I was only kidding Miguel. When David was here he tried to show me what the car was doing. Of course, the car was running perfect making a liar out of him. So I was teasing him saying there was never anything wrong, but I'm sure there was/is. It just wasn't doing the bad thing while it was here.
Damn you Rufus!! hahaha
I think the idle problem is from a boost leak or vacuum line. Im looking at it today right after i wash it.
The cop problem was partial because the wires i soldered and heat shrink were somehow still making contact with each other but i still haven't got the cop to work. Im running the old coil packs for now.
The big brake kit im waiting to kill a little more of my old good pads. I would feel like im throwing away money
MIKE: that looks like fun and the exhaust side of the motor is clean!

Well i had noticed a bit of vibration on the ride back from the trip under heavy braking and didn't think too much of it. Now that I've taken the time to check it out, i have come to find that both front rotors are warped/cracked. The outer disc seems to be splitting into two pieces. I've never seen rotors damaged like this before, i may have to get that big brake kit a bit sooner than i had intended.
Here's a video with the sorted pics from Vegas (chronological order). It starts off with the Scenic Cruise, Dyno event, and lastly the Show and Shine/Drag event. I have many videos from the drag racing event i just need to sort those out and get them uploaded. The final video will have pics and video implemented with each other with some background music :icon_bigg
Enjoy....

Hey guys, anybody have a spare 89+ motor mount for sale? I ripped mine in half while removing my engine. Like a dummy I didn't unbolt them from the mount brackets this time around.
Anyway, I found out why number 2 cylinder was dead. As suspected, busted ringlands... again. Went to Millers machine and they told me that stock cast pistons will not withstand the cylinder pressure I'm pushing through the motor. They recommend forged pistons. Ugh, I told myself that if I stuck with the 7m this would be the last time with this motor. I was going to do the generation III SBC this time around, but it's not a good time financially right now. Decisions, decisions.

Yeah, they round ones. BTW Mike, I'd like to borrow your valve remove/install tool please. I think I might disassemble the head and give it a good cleaning. Intake runners are pretty clean, exhaust runners have lots of carbon soot from running too rich.
