i am sure that they would allow you to do it either way.... core exchange or reuse core. just keep in mind that machine shops are generally slow turn-around... so if you send them your core, it could take several weeks before they get it back... and it could take a week or two before they have the time to start building it once its back. so your overall down time will be much greater.
with the VHR engine, I would only be concerned about keeping my core with the cylinder heads, personally. that is my plan. I have an entire spare VHR long block, but i will only be using the block casting and crank for my build. I will reuse my cars cylinder heads. Also, I like the idea of keeping my OEM core 100% intact and reuseable should i ever want to put it back in the car or if I blow up my built engine and want to put it stock and ditch the project LOL

so are the VHR headgaskets the same as HR headgaskets? I wonder if the HR/VHR oil pumps can hold up at 8000rpm unlike the DE timebombs. |
