****, you on the home stretch now. i'll go ahead and say welcome home man, and thanks. after my second tour i had enough of that place and got out. you think its dusty now should have seen it in OIF I. the difference in a year between I-III was unbelievable. we cleaned it up alot, but it will always be a hell hole no matter what you do. about the best camp to be on (ive been on all of them) but its in a bad spot as far as attacks go just outside the wire.

Thumbs up 317 aluminum heads

I own an '01 LQ4 with aluminum heads (#317 casting). This is the first year for aluminum heads on an LQ4. The steel head version was identical as far as flow(ports and chambers were identical).
