    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.
