Looking good!

 

I always preferred my thongs done before the wedding too! Hopefully with a damn good looking blond in 'em.

 

Sounds like the bachelor party planning has already begun.

 

Lmao I guess I should read before hitting submit

 

keep up the good work big guy.. did u end up shaving the head down a bit? i replaced all my springs this past week and shaved down the exhaust side.. needed clearance.. had 14 busted inner springs lol almost a full 16

 

Will this be a party an Put-in Bay??? Do they still have the worlds longest bar?

Good luck on gettng everything together this weekend. Just make sure to measure everything good and have a good torque wrench. This is fun and interesting learning time.

 

I did. So the supertechs do have there fair share of problems. Also with the supertechs the rocker arms can touch the retainer, but mine has about a paper thickness inbetween so I am good.

 

The engine guy said that I can just put it together. He has everything machined so I shouldn't need any measuring now.

 

Until the lash adjusters bleed down a little at high RPM. Then they can scrape.

 

Made some progress tonight. Got the bottom end together.

 

Looks like you are going to have a nice build!

 

i also had that issue on the exhaust side... rubbed so bad the titanium retainers looked like they were ready to crack through.. i havent checked them with the new springs yet though so i need to do that next.. did supertech send u a link or a description on how to file down the followers if need be? bc theres virtually nothing to shave on

 

Yes they did. Pm me your email and I will check and see if I saved it and will send it to you.

 

that looks amazing. i wish i could do that

 

greatly appreciated my man

 

Sub'd Looks good man! Been away for a long time.

 

looks really good man. that is the same place where i'm at on my build.

 

The heads back on and torqued down.

Hows it been?

 

What build book are you using for this? This looks so easy in pictures haha

 

It really is that easy lol. Now I had the engine builder spec the crank and stuff for the bearing size so that would have been the hardest part not having those tools. I am using gm si for the torque specs and stuff, except for the arp studs and rod bolts. I am really shocked at how easy it is as long as you follow directions lol.

 

ya its really not hard at all...it was a lot easier than i thought but the build looks good cmiller

 

Thanks. I ordered a new tob for the tranny today. figured that is a little preventitive maintanace.

 

By the way anyone going to do a build, buy the arp piston ring compressor like pictured. The one pictured is the gm one but it make life way easy. It is tappered so it compresses the rings as it goes and then just slips into the cylinder like butter. Way awsome

 

hopefully yours works haha..i installed a brand new tob put my whole car back together to find out it was defective from the factory. So i ripped it all back apart and put a new one in and now its fine.

 

Gotcha. Maybe I'll just rent that compressor off of you if I ever get around to growing some ***** and building an engine

Where did you buy your book?
