That lower bolt hole in the pic sits right over the cam and rockers. I shined the light in every corner of that head.

I did and probed everywhere on that head. There’s an oil drainage hole near there that looks as if it could accommodate that size bolt, so that bolt could be in the oil pan.

Cleaning up my valve covers and waiting on my sleeving and heat shrink tubing to come in. I’ve got a media blaster that I need to hook up in order to get the valve covers cleant properly correct, and I’m thinking about getting a powder coating setup. The guns are pretty cheap, and a whole oven/gun/paint sample set is around $250.



Wires everywhere!




They’re getting there.

Well, guys, it’s kind of a sad day... Some land has come up for sale right across from where I’m building my house, and I feel like I need to buy it before some out of state riffraff gets it for a hunting camp and my kids possibly get exposed to God knows what. So, that puts a big setback to my turbo plans.

My condolences that youre so rich that you decided to buy another house instead of a turbo kit. It must be a terrible life that you live

Thank you for your kind words; I’m glad that you are so compassionate and understanding of my difficulties. Oh woeful day!

Lol joking aside, I’m not buying a house, but some clear cut land.

Life man, it gets in the way of toys! As long as you don't have to sell the project, just tuck it away for later.

It’ll probably be another year+ before that can be a possibility again. Oh, well! Maybe I’ll have a rich relative that I never knew pass and leave me a huge fortune. Lol

You’re right. Time to stop the excuses. I haven’t come all this way for nothing. Time to sell the GSR.
