I drilled a hole in the pipe connecting the radiator to the engine to vent the boost gases "if any" took it out and got it warm "taking it easy for once" then I did a HARD 2nd pull to 20psi, that fitting looked like a waterhose on full blast! lol, theres no doubt that the HG is blown to bits, but it still pulls good under boost lol... im scared to death of that pump! im probably just going to keep everything together, mark the front timing belt top and bottom, take it apart, clean the hell out of the head and block, clean the pistons free of any rediculous buildup and smash it all back together! i got to looking around on google... who makes a good stainless HG? and any idea what the head stud's measure? im gonna have to price all this out =/ damn, ive gotta spend money now, shit |

The only place that has the stainless head gasket is volvo. Tasca used to carry them, but upon calling them, they only had one headgasket in stock, and the guy had no way to verify if it indeed was a steel one or a fiber. After the one was sold, he said the number was comming up as permanent back order or pretty much NLA. If you can get a steel gasket through a volvo dealer, that should be fine with new head bolts. Otherwise, you will probably want to do arp head studs if you plan to really run it hard. You could do both but thats overkill. ARP studs have held 40lbs of boost on a 3 notch standard head gasket.

BTW, the head studs are made for a 1.6 vw diesel by ARP, you need 1-1/2 sets. If you call them directly, you can buy them individually rather than two sets like you would end up buying from a distributor like summit or someplace.

ill call volvo today and see if I can get the HG still lol. I intend on pushing the full ammount of boost "20-30psi" or whatever that little turbo can fully put out with no wastegate. Ive got no idea what condition the rod bearings are in... are they pretty durable? or is about 200k their lifespan lol, keep in mind is been pretty well taken care of until I got it, and i believe its got 268k... ALSO, i dug around and I cant find really any other clutches except exedy OEM, what do you guys prefer and where can I get one... or more like what does it cross fit since I can never find anything SPECIFICALLY for the d24 and M46 tranny lol |

I'm running the stock turbo diesel pressure plate, (german Sachs) and a clutchnet 6 puck with a sprung center. It grabs HARD as evidence I have a blown M46 to show for it after only 3 days. They also have some other discs like organic, kelvar, etc... Unless your really trying to push this thing, I would maybe get the step down from the 6 puck. Clutchnet also sells upgraded pressure plates, but they are pretty pricey. They also told me they can rebuild your stock pressure plate with stronger springs. Thats cheaper than buying outright, but then again the stock german pressure plate is pretty hefty. Lots of the turbo redblock guys use the TD pressure plate as an upgrade. The lower end of these engines is pretty stout, and being non turbo it should have had an easier life on the bearings assuming the oil was changed and they used something decent. If your not already, you should be running synthetic 5-40 like rotella or something.
We are taking my friend Alex's 83 760 out to the track tonight sporting a 3" hood stack, t3/t4 turbo, head studs, and 28lbs of boost! I don't think the clutch is going to hold it very well. Should give you an idea of the potential with average bolt ons and a tweaked pump. We will post video up tomorrow probably! Jason

I can sell you a german TD pressure plate through the shop I work at (archway, in the vender section). You should check some of the other places too.

Haven't heard of pheonix... I would stick with something proven like a german plate.
