hello how f@$k are yah?

 

abit of a update. got every back from my machinist besides the head. hope fully head will be done by tomorrow arvo.

 

machinist was giving it a bit of a headjob and he was surprised how much casting was protruding inside of the ports.

 

crank is in, rear main is on. hopefully by tomorrow pistons/timing chain on

 

anyways if i get my head back before friday, fingers cross will be back together and in the car by late monday night...

 

check how much they had to shave off my rods to get them balanced :)

[Taz_Rx]

Because it can crystalise and crack the metal.

i think its in the engines best interest that he destroys that standard manifold.

 

so he can throw it out!!!! and put some extractors on!

 

car is looking real good evan g, good to see a nice clean build.

[Evan G]
