For the machine shop its easy, they do that stuff.

The ps hex insert will probably cost ya a little more

All you gotta do is take your stuff to the shop and see.

honestly the stuff is so easy im surprised i have so many wanting my guy to do it....

my guy physically bores the tower bores close then i take it to a machine shop and have them finish hone them to spec.

and anyone with a chop saw and a press can do the PS insert.

its just a question of how professional you would like your stuff, thats all.

No. You'll have rubber gaskets of different shape on both sides. It would never seal. I'm also pretty sure the 94-earlier quad4 intake tower is longer than the 95 quad4 and LD9. Besides, you need both bolts for the power steering, otherwise the end of the cam tower won't seal.




I have no signiture

^^ correct. you cannot use an LD9 cap on any quad 4 tower other than the 95 which is the same damn thing. 87-94, newp.
