does any one else wonder if these parts makers ever test there own product or even know what the hell it goes on?
like the guy from VA speed said there is always soo much machine work and "fixing" to get this **** to work right some times i wonder if these people who build these parts know what the hell they are doing.... /rant

if anybody thinks you can just bolt parts together on an engine of this caliber,they are sadly mistaken.There isn't on part on Phil's motor that i havent modified or massaged.I got well over 150 hrs of labor in this engine to get it where it is-the jesel setup is no different than any other part.
So basically people really need to consider alot of the design factors when condeming something-it's easy to criticize,but hard to design something better

Don't read to much into my post Shawn, as I am not criticizing at all. I think it is a great build thread on a motor that is gonna make a **** load of power. Remember, I am one of the guys that was hoping Phil stuck with the LS stuff in hopes that you guys could make it live with that much power.

Who ever said that they thought you could just bolt stuff on this motor? It wasn't me and I know how much work goes into a build like this. I never condemed Jesel, and if you read my original post, I even said I know they make a good product, and I stand by that. I just know that I have read that a few people here on the site have had problems with the Jesel stuff, and as I pointed out in my above post, one of them I know the specifics, as he is a "friend" of mine.

alot of people are quick to condemn a part,when actually it was used for a purpose for which it wasnt intended,or with the wrong combination of other parts.
i have no problems with your statements-now lets get back to it

if it don't fit-make it.Due to some deck height differences in the mock up engine for the intake,and the actual engine,the intake would have sit too high using intake gaskets making the ports not line up.So i just machined oring grooves around the intake ports solving the problem.With that done i can pretty much finish this thing up,just need to bolt down the valley cover and install the cam postion sensor.
Other than the head gaskets,there are no gaskets in this entire engine,everything else is oringed,making mantainance much,much easier and cheaper.
pretty much done
