Productive saturday afternoon!
Got my head back from the shop this past week so today i put it all together. I said a few swears while using the stupid valve spring comressor lol. I put my stock cams in because i prolly wont receive my Kelford cams till next month and im ready to start the car up this week. Also had my buddy fab up this little block off plate for my intake manifold. Gonna grab a head gasket this week and start buttoning everything up!

I had Accurate Machine in middletown machine my head. A&M Machine on behind Carquest on East Main St machined my block. I didnt let either of them assemble anything, i dont trust anyone but myself. lol. I did not get in on the BEGI group buy, i still want to see dyno numbers with that thing. Im not convinced its worth it.

So after carefully hand building my entire engine for the past 3 months, i went to start it and it wouldnt turn over. lol This was due partially to my working 11 hrs then coming home and putting in another 3 hrs until 9pm. I was so tired i infact that i bolted the cas 180 degrees in the wrong direction. I fixed this issue after looking at the engine for 2 min today lol. What a difference not being dead tired makes lol. Turned the stupid cas 180 degrees to its normal position and the car fired up like a never even took the motor out! Good oil pressure, no leaks, no bad smells. Im very please, turbo blanket, dp wrap and beefy wires are on the way.....
