Cool! Guessing your brother did the valve cover? Looks AWESOME!!
Yep, I wanted something that was simple and black/white. Didn't want something too overpowering with lots of color since my bay and everything underneath is just clean black.
Always something... So what head gasket are you going with this time?
I went with the OG 84mm Golden Eagle/Honda Head Gasket, a few shops still have stock of these. The head gasket fit perfect on the motor without any issues so I am hoping it holds up, my last motor ran 5 years without an issue using those headgaskets, I also am using L19's this time.
Got a few things done, ran into a few issues with the two nitrous lines. Because I built all these off the motor two of the lines were hitting the water tube so I had to remake two of the lines. I also got the nitrous lines partially wired up now so I don't have to do it while the motor is in. I then realized after I got the motor in that the fuel pressure regulator was literally sitting on the nitrous solenoid and wiring so I had to relocate that to another area of the bay, everything is a tight freaking squeeze in there.
Now I have to finish making the radiator lines, nitrous fuel lines, and a ton of other stuff but at least I am making some progress.
What's the next event you are trying to make it to?
Right now my main focus is getting the car running and then tuned, once I get to that point I really need to get it out for some testing before I think of any events. I'm not even sure what events even exist anymore since Covid, seems like the only thing going on was track rentals but now I guess Friday night drags are back and going again.
I've heard rumors that they are going to shut down Wild Horse Pass for good leaving us only Tucson.
