...BTW your Bieber avatar is awesome.-Malone
enough boost is when you have 3 dimple marks in the hood from the valve cover nuts..
Whoa! Out of curiosity, what's the longest you've held it 1500+ before?
Well, for the celebration of the birth of Christ I am sending back the Giles pump to see if he has anymore magic to do to her.I took it off last night and replaced it with a 12mm Cummins pump. I have it timed and hopefully after I eat and clean the chimney I will have it running. If not I will have to get it back on before work Monday.On another note as I was reading my stuff above, I did get the poly engine and trans mounts. I installed both, drove 1/2 mile, turned around drove another 1/2 mile home, and took the rear engine poly mount out. Too much vibration at idle-2,000rpm, but running down the road it was awesome. I left the poly trans mount in and it has worn in well. It was still a bit much at first, but now it only vibrates bad at idle.
Just got the call from the engine borer... the crank and bores were fine. He was considering honing and putting it back since he couldn't find pistons for it....but I had given him pistons to bore the motor to. He eventually found them. He said it would be about a week. He also found a sleeve for the intermediate shaft. THe mains and rods he said showed little to no wear at all and I could reuse the thrust washers I also took apart the head last night. I will hopefully be sending it and the IP out tomorrow. FULL PORT and undercut valve job for the head and GILES for the IP and injectors...you only live once right? I am breaking the bank for this so I hope all goes perfectly and no problems or do overs. I am hoping with the Giles IP and injectors and the fully ported head to make some more HP over stock, but still get some mileage. I will post some before and after head port pics as soon as I get it back.
