Yes you can use the supplied lube or engine oil, either will suffice. That lube is also great for installing fuel injectors or any other orings really. I saw a bucket of those little lube tubes on...

These transmissions are not worth rebuilding. You toss them out and replace for about $2000.

Changing or removing speed and rev limiters can be done with a tune. Find an UpRev or ECUTEK tuner to...

You could help with the r&d!!

If you arent going for over 800hp, I would recommend just doing a normal piston and rod build and leaving the cylinders alone. Less is more, when it comes to getting to spend some quality time behind...

The 1/2" headstuds in DEs was the fix until the L19/CA625 made them obsolete and unnecessary hassle. The original ARP2000 material had very low torque specification and was causing headgasket...
