Crewbies,
Please send your good vibes, happy thoughts, karma, luck, cross your fingers or whatever else you can do for my luck.
I got the heads back from the shop yesterday. Me and Paully put them on, set lash, etc. Tonight I will continue the re-assembly. Hopefully the Sled will be back on the road Saturday and happy with her increased compression.
I would really like to be done with the fricking hassles for a while so send the good juju!
THANKS!
BTW - Paul once again worked his butt off on my car. So many of you have helped me since I joined up with this Motley crew a few years ago. Many thanks!

Let me make some changes to the FTP and see if I can't get a image directory set up. |

Well she is running. Need to set the valve lash again... sounds like i have a few noisy lifters. Also need to tune again. A full point of compression changes things apparently.
Still have an issue at high rpm decel (like from 6k in second and let off) where I get a nice blue cloud out the back. The original assumption there was that the valve seals were toast which while true did not fix this issue.
Butt dyno says more power but BD lies sometimes.
Thanks for the happy thoughts and ju-ju b's

it sucks that your original issue aint resolved....yet
take a deep breath & no not of the exhaust & tackle it again
more horsies are always good
maybe you should consider changing the name of your car from the RED sled to the RED gremlin  |
