sure why you would want to delete them. Also as noted, unless the engine is
out you have to put the studs in afterwards due to clearance issues with the
firewall. The dowels keep the alignment to within a few mils which is much
tighter than you will get with studs alone.

go much faster if you are not using it already. MSCDirect.com has an
excellent selection of grit sizes.

$135 including shipping.  Just curious if anyone has experience with Titan
products.  The statement is made that is is "just like the HKS" gasket but
it does not state which one of the three made by HKS.

ebay.  After 18 months I have still not gotten the JDM engine together for
my '90 due to time constraints.  Also the '90 has 156K on the chassis and
has a BHG.  The Houston car looks good except for a slight right front
fender bend and the dashboard pulling away from the instrument cluster top
cover.  A new (used) dash is already here.

intend installing a metal HG, probably the Titan item.  I have what I need
to lap the top of the block and measure it for flatness, but am not looking
forward to the task.  The work will be preventative, since I'll later be
going to higher boost, Lex AFM.550 CC ND injectors, HKS 80 mm cat back
exhaust and a 57 trim turbo presently on its way to California for rework.
I already have a rebuilt head for the JDM engine, which will be put on the
'91 and another on the way to complete the JDM engine for storage.  I have a
2 mm Cometic gasket, but with the material taken off the JDM block (it
rolled over on the concrete floor once and got damaged) that gasket will be
for the spare engine.
