damn those cylinder heads look like they got alot of cc's in them, how low was your compression ratio with those heads?

i dunno, theyre the stock heads...probably 9.0:1 or something

victory.

PS, i hate the AIR system with a passion...thank god its gone now

Very nice, that's coming along great! I suggest you cover the block up with some heavy-duty plastic trashbags, then clean the strut towers/firewall and paint everything. It's not a lot of work, for a huge improvement in looks under the hood.

eh i just wanna drive the car....no time for painting :lol:

its so nice out, i wanna enjoy it for the summer

lookin good, when you call it quits for the day, I suggest spraying inside the cylinders with WD40 to protect them against any form of precipitation/condensation, unless of course you're going balls to the wall and throwing the new heads on tonight :lol:

hmm good call ted...i cant put the heads on til my studs get here tuesday

Then you have time to clean and spraybomb between now and then! :lol:

lol i have to spend all day tomorrow scraping off the old head gaskets, then monday i have work...hmmm i should take tuesday off

DOOO EEEEEEEEET. I might play hookey on Tuesday to do my brakes/shocks on the Jeep, and new fenderwells on the Monte. Gotta see how many sick days I have left for the year first. :)

all day scraping off head gaskets, what are you using, your thumbnail? :lol: pick up one of those plastic scrapers that you put a razor blade in for scraping paint off glass...save you a lot of time

even easier...get a 90* die grinder with a roloc adapter and buzz all that crap off in 2 minutes 8)

hes a smart man here! You dunno how much i had to scrape when I resealed the L98 in the 86TA last month. .... :evil:

And if you don't have air, you can get the one that goes in the end of a drill. I used my drill/roloc wheel to clean the gasket crap off the intake manifold, and it went quick. If you do it with the roloc, just make sure you have a GOOD ShopVac to suck all the dust outta the piston holes.

we've got roloc discs at my work, so maybe ill wait til monday or tuesday to get the gaskets off

both heads are on...torque wrench is broken so i have to get another one and torque them down still.

shiny stuff makes me happy

blueeee!!! nice matt!

aw man, dude those rocker arms are FTW man, nice color and pick.

yeah actaully those rocker arms suck....torquing them down, a bunch of the pedestals broke in half

I was going to say I prefer Crane over Proform

Pro Mags, only way to go.
Chromemolly > Aluminum.

i ordered ford motorsport pedestals and crane shims...and apparently i was doing it wrong anyway so....yeah

You got aluminum pedestals? FTL on that one, oh well.......at least they look nice....until you putthe valve cover back on :lol:

k so i took a week off from the car, now im back at it. lower intake is on, fuel rails are bolted back down, electrical connections are made...rockers still need to go on, then valve covers, then upper intake...and then i pray that it runs.
