Hows this for before/after

angryhillbilly

haha very nice. looks great now. so your build is done? or u just tossed the head to for a picture?

TheHolidayCrew

No its not done.. just throwing up how pretty it is compared to when I first got it all.. right now I'm waiting on a friend with a valve spring tool so I can get the new valves/springs/retainers in!

angryhillbilly

have you decided what parts your going to go with? rods, pistons, cams and such?

TheHolidayCrew

Well I got buddyclub adjustable cam gears, skunk2 pro series intake mani, skunk2 68mm throttlebody, il4 81.5mm pr3 slugs, eagle rods, then il4 valve springs/retainers/and valves.

Ill ditch the eagle rods for some shot peened ls rods.
And cams, probs skunk2 pro2's or someone suggested I take a look at rocket cams..

TheHolidayCrew

Well I ditched the 81.5 pr3's I bought for some 81.5 cp's 11:1. And I also picked up some skunk2 pro2's. Still gotta figure out bearing size and then a few other small things and it's go time!

TheHolidayCrew

Also bought a valve spring tool and I swapped out the old crap for the supertech valves and il4 springs and titanium retainers =]

TheHolidayCrew

As it sits right now.. just waiting on a few new pieces. New bolts n random things.

TheHolidayCrew

Up to speed here..



Lil bit of a reloom, clean up the look a little bit..

angryhillbilly

lookin good. Lemme see some numbers!

TheHolidayCrew

Almost there man! Just need to properly degree the cams, redo the lash, then it'll be off for a tune!

I did get a new basemap tho! The chip rywire sent me, the map they gave me from my specs, was just dumping waaaaay too much fuel. So I ordered a new basemap from Xenocron. Tossed theirs in, BIG improvement in the way it runs.

No joke, the fuel consumption on the first chip.. I had a half tank before I installed the motor. After about 2 hours accumulative run time, it was on E!

clean and looks great man...u already degree your cams?

Leoda9

Just curious what did you use to clean your block bro?

TheHolidayCrew

No the cams aren't degrees yet, but they're not zeroed out either.

As for cleaning the block, I used the gunk engine degreaser, the foam and the gel. Let that **** sit, then went at it with a wire brush. Used a file on some spots where there were bumps and random pieces or metal hangin off lol. Last was the paint

angryhillbilly

if your gona have the cams degreed, why put the motor in the car? dont u need to take the motor out to degree anyway?
