Debatable.
I lined everything out in the previous thread on one of the last pages; maybe page 4 or 5.

I appreciate the offer. I will keep this option in mind. I usually have a local guy do my welding, but I'm not sure if he's working this week.

Touge Factory; I get a majority of my parts from them.

I followed the torque requirements directly off the ARP sheet found in the head stud box.

Final torque specification of 80 ft. lbs in three sequences. To re-assure myself, I double checked on SupraMania/SupraForums for the exact torque specification. The best method to achieve these specifications were as I posted:

1st: 35 ft. lbs.
2nd: 90 degrees advanced from the previous position (~55 ft. lbs.)
3rd: 75-80 ft. lbs.

I did use the ARP grease provided on the threads, washers, and nuts.

Hey OP,


Love the build keep it coming. And that has to be one of the most epic Christmas trees I have ever seen xD
That is correct they are Avid motor mounts. I paid, $120? I can't remember. Great mounts; Yes, they are solid, the air vents rattle at 60 mph, but I never cared, but were not annoying or disruptive at idle.

Hahaha thanks. That is at a friends house, I thought the same thing about that tree.
