That new Link interface is much easier to read. Excellent.

Looks like they found out that bold font does have a purpose.

Brian,

Are you looking to adopt a 30 something with mechanical aptitude?

Does your coolant drain valve on the block have a barb to attach a hose to? Draining the coolant makes a mess for me and that looks like it would work beautifully. Thanks

theedge

Yes, its NPT male on one end and NPT female on the other. I have a hose barb that threads into it with a length of hose on it, so I just stick the hose into the coolant jug and open the valve, which can be safety wired shut. I have the same thing on my radiator.

Depends on how many Benjamin Franklins come along with the adoption

Crankshaft in, still have to do the rods and pistons. The rod bolt stretch gauge I ordered was about 0.02 inches too small to fit the rod bolts






Intake manifold powder coated!






EGT bung in each runner

This arrived for me.... Used Motec PLM, and a new NTK sensor. $600 for the PLM, $200 for the new sensor But now I will never worry about accuracy At $600 for 135 grams, its probably one of the most expensive $ to gram parts on my car...

Also got a new water pump, two new tie rod ends for $45 for the pair (from Rock Auto of all places), and a bunch of other stuff. Also on the way is two new Bosch flat response knock sensors.

Looking good when are you thinking you will all done?

theedge

Itll be later this summer I hope

Pistons and oil pump and a balance shaft installed... Tomorrow comes more hopefully.









And my garage assistants playing with their favorite toy, a 5 cent plastic spring.

Are they named piston 1, 2, 3 & 4?

The one playing with the spring looks like the one I have a home(probably eating or sleeping at the moment). Brian when you said that you are using 034 hardware for the exhaust, did you also get one of their turbos?

theedge

Haha that would have been good, but no Black/white one is Sylvester since he continually gets into trouble and is always causing a disturbance, the three others are almost identical. One is bigger, she is Bear (was a lot bigger than the others earlier). The other two are the same, I think of them as the Twins.

Their other favorite toy is a big sheet of plastic drop sheet.

Nope, Vitesse Stage 2 for now.

Found a degree wheel that works perfectly, im going to try to degree everything up properly. It is a Mr Gasket "MRG-6120", $30 from Summit/Jegs/etc. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MRG-6120/ and it mounts on the crank bolt perfectly as you can see.






Also got my shipment from CEP Degree wheel with a cam trigger setup, AOS delete, shorter legs for the CEP fuel rail to go with my Injector Dynamics injectors (shorter than standard injectors, the rail now sits quite a bit lower). I asked Dave for the legs because the purple extenders for the ID's offended my meager sense of style. I think he is going to stock these as well, making the ID1000's a perfect if expensive option for high power 951's.
