| With 4 extra engine pulls I have to weigh how valuable my time is. You had to buy 2 sets of valve stems right? After all the parts and work, are there still parts Kyle uses that were better than yours? Cleaned the water galley? I just think $1200-ish for JDMs, multiple pulls, bad parts, re-working and your time really brought them inline with each other. I'm sure your build is good now, I'm jusst pointing it out for the OP. Kyle's stage 1 LB includes:
