Happy birthday dude :)

Fuego!

Says you have to make an account, which i did, now when i click on the link, it says: "We're sorry, the page you requested cannot be found."

...'tard.

FINALLY! Yesterday in the mail, a parcel arrived from the UK - only a small jiffy bag, but containing the 1/2" to 3/8" adaptor that i desperately needed! All the nuts on the studs were torqued up in stages (30, 40, 50, 60, 70 lb) and finally 75lb/ft for the final pass. I was thinking about going...

Happy Birthday :)

That's what i was going for ;)

Right - i dropped the cam covers on today, just to get an idea of what this will eventually look like - i must say, it looks pretty good to me!

Hey - thats OEM dirt!

So i thought 'bugger it' and installed the cams - i measured the thickness of all of them before the cams went in and were bolted down, i'll just deal with the two person ball ache when the time comes - i just want to get as much of this back together as much as possible! And of course, with...

Well, today i managed to drum up enough energy to lift the head onto the block - it's not exactly heavy, it's just bulky & awkward when you're on your own. Turns out that if you try to install the ARP studs in the block when the block is in the car, the head will foul against the firewall, so...

Thats correct, i most definitely was NOT doing the driving!!!!

They were just a spare set i had laying around, the set i'm using is still in the head... Here's how everything stands: ARP studs installed (with the lube), new water pipe bolted on and gasketed up - ready for the head to go on! There was ONE snag though - the water pump housing uses two...

Hehe - thanks for the birthday wishes guys - as it turns out, i drank an entire bottle of Russian Standard Vodka all to myself, as if it were water! Best thing though? No hangover, and near total recall of everything i got upto, including a mini-road trip to Rennes, to encounter the local...

Hehe - thanks guys, although, you might want to clarify that that 2nd picture *isn't* me :P

272's are a little excessive for 500rwhp, you could make that with a set of stock cams. 264's would be more than adequate. If you want that sort of horsepower - forged internals are the only way to do it, IMO. Too much stress on stock, cast internals. Get the engine out, have the block bored...

Awesomeness!

It's shit like this that makes me glad i'm incapable of having kids :p

This is a prime example of why you should never permit overly emotional & competitive women play any kind of console game with you: http://sorisomail.com/partilha/22607.html
