engine is back in, just need to connect all the wiring back up
pistons are nice and clean now too

yeah looked at the MLS gaskets, only place I could find that had them wanted $195 each

hopefully no issues when I kick it in the guts tomorrow

were ACL monotorque that came with the ACL rebuild kit I used

does not appear to be any damage to the head or block, need to get a straight edge in the morning to check the head before putting it all back together
Hopefully no warping otherwise its a trip to get them machined

took the heads off today after pulling the engine out knew I should have taken them off first but anyway rings are OK
no need to tear motor down, just need to check that it has not been warped

yep same guy have done all the mods he suggests, deburring the oil pump area of the timing cover, adding drip holes over each cam lobe will see what my bearing look like after around 20K of use as I am about to pull the engine out due to developing some major blow by a couple of days ago :rant: Hope...

yeah oil galley is one of the ones that you do for the oil mod on these engines, from memory the oil feed for the big ends are fed from the smallest oil galley normally you take them out to 7/16 or 3/8, on one of the other forums some guys have said that with 3/8 you can loose oil pressure if left i...

there is this one

I think whiteline or nolathane also make them now too

can't wait to hear how the new engine goes at the track

second leaving the tune the way it is, sounds tough as

Given you have slightly higher boost I would say yes, if you have an wideband O2 sensor fitted you will get more accurate tuning on it

is it just in TP that the WB is out or is the display of the WB itself also out?
If it is just your reading in TP then the calculation needs tweeking

I have the Innovate WB and the reading in TP and the display of the WB are within 0.1 AFR of each other

the cluster looks to be in great nick

The door trim turned out great, did you just use vinyl paint or something else?
