So who was it on crsx ? That's messed up he sold you that. I'd be sure to put him on blast as the community needs to know just what kinda seller he is .Quote:

On a side note, dropped off crank @ the machine shop n the machinist was like wow you got a new crank that fast.
He doesn't know that you work fast lol. How's the shifter setup coming along

Finally got around to finish off the fuse box re re-locate and had the 3 needed clips rewired and loomed!!
Also mounted radiator and had to re position the FMIC due to fitment with radiator. Overall its coming along nicely..

Got the call i been waiting for, machine shop was done and ready to give back my stuff.
The shop met my expectations and had a fast turn around, would've been faster if the crank situation hadn't happened.
For any locals in need of machine work, no matter how big or small the job might be, i highly recommend them to you.

I had them do the following:
Bore the crank .5 over
Hot tank it
Polish & balance crankshaft (with Flywheel & PP)
Resurface flywheel
Now onto the pix!!

GE oil squirter block off plugs installed
http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2881/1...d879574c_c.jpg
Looks like they did amazing work! As for the oil squirter block-offs, what is the benefit of that?
Maintains higher system oil pressure- a big must for high hp motors.Quote:

Does everyone block off the squirrels? From what I've read/heard about them they can be life savers.
My k24 block doesn't have oil squirters. It could have been when it was sleeved they were removed. Not sure tho.

Last minute Black Friday shopping got me this!!
Gotta hate this daytime saving bs and having not enough lighting to do work in the garage. The answer to my swearing has arrived, thanks to the wifey who got me this.

-120 bright white LED lamps
-Detachable magnetic stretch cord ends for flexible attachment options
-Recessed fold-away hooks
-Rechargeable Li-ion battery
-Shatterproof polycarbonate tube
-Two brightness settings
-Comes with 12V cigarette lighter adapter and 120V wall adapter
That looks like a nice shop light and they seem hard to find they either don't stay where you want them or they blind ya .That looks like a decent light ya got there .
The ends are un-screwable and have magnets on there for the i guess OEM hoods. The hooks though on this one hug nice on the hood and dont slide, that was my #1 fear when i looked at it cause the cf hood.Quote:

Got my monster fuel setup mapped out!!!

I'd put the aeromotive 340 in tank that way the 044 can't out feed the 255. Always a paranoia of mine with in line fuel pumps. But besides that very nice man can't wait to see it wrapped up.Quote:

thanks for the heads up, ill run the full fuel setup through my tuner before finalizing it. We pretty much only shooting for low 600's mid 600's so the way we mapped it out itd be good for what we want and well all depends on the injs i decide to go with in the end.
Im down, I need to pick up somd -16 fittings and hose for my fuel setup :angel:Quote:
