Like I said, keep temptation away.

+1 for knowing LSD's going during daily usage.

Also you don't know if the previous owner was an asshat or not.

Having your car down for longer than planned is better than it being down unplanned.

I understand, but it's a small price to pay for some insurance, and "when" it's time to upgrade for whatever reason, he can sell a welded diff.

Umm we'll. I have my new Ross that should be here Friday
Then it's all hands on engine, I'm going to spend all free time getting this pain in my ass back together lol.

The bolts are new, Check the stretch with a Micrometer according to the manual.. If they are too long, they need to go too..

Already done and they are all good.
Everything was torqued down for maybe 15 min.
Kind of a piss off to find out The Ross were to long after the head was on.
Talk about stressfull torquing down the head bolts. Everyone of them felt as if there were going to break on me.
