    Here's a small update for you guys.

    Car was on the dyno and and we were doing good. Then I noticed when the car was running it was smoking from the vent on the valve cover even after a pull it would smoke for ~10 mins.

    Did a leak down test and ha the following.

    #1. 3% leak down
    #2. 10% leak down
    #3. 12% leak down
    #4. 70% leak down

    3-10% leak down is normal. So needless to say cyl number 4 is way over limit. Turns out a ring snapped and more my cylinder out of round.

    So now the block is scrap. I refuse to reuse a block who's cyl. wore out of round like that.

    So it's back to the drawing board. But here is a video that I think shows off the cams. Please tell me what you think.

    And heres the new steering wheel I got and installed it's a "personal" wheel black leather w/ red stitch.





    And here is the potential header I'm installing. Will find out if I can fit it once the motor goes back in.

    And an update for some also. I have been having an issue when on the drag strip that my clutch would slip. So bein that I drive my car around town and also take it to the 1320' I needed to solve that issue. So shrike searching k20a.org. I found a used CC twin disc. Pressure plate type "C" 900whp.

    So I sent it off to CC to get inspected and rebuilt. (check the disc hubs and PP and it needed a flywheel)

    Here's the goodies:





    And the flywheel here. Owner said the flywheel bolts came loose while making a pass.

    Damn that's crazy man. Is that one of the reasons you put another motor in the car?

    And I got the twin disc for 350. Not bad considering all it needed was a 350 dollar flywheel. Huh?

    Those flywheels are nuts, talked about fcuked to shit. Good idea sending it to CC though, and that steering wheel does look awesome. Makes me jelly, but I love my OEM wheel just because it has the radio controls and cruise controls all set nicely. Still jelly tho

    Yea man. It almost looked like someone practiced welding on it. Lol. It's costing me 400+shipping to rebuild it. But I got it for 350. So 700 for a brand new twin disc is perfect in my eyes. Lol

    What did it cost to have them inspect your twin disc? My buddy is selling one...
