I forgot to update... Engine bay is most of the way in primer now...my sandblaster broke down on me so I primed what i had done, seatscolumn and pedals are out now and I'm going to be making a cover for the hole in the firewall. Next on my to do list is remove the carpet and put in new.
Honestly, it's probably a good thing I'm not married with as many projects as I've brought indoors, or I'd sure be using my ride as a place to sleep (I did manage to put a "smile" on my ex's face by cleaning up a turbo in her living room).... lol

Heads are done! Going either tomorrow or Monday to pick them up. So I can resume progress and my throttle body has been shipped and on its way as well. Vroom Vroom

I noticed yesterday that 4 of the intake valves were ****, rusted and pitted but luckily I had 4 brand new ones to drop right in. I'm confused as hell trying to do the ptv check and the pushrod length check without ruining my new head gasket. But here is my idea.
I work as a small engine mechanic on stihl equipment. The 3/8 pico chain uses .050 thick connector links put those under the head and LIGHTLY bolt the heads down and check my ptv clearance with my sons playdough using a shimmed lifter and no valve spring to keep the pressure minimal on the heads so I don't end up with indents from the links. Will it work?
