It's been five minutes at 2:40 in the morning.

You probably won't get an answer any way. I can come up with 2 sections where this post would be appropriate.

GDD is not one of them.

It would mean you would have to run a higher octane gasoline.

Never is there a good time to skimp on an engine build.

That's 30+ years of experience talking.

Derail time.

I drove up to Denton today to pick up a hard top.

Turns out the place only sells parts imported from Japan.

Now I have a JDM hard top and JDM tail lights.

Both of which are the same as USDM.

okay but i have a legit question now because ive read about three different answers online. will a ITR timing belt work on a CTR engine?

and yes, i know what happens when one assumes, but i didnt make an *** out of you. only me. failure on reading comprehension.

That is good, because I would have to kill you if you made an *** out of me.

I'm the only one that makes an *** out of myself.

How old are you first of all?

First mistake was to post this in GDD.

There is a tech forum, just saying.

And seeing your from California, don't do it. Simple as that.

If you're smart about it don't ask and learn.

Put all that **** into your car and see what happen, problem solve.

I'mma leave this to GDD.
