VDSY Member 36 Member For: 3y 5m 1d Posted 11/01/21 05:03 AM Share Posted 11/01/21 05:03 AM Hi All, after buying a ute at the end of the year, oil pump gears shattered and am getting it fixed soon hopefully, now while this is getting fixed should I get aftermarket headstuds, harmonic balancer, hd timing chain and guides? from atomic or another source? do I really need half of these? running 460hp has a few mods already, just trying to future proof it, sorry if this has been asked 1000 times... Maybe upgrading to a different turbo in the near future, probably a 76 G2, car will only ever see 98 and doubt it will see any track either, just a nice quick street car.. also at what power would I need headstuds done? or tailshaft and diff? how much can they handle? and what other sources could I buy these from? any info is appreciated. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion is inspect every so often. Hd timing chain. Yes.Guides and lower sprocket are a good investment. Plenty don't have issues, a few have nothing but trouble. OEM or atomic is good. Tailshaft and diff are usually pretty strong, traction/abuse dependant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
