As you all know Chris F. and Brian are good friends because they did Formula Drift together when Chris lived on the east coast. Everyone knows that Chris went to a VR38 engine. The reason, he went through an engine every event when he was running the VQ37HR. They tried everything to keep the heads from lifting. His next step was to Sleeve the block with Darton MID sleeves. If you go back and look at his Instagram stories he has one driving back to the pits and the engine was rattling. His statement was, "She's tired". That is exactly what it sounds like if you pop a headgasket. So I just skipped through all that experimentation and went straight to the Darton MID sleeves. I just saw no reason to do anything else.
