Well I know now that my leak of antifreeze is definitely from the intake gasket. I have a small leak directly under the supercharge area. I tasted the substance and its sweet bingo. Well what im wondering is what kind of performance parts are out there that I could put in while changing the intake gasket. Yes im talking about the valves and lifters. How much other work would there be too get a cam even yes the performance part. Reason being im asking all this is beacuse heck about 1/3 of my engine is comin off so why not do it all if giving the chance. Appreicate the help people.

If your going to reseal the intake then go with a water to air intercooler. That is why I installed mine. Your right there.

i think just like you 1997, if you gotta take it apart, you might as well mod it while it's apart.

How far do you wanna go with your mods? If your gonna do a cam don't do rockers. If your not gonna do a cam a set of 1.9 rockers would be nice. Intercooler is a good one a cooler Tstat a new S/C coupler

They help to eliminate KR. Which basically restores lost hp. A cooler Tstat is a must when going smaller on the S/C pulley.

Tstat is a thermostat, a drilled 180 would be good one to go with.
