Re: Crank Pulley Torque

Re: where should i buy my used engine in the Denver Area
With good heads, what about a factory rebuilt short block and bolt up your heads, etc? Haven't priced these in some time, but ran about $1800-2K last I checked.

Re: Crank Pulley Torque
Sure you can overtorque anything. Worst case scenario is that the
bolt snaps but not all the way off. The mechanic is not aware that

Re: muffler for KEP exhaust with standard cat
Twice ('87 Wolfsburg & '84 Westy) I've used the KEP header & my stock cat/muffler with good results until they wore out (rust). No fit problems...
