Re: d16 rod bearing replacement- in car. Is it possible?

d16 rod bearing replacement- in car. Is it possible?

Re: Where to get stronger u-joints??

Did you drop your distributor? It sounds like you bought the cams used- maybe that's why the guy sold 'em in the first place. Who knows. Hope ya get things sorted out without much trouble.
