I'm very scared for your shortblock dude.

Meh, it'll be fine, it's a champ! anyway, I'm not trying for rediculous numbers, and no one has ever really even pushed a mostly stock block.

lol, thank FSM for simple fixes. The feed line for the turbo has an adaptor and that wasn't tightened down enough. And I figured I'd just let'er buck with the thermostat and all was well, no problems, got up to temp and stayed there. adjusted the idle a little bit, it'll hang around 800-850. Baller. got all the vac lines hooked up and took it for a spin, went and got gas, half a tank for 20 bucks, haha. it's a fun-ass car.

Instead of having a bolt go through the valve cover like it used to, I took advantage of the head being off the car and drilled and tapped a new hole in the back of the head. It goes through to the water passage, but I'm not worried, I sealed it up nice. The bolt is more of a precaution since the CAS is a tight fit anyway. Better safe than sorry, I guess.

Cool, what's the status of the bottom end?

Just waiting for the rotating assembly to be balanced, then I get it back. Maybe friday.

Then I just have to buy gaskets, and be sure to put it all back together correctly.

Here we go! 8:1 forged wisecos, shotpeened rods, block was bored with a torqueplate, crank polished and rebalanced. I'm going to start assembly later this week and take my time and do everything right.
