I kinda dropped off the face of the earth for cars for a while.
Work had me coming in weeks straight with no weekends. I was coming home, sleeping, waking up early to go to work, come home, and sleep some more. I maybe ate 4 times in a week.
Then when I got some time DF was down and I said, screw it. Now I am back though
hehehe... dats right. Ride free or crash and burn.

In reference to a picture someone posted on this board a while back. What appeared to be Carbon Fiber was a patterned cloth on someone's hood. I believe spikey or 03neonrt posted it as sarcasm. Someone posted it as sarcasm and it was too good pass up for a quote.
See this is why we need this forum to send out an email that says, "The forum is back full strength now, come on back!"

Since there's a few more heads in the room now, I have asked this question a few times and no one has hit on it yet...
Regarding the 2.0 SOHC... If I deck my head about 0.011" (and assuming I went with OEM thickness gasket, I haven't matched anything up quite yet) I have two concerns:
1. Would I have enough room for valve clearance throughout the stroke? I assume yes just from thermal fluctuations, but I figure I would ask just in case it's on the edge of clearance or not.
2. Can the stock NGC already handle/negotiate the higher 10:1 compression, and not stray too far outside the fuel/timing tables to throw a code (or worse)? Obviously the R/T ECU can, but I was curious about what my SOHC w/NGC could take before I had to worry about other alternatives.
