get a piece of pipe (plumbing pipe is cheap) about 18"-24" long, with an id just big enough to slide over your socket handle/arm... more leverage and you don't have to be afraid to beat on it with a bigger mallet. Hit the nuts/bolts with PB Blaster first and give it 10-15 minutes to penetrate.

outlaw, lip looks good, now you just have to wait for your carbon one
 
well, once I get the JDP one, Im going to see how the weave pattern looks, then marking it down, then taking the 2003.5 lip off and giving it to my friend to get overlay'd!! :D

Hmmmm. What did I do to my MSP today?

I got the freaking head off! WOOO





dont mind all of the carbon build up, thats from when the turbo blew and the cycling of the oil through the motor... but the cylider walls are almost perfect I was suprised after almost 100K on the motor...
