yea I will do a baseline check on all my valves before I put the head on this time, should have done that before. Whats amazing to me is that all my valve lash measurements were out of spec loose before I had it done, and he took off so much that some are now unable to be adjusted out... I...

you were quite right

Really, I figured it would be completely stuck to the head and block surfaces after torqueing. Ill take it off and see.

nope, the engine is still on the stand. I just meant, now I have to clean off all the viton or whatever is on there and run without it.

Thats what I figured. It was a brand new HKS gasket too.

I am finally getting around to putting my engine back together and I ran into a snag here. I just got the head back from the machine shop where they resurfaced it and did a valve re-grind. I clamped it down to the block and installed the cams to measure my clearances. I found that several...

Thanks so much for all the input, I knew I could count on you guys to steer me in the right direction. :) I really dont know why but I have never been an AMD guy. And I really have no reason to not like them, I have just always chosen Intel. Maybe its time to give them a try. I have...

Thanks so much for your guys opinions and advise. I priced all that stuff through tigerdirect.com, but I was going to go back and see if newegg had any of it cheaper. I'll see if I can stretch it to include an Asus DDR3 motherboard a better case/PSU.

Wow, Im suprised that im not too far off... Thanks for the info on the Gigabyte Grim, I will stay away from them. And yea I forgot to include the HDD, I was planning on a 500GB SATA by western digital. I think it was only 50 dollars or so. Thanks for the info! Ryan

I have about $650 dollars to spend, and I am trying to build the most powerful computer that I can for the money. It will be a home computer used for some light video editing, and powerful multitasking. Here is what I am looking at, tell me what you would change. Oh, and that money includes a...

Wow. I started to type a reply but I cant find the words... Yep, you are right, it must be the alternator.

You need to do a voltage drop test, next time the failure occurs. I know you said you have good battery connections and cables, but it really sounds like you have a bad connection at the battery. You can have a connection that is good enough to provide a low amount of current, but then turns...

Had a baby girl. Made approx $10 grand less this year than last:nono:

My Christmas present to myself. Had to wait a month for it!

Mine did that exact same thing. No pump failure or driveshaft problems, just replaced the pulley and was good to go.

Thats how all of the probes are made. I remember reading that they did not have the exact size cutter for the valve reliefs so they went with the next size up... The edges are quite thin at the tips. But I think the rest of the piston should act as a heat sink and pull heat away from those...

Nevermind, Im sorry I just saw it was non turbo. What he said^
