My point JAMES was that for the cost of a stock SR swap i can put all of that into a CA and wont have to worry about " reliability" And no Autozone doesnt sell all of the parts i bought. However i did but all new timing idler pully, timing tensioner, and some gaskets from autozone. and the reason they dont supply SR parts is because they aernt in america where as CA18DE are. And it was your choice not to replace oil pump, water pump, etc. And u and phil have been lucky. You cant compare ALL CA's to christian. He got a 400 dollar engine and slapped it in his car. Thats like me bringing up tony and why one of his SR rods was sparking down the 14 freeway? you cant base all opinions off of one experiance. There are plenty of High HP CA's and SR's its all personal preferance. i know phil is going to write a book on this so i will save my typing for that.
PS i forgot to include my Greddy HG and timing belt in the cost of the swap either.
