I was trying to convince him to run something custom(similar to a stock SR20DE intake), but for now he is retaining the OEM intake.

He found a near perfect fit - http://www.catcams.com/products/valvespr...CT_id=6851

A point - these rods did need a bit of work to be used. The big end of the rod had some taper (.001"), and the IDs were inconsistent - varied by .0008".... but they are still far less costly then getting them from Carrillo. While there was some issues to be addressed, these issues were caught, and CORRECTED by a professional race shop!





Finally, I've been finishing the head, getting the "new" intake cam to fit, and getting the "new" exhaust valves to fit the best of the exhaust cams I have. Some were done with shims, while others had the valve "tipped" a few ten thousandths.





more to come.....
