Back for More
Finally got my heads back about 7pm Saturday evening. I hit it pretty hard Saturday night and all day today, made a lot of progress but I still have maybe 2 or 3 hours of work before it's ready to crank, that's if everything goes well.. Here's a few random pics of the build and the past 24 hours of my life lol.
Starting with another nice Pro-mod at my machine shop when I picked up my heads.
Damn
Now for mine..
Heads measured 47 cc's this time, the new intake valves made a huge difference, nearly 10cc's smaller.
Measuring the head stud length to make sure there won't be any issues with them bottoming out
Last look at the pistons before the heads go on
Fast forward to degreeing the cams, right side came in at 111 with A8 setting and the left at 111.25 with A2.
The numbers on the head are the collapsed lifter measurements.
rear main in
flexplate on
Here's how it sits now
I forgot how much work this is! It's all the little stuff that takes forever to get done, and stupid stuff like the right side exhaust went right back on no problem however the left side was being a bitch so I had to fight it for about 30-40 minutes, stupid problems that take a long time to deal with. Hopefully there won't be any more stupid problems..
