    Does anyone know if/what valve keepers from other B20/18/16/H22/23 engines are compatible with the B20A5? I have heard a rumor that the H22/23 springs and retainers are compatible, but nothing about the keepers and whether that included the variants of the B series or not. Any help is welcome!

My pipe was fairly corroded all over, but what was causing the most trouble was the end that fits into...

    Hey luders, So, I had to create another account, shit went sour with the old one when passwords were forced to change. Anyways, I got a question, the previous owner of the rotten 4ws shell I bought decided not to fix the leaking highpressue steering line. The crap is all over the...
