I did, you must not have been keeping up!

Right. SB's shop needs to up their precision. Good shops have been on the red C hair standard for years. )

On a separate note, I was doing some ahem... research on porn sites recently and noticed c hair of all varieties is becoming increasingly scarce... oh my.

Ok
i give in
i made my choice
i really need to know how to positively identify the aforementioned 1.7 vs 1.8
also should i go with new or used any pros/cons and what price difference should i expect?

Now your splitting c-hairs . Back in the day the c-hair was our smallest unit of measure . If someone said move it by half a c-hair they were biotch slapped .

Not so sure about that.

I have an original C Hair.

That's why I don't smile much.

When I was younger, I proudly displayed it.

Now, I get sick of people telling me I have a hair stuck in my teeth.

It's your $, so your choice. It's not like we will look down on you for it.

You asked for free advice and that's what we gave you.

Nothing wrong with a Full Brazilian..

If that means beardless clams I'm with ya Jake )

I have 1.8's in my motor. Got the first set of Scorpion 1.8's off the line thanks to Bob M. Same pushrod length as 1.7's but had to machine a deeper slot in the guide plates on the intakes. I can't give you a b4 and after comparison because everything else in the motor changed. 1.8's are the same price as 1.7's I don't buy used engine parts anymore new parts are enough trouble let alone used...

If everybody(myself included) keeps saying change the cam it might be a f@#cking clue...don't keep asking the same question if you don't want the same answer....
