Do you think im screwed? if im not mistaken those are pits.. shallow but pitts..

I bought a head gasket seat of ebay for real cheap.. just for all the intake and oil gaskets and panned to use a nice mhg.
BUT now there seems to be pitts granted i havent really started to re-surface the block.

Should i hounistly just use my cheapy composite HG and build another 7m on the side while i enjoy my car but not to its FULL potentiol.

Wow... that's a shit location for a deep pit. like that. I'd measure the depth and if it's more than you can get a HG to make up for you'll probably have to add a shim. You should consult a machinist, but IMO that's too close to the cylinder to fix any other way; I'm not an expert in these things though.

I had my friend come over and measure the depth, hes got some weird shit and fixing it tonight.

Hes one of the intelligent people ive ever met. hes a master tech but anyone could all ASE's if they tried hard enough. so i like to let his cars to the talking for him. and well.. Wow.

so once its fixed and lapped out time to put here back togeather.

Does anyone know that tourqe for arp studs? and any wireing or fuel hook up tips or tricks, from what i remember the harness go through the middle of the intake.

Well, good luck... I wouldn't run it. If it were just another 7mm out it might be another story... How deep is the cavity anyway and how many others are there?

Be interested to know what he used, could be cardboard from a cornflake`s packet or Devcon perhaps ?
