I found a set 2.5 hrs from me. Headed out tomorrow to get them. Anyone have 20 good lug nuts? Story still to come....

I'll fill you guys in when I get out of work tonight.

I'm about to. None of the local scrap yards have this bolt pattern. Just 5x120's. That douche broke into my truck again last night...

I was dumb and trusted a local auto mechanic. I asked for an estimate and he ripped my truck apart and fucked it up without me authorizing work. Long story short, he stole my wheels and tires and cut my brake line so I can't take the truck. I need a really cheap set of wheels and tires to buy or...

What needs to be done? I can weld up new brackets/mounts. Is any of the wiring the same? My seats are past due on repair/replacement!

I just want to that you guys again for the advise. She's now up and running!!!!![/URL][/IMG]

It's got a sticker on it that says Ebay, that adds horsepower!

Thank you for clarifying!

I watched the videos and have the rave and another manual. I did not "blow" out the head bolt holes, only used a thin piece of rag to clean them out.

Thank you! I'm a bit fried and just want to get it 100% perfect before I actually start it up!

I almost did that when I was in there. It seemed to make sense, but the machinist said raw dog it. I decided to take his advice because he had some really crazy race engine builds going on and my garage just has 1000 bicycles and antique single cylinder air cooled builds.

Does anyone know the final torque value? I'd like to check it when I'm done. What is X? 15ftlb+90°+90°=Xftlbs. Or am I over thinking it?

I just went and re-read the manuals I have and the torque is definitely part of the issue. One said 20nm then 180° +_ 5. Insomnia and a rainier said "just half ass it Tom and hope for the best" the other manual breaks it down better saying 20nm (15ftlb) then 90 then 90. I'm usually a good...
