Ill post pics of the pass heads tomm..Its very lean
it looks like the nitrous just cleaned the carbon deposits off the pistons, but its hard to tell with the photo quality.

the cam went in pretty smooth..just keep turning it...

ran into problem..trying to put on the balancer with the ols bolt

it dosent seem to catch the threads..but when i use my 1' longer crank bolt..i get it.

so could i force the balancer on the crank more so the old bolt can catch the threads?

You can put it on by hand at put a block of wood at the front and tap it on a bit, then use your old bolt to out it on.

sorry guys i had a delay..it seems i got the wrong head bolts from APR..I got the gen 4 head bolts and not Gen3.. so any way now its starting to look like a car and not a pile of crap..

so if anyone needs a gen 4 head bolt set..get mines for $60 instead of $105..never torqued down just greased up

now for some new pics

Ok ran into a problem..Since the person that did my exhaust welded the collector to the pipe..Its very hard to get the headers on..AND I had to break the hangar loose to remove the heads and push the header out of the way

Any ideas on how to bolt the header on..The pass side didnt break loose so it bolted back up..The driver side is the problem..Since the whole pipe is laying on the floor???
