Can't get much better powder coat yesterday, New cams today. I can't wait to try these s3 out

Damn, that's a lot of cam lift on a DSM.

^ gonna be sick high lift, high compression, and boost.

Didn't really take any pics, but it was a crazy weekend for me. I specked out andre and jessie's short blocks out, ended up being three blocks in total. Jessie needs and 6 bolt crank, and a rod. andre needs a seven bolt crank, and a rod. The other 6 bolt is good to go for a refresh and kingly main girdle. Also if anyone has info on how to shave the rods to create more side clearance on the crank I wouldn't mind hearing opinions

and some more powder coating, you know just incase they don't move they will still look pretty

[evotuner]

Looks great where are you doing this powdercoating at?

ok i have my trans torn down. I can tell the gear on the fort shaft that connects to the forward gear is toasted as parts or the gear are missing, so that is $185 from jacks. What I don't know is how to inspect the syncros, hubs, forks.. The rest of the gears are all pretty good looking. I was grinding 2nd and 3rd like it was religion on sunday so I know there is a problem

Synchros should have a sharp point on them. If they are rounded over then you should change them.

[dsmghost]

Replace all synchros while in there, they are cheap. Double synchros are a little more I think $67. Also inspect both hub/sliders for wear but I would just replace them too.

Sorry I'm just interested in the process, I'd love to learn how to do it
