Hey everyone. I haven't been around as much due to the fact that my car has been under alot of stress. Both my oil and coolant is leaking. The oil looks to be coming from the oil pan and the coolant leaks hasn't been found yet. My coolant bottle is always very low, almost to empty. Besides that, some bastard hit my driver side fender while I was working. My bumper is scratched up also. On top of that, I have my first 2 tickets ever. It's only parking tickets, no biggie, but that's $70 down the drain. Work gets the best of me and I just don't have the time to move my car. I'm just waiting for my vacation days to come up. Then I'll have time to drop in my new motor.

Quick question: Is there any other applicant out there besides the ARP rod bolts set that can handle up to 8000 RPM? This is a must for my LS/VTEC. The ARP rod bolts set is about $50. Is there anything better or stronger than the ARP set? Also, should I upgrade the GSR oil pump that I have now to an ITR oil pump? From what I heard, the ITR oil pump flows more freely to the cam spray bars than the GSR oil pump would. What do you guys think? Thanks for the help everyone.

 

hope things work out the best for you bro, i am having a bad month also.. hit and run on my door, paint on roof is getting worse, and my pocket bike is broken. hah..

 

GSR and ITR oil/water pumps are the same. Found this out by asking someone that sold Honda factory parts. I have never heard of any other head studs than ARP, but I am sure there are some others out there.

Tickets suck I have had 18 since I started driving. I may just get out of the scene and get an suv.
