Powdercoater got sick. Car still alone in the garage. She just wants to go for a cruise, but can't until she gets her intake back.

Finally received my intake manifold and valve cover from the powdercoater tonight, so I tried to get some stuff done.


Note: I tried installing the head with the ARPs threaded into the block..... after much of a fight ended up removing them, installing the head in the dowels, and then threading the studs in. 


Got the head torqued down, IM, all of the TB stuff ran, dipstick, throttle, etc. A decent bit of progress. The next night I get I'm going to time it and finish her up. Can't wait. 






Taped this off, started sanding with the angle grinder, and realized I had water in my tank so I quit.

She runs! Head is kinda loud around 2k rpms, I'm going to try and adjust the valves and see if it improves. I'm actually quite surprised at how lopey the cam is. Idles/revs great, very excited to get to cruising.


But first....I need to finish bleeding the cooling system.
