I am in the process of tearing down my 4 right now to build it. I do a lot of work with tim Barber out of tre diesel in norfolk. do you have the bottoming tap for the studs?

nah, just have the stud kit... somone on Comp D recommended i buy the tap with the "over all length" and DIY in an afternoon with head still on block. I talked to Tim over at industrial diesel.. think he wanted like 700 for head studs,pump work, valve springs.. seemed kinda steep.. understand about 100 of it is machine work on rockers, but damn really?

well your gonna need a bottoming tap inorder to do the studs I dont have one but I will ask around and see if one of my buddies has one. 700 really isnt that steep to do the studs, valve springs, you have to have the push rods machined with the new springs installed and then you do pump work the price adds up
