So today was pretty good. Got a bunch of work done. I hope I did everything right...
Well start off with the parts:
Gaskets arrived today
My arp head studs that arrived last night.
So after I got the gaskets. Today was my day off so I immediately went to put stuff together!
Head studs and gasket put on. I thought these would be a pain. But all I had to do was put them in hand tight per directions....
Put the head on and torqued er down. Did 3 torques. Un did and retorqued per directions.
Timing. This wasn't hard at all. I made it hard on myself. I'm used to timing belts. You put it on. Turn the motor over by hand 2 revolutions and see if everything lines up right? Well that's exactly what I did. Put everything on. Turned it over. Needless to say with timing chains they won't line up for 40-50 turns.... So I felt like an idiot there. I re did the timing thinking I messed up. :lol:
Then where I left it for tonight. Everything sealed and torqued per fsm. Still have quite a bit to do but the top half of the motor is all set.
Tomorrow my egr block off plate should arrive as should the dual 10" electric fans I ordered the other day. Car is turning out pretty solid. Main thing I have left is modifying the manifold to get rid of the butterfly valves. Then all egr and emissions will be fully removed!
