[boostedyards86]

the shape of the ports

Yeah.....they're squared up very nicely!!!

 

[boostedyards86]

Ya.... They were free and I wasn't going to port my heads.

You aint no real HA guy then.

 

[boostedyards86]

harsh harsh lol. No, I have no skill with a porting bit. And I didn't want to completely destroy a set of heads. IF they work well then great if not I have extra heads at the shop.

 

[charlief1]

Well...ok I guess. If you want to send me the spares I can do them for you for a reasonable price.

 

[boostedyards86]

noted for sure

 

[charlief1]

If you were closer I'd let you visit and teach you how to do it. I helped Guess a few weeks ago and he caught on pretty quickly. It's a lot easier than most make it.

 

[boostedyards86]

Coming together nicely I think.

so i finally got around to measuring my turbo its a 56/56... anyone know what this can support? If its not enough I hear gbodyparts is redoing turbos for about $600 in different sizes. What should I do guys, I just dont know if this turbo can go much further than where I took it last year.

 

[boostedyards86]

new ss fuel lines are in...they were a pain. should have everything else bolted up and ready to fire tonight. maybe even get the cam break in done tonight...not sure about that one though.

 

[boostedyards86]

note to self, water pump needs the gasket and rtv it seems.

 

[boostedyards86]

MORE BAD MOJO, driving around breaking in the motor the turbo said later. Covered oil everywhere. No KR at all bottom end still good I believe.

 

[boostedyards86]

Can't seem to win with this car. Keeps begging for more and more money. I suppose i'll let her have more.

A Buick is like a high maintenance woman. Never enough and a divorce just make you want another.
