My friend put used housings in his 3rd gen motor, and the stationary gear seized, or something like that. I never heard of that happening before. I guess Ito was right about using ALL new housings.[/quote]

i'm just trying to make the car as reliable as possible. we'll see what happens soon [/quote]

Yeah, running more than 1 season is usually a good thing. [/quote]

i rate that pretty high in my book :smilewinkgrin:[/quote]

My motor has been running for about 2 1/2 years. I'm hoping to get at least another 3-4 years out of it, but hopefully more.

Yeah, but it's very conservative. Most of the retuning will be for the better airflow after I add the FD UIM and re-do the IC piping.
