It's been a month since the last update. Most of that has been spent waiting for parts and getting the head rebuilt. Today I finally got to put something together!
Clean, shiny stuff
Port matched and bowls blended...
Oh dear God, now comes the timing...
This is what the new injectors from Vick Autosports look like...
A quick story- I put some assembly lube around the piston walls. I couldn't figure out what to do with the cap for the lube, which is shaped like a little nozzle. I thought I left it on the block or on the car, but couldn't find it after I was done. I looked over the whole work area repeatedly and became pretty agitated. I tried spinning the block on the mount to see if the cap might have gone down the oil return galley. A week later I was contemplating taking off the oil pan because, well, it had to go somewhere! I had taped off the lube top to keep it safe from the elements. For some reason I lifted the tape, and the cap was on the lube all along. At least I didn't take the engine apart before finding it. I'm only 42, too young for these senior moments.
