    So when I go and change my clutch out in a few weeks, I am getting RRM's head gasket kit. I was told by Blanchards that I will need a new one. But besides that, what all do you guys think I will need? I've got the MB8-HDSS from ACT. It comes with the pressure plate, the clutch disc, and the alignment tool. And I'm aware this is going to be a bitch to do without a lift. But I'm not up for a $700 install job which I can "possibly" do myself. I figure doing the head gasket and clutch will take me a weekend to do. Any info is very much appreciated.

    Anyway here is the link to there clutches. It's the second one down on the left column.

    Edited your post so it's more legible. Not a bad price for a nice clutch.

    I just hope it doesnt rain that weekend because Im doing this outside and not in a garage. I have a 2002 Lincoln Navigator thats dead in front my garage. So I won't be able to get in since there is another car in there. Needs a new battery, starter, alternator, and speedometer cluster. I also think it needs a new power steering pump. It didn't sound to good when it did run while it was turning.

    Hunk: I wasn't legible? I need to proof read. lol

    i just hope you have all the torque specs and proper tools to do the job, leaving a head bolted to the wrong torque can lead to catastrophic failure.

    I don't have the torque specs just yet. Im looking for a repair manual for the 02-03 lancer currently. If I can't find one, I am most likely just doing clutch work that day and heading over to Mitsu and asking the mechanic about it. Hopefully they are not evil and can help me out a lil bit.
