Rebuild take IV

[vdubkilla]

I wish I had a lift!!! Would make things so much easier!

I have a nice garage and wish I had put a lift in it but oh well it keeps me movin doin stuff on the shop floor

Yea it takes time. I just hope you stay in the game and don't lose faith! You're like I am. Do it once, do it right

Agreed !

LOL good viewpoint. And very true, definitely keeps some of us out of trouble when not running. But some people (cough cough [MENTION=824]SAX JONZ[/MENTION] cough cough) seem to get in trouble either way.



I want to get some legit threads going so we can pack out the info on this forum. Coolant flushes, HG swaps, etc. That's what we're lacking.




Exactly. My worst part is not having anywhere to work on my car aside from my driveway. I have a huge lift at my house, but my father's big ass box truck is in it. Sucks for me sometimes lol. No biggie, can't keep me down!

I have a court date in a few weeks Damit !
Sounds like you gotta talk him into movin the truck out

Yeah, I'm not a total noob and not a stranger to wrenching but the welding I have to just say not ever gonna happen. I'd be happy to learn how to rebuild and engine. Really happy.

Its really not hard to do with a ton of info at our fingertips and good parts I just built my first k20 last winter and it's running stronger than ever seeing 9k + every time I drive it !

I would be really appreciative for write ups and experiences. I am serious about learning all that I can about this supercharger I have in my car. I get it, hopefully I can at some point in time contribute. :-)

best way to learn is to do it and ask questions along the way just be careful who ya listen to !

You can run a low 12 no problem. My personal best was a 11.9 at 330whp. You just need slicks




Yea man the problems are all coming out back to back but the new motor is basically done just needs assembled with head Gasket and oil pump and new water pump setup. This car is what keeps me going I guess lol



Lmaooooo [MENTION=824]SAX JONZ[/MENTION] gets in Trouble on bikes as well.



You'll get threw man is a learning thing. Start small work your way up. I started with oil changes.

The head I had ported is finished now. It's a mild port job. Slight reshaping of the bowl ect. Exhaust ports weren't touched except for the short turn. Here's what I have for now as pics go. Valves are Manley race spec valves oversized +1mm intake only. Custom seat angles and shapes for better flow around the valve.

Head on my car is coming off and getting sent out to be shaved. Apparently the boost was creeping under the gasket or worse...

Really? I'm surprised. Did you see any coolant being mixed with oil?

No. But radiator is stout and was vacuum seed, thermo was drilled, runs perfect but once it boosts it overheats. The head could be warped? Surely boosting doesn't equate to FORD.
