i'll bet that the head is still good and they just needed to re-torque the bolts...

On the center cylinders it looked like he was pointing between the valves and precups but it's pretty hard to tell. I wonder where they got a crack free head from....

there only crappy cause nobody ever changes fluid or filters in them, this one was built by me to take over 500hp, it has full kevlar clutch packs and a custom tune one the tcu, the converter is locked 2-4th gear, the reason i did it because nobody else did, and im glad i did, its way faster than the manual because you never loose boost from the t3-t4 turbo, im running 40+psi boost, its only 1.6l so it takes a lot to spool it, the auto keeps it in boost all the time why are dragsters auto?

hahahaha!
