I've had to take a couple weeks off my build to take care of some stuff.I spent a good 30 min on the phone with Dave at Lindsey Racing today.He was very patient and helpful making sure I got every little gasket,o ring and nut.So by next week I'll get started on reassembling alll this.I still need to pick up my camtower from podercoat and polish.Thanks again Dave !!!!!!!!

Where did you get that waterpump? I haven’t seen a pump of that design in a real long time – no belt guard. Is it really new or is it a rebuilt pump? BTW – most places only have the turbo pump now, they supply an undrilled turbo style plastic hose connector as a block off plate.
I am also intrigued with the stripped apart tensioner – are you modifying that?
Nice list of parts – looks like it will be a rocket when you are done.

Thanks Chris,the waterpump came with the VR setup I got from Jeremy(2bridges).As far as the tensioner,my mechanic removed it so we could clean up some grimy bits.Are you seeing a problem I'm not aware of?Thanks for your comments,Joel

Most folks remove the three mounting bolts (on the bracket still on the block) and remover the tensioner without taking it apart. It’s a lot easier!

I ordered couple pieces from Forge Motorsports.We had to pull the head and send it out for some machine work.Simple rebuild,replace one intake valve,seals,guides and LR steam vent kit.Finally next week we can start putting it all back together.
