Was going to spend the next 3 days installing heads and cam till I found a fuel leak on my new car. Seems field mice have been busy eating fuel lines and the cost... 1100 bucks-.-

Got the heads off and been cleans all sorts of holes lol. Surprising there is very little wear on rocker and rollers. All have there needle bearing in them also.
Looks like tomorrow I'll get to replacing the cam and seeing how the wear is on it.
Triple checking these head bolt holes cause if I break a block I'd cry lol.

got the cam in the crank pulley on and the head torqued down to 22ft/lb. Put 2 rockers on and no coil bind and no bind at all. So far looking good. Break time then im torqueing the heads down all the way.
Good thing I rechecked the holes for the head cause while I was beat and banging on the pulley some coolant must have dripped in a hole cause it was wet when I checked right before I went to put the head on.

No leaks sounds healthy just needs more tuning.

Got the idle much better now and she screams from like 3500 rpms up. Think I need more timing down below that to get that better. Off accel is way rich need to figure that out. At 10.6 or so on the wideband. Getting there little by little

Well was pose to get the car tuned Monday. Went to start the car and it hydrolocked. Turned out to be a injector stuck open. Called up brute speed and they sent one out overnight to me.
Luckily it didn't bend a rod as far as I can tell so lucked out. Trying for tomorrow getting it tuned now
