RC, it is not a question of giving up. The project has started. I have ordered the Ruf titanium conrods, GT1 oil pump and GT3R valve springs. I have also sent the valve springs for heat dispersant coating. I want to have all the new parts ready prior to breaking down the motor. Currently looking at the heads and bearings. I have time to make changes up to the point I have accumulated all the new parts. Is this really so strange?

I am anxiously awaiting any information you come up with on the GT3R heads. Thanks again.
