Over revving issue

[Halon]

And please, can we stop with the "why didn't you's", the "why are you's" and the "if i were you i would have's".

I have my reasons for doing things the way I'm doing them. Just gets to be a bit annoying when everyone just starts 2nd guessing you on everything. Did I some how evolve backwards and gain noob status again?

Got ahold of my uncle, and the head is done, so I picked her up and it's home now :) Said everything on the head checked to be pretty good. The finish on the bottom of it wasn't all that nice so he decked the bottom of it. Has a real nice n clean finish on the bottom now. I'm pretty excited, it's getting to be time to start putting it all back together now!

Noob. If I were you, I would have definitely not missed the gear, broke the axle, nor would I have blown the HG. Just silly imho. Why don't you go AEM w/NOS for moar power instead of silly E85, omg your MPG must suck sooooooooo bad!





;) See if you can get it back together before mine comes apart/goes back together! 2 weeks I think. We need some mid summer test & compare action mesathinkin!

Who did your head last time?

I wasnt second guessing you brandon, but while its all apart, why not replace the rings and freshen it up...

[Halon]

That wasn't directed at you so much.

But either way, I'm not going to replace rings on a motor with what I consider good compression. My numbers have always seemed a little lower than what others show. I have a feeling my tester just reads a little low.

Last time the head was done up in Andover at a place called Northern Cylinder Head. Real nice guy, he's done a lot of little side things for me, and did a bit of work on my roommates rotary. Always had great results with them, but this one job I wasn't too impressed.

I like the finish that my uncle put on it now though, a lot nicer. Plus I got the nephew discount ;)

Ahhh ok cool! haha just clarifying. <3

Finished scraping off the top of the block with a razor. Nice and clean again!

Got the rods/pistons back in. Big thanks to Old Man Hill for letting me borrow his piston ring compressor tool, it worked perfectly. Torqued the rod bolts to 45lb/ft w/ ARP Moly Lube. Retorqued them 5 times because that's what I read to do on another forum.

Scraped the RTV gasket off the bottom of the block. Got a majority of it scraped off the oil pan.

Got the new L19's screwed into the block, and slid the new head gasket on over them.

Decided that's enough for one night. Tomorrow I plan on finishing cleaning all the gasket off the oil pan, then reinstalling it. Then start to bolt the manifolds back on the head. And then get the head set back down on top of the block.
