My progress

[JET]

Well, I am pretty pumped! I am going to bust my ass and see if I can get my car ready for the dyno event. My head is totally stripped down and the engine came out tonight! I will be stripping the engine down tomorrow and taking everything down to Mike.

The block just needs to be honed and I will reassemble it. The head needs to be welded up, decked, 2 holes helicoiled, and I am going to do even more porting on it :eek: Hopefully I can do the porting tomorrow during work! So Mike, I should be down there around 7 tomorrow!

So why does the head need to be welded? and helicoiled? Sounds like you should just get a different head?

He would get a different head but the head the got fucked up already has a lot of hours of porting done on it already. I would guess in the neighborhood of 20 hours worth so that would be a lot of wasted time. Thats why he is re-using the old head. Trust me we have a few heads lying around if he wanted to just slap a used one on for the time being but if he can get his ported one that is already built with 1mm oversized valves blah blah then thats a better route to go in my book as well.

Glad you are getting it running again JET, I will be home this weekend to help you if you get the parts back. Well back to work.

Yeah, this head isn't really that bad. Just 2 grooves melted out the back side :D They aren't very big, so it should be a problem. There are 2 cam cap bolt holes that need to be helicoiled. Yeah, this head is set up for 1mm oversized valves and has about 16 hours of porting into it. It also only has 450 miles on it!

sweet! don't forget the pics when you're putting it back together! I want to see a before and after on that head!

Damn DSM's always have to be difficult! I have 4 main studs stuck in the block, so I can't get the last 2 caps off to pull the crank. Grrrrrr!!!

Get the 'ol torch out and heat 'em up :-)

Mike is going to use the stud puller he has on them. The head and block are down there now and hopefully they will be on the way to the machine shop yet this morning! I got home at 2am after dropping them off and was up at 6am to get up for work. I need sleep! Thanks Mike for the help!!

What kind of power do you hope or anticipate it making on the dyno?
