Thanks all!

damn nice.

Thanks!

Damnit I ran into some more trouble today... setting the valve clearance for the solid lifter cams. So I got the cams in, lube 'em up and start setting the clearance. Measure one cam, okay... do the other cam... now the shim is gouging the cam lobe. ****! There's a whole bunch of gouges on the intake cam... ****! I might send them out to see if I they can fix them... ****!

I'm passively pissed off right now... damnit!

[Shades]

98% done! WOO!!

Head is done, and on the block... damnit for forgetting my camera today.

Pictures on Monday for sure... just missing a water pump, and timing components.

blue was such a good choice for the cam gears. totally doesn't matter the block is a tad off.

d'oh! i was totally mixing you and projectmx up, he started that poll about which color to use. he has a blue valve cover and you've got a blue block. they both look amazing.

[Shades]

Thanks!...

As you've seen every bloody nook and cranny of yeh ole bp's...

I have a 95-99BP and a IHI RHB5 VF2 Turbo(7psi Stock) with Oil and Coolant lines.


Q: Where do you suggest I drill and tap for oil in/out and coolant...

I may be using a sandwhich plate for the oil...adding a second filter and a cooler when i go high boost..


From the looks of it tapping the waterpump on the pipe side and then tapping the block into the jacket looks good?...
