Default Eh... back I suppose.

I've had my car on hold for awhile, too busy working, moving into the new house, etc. Moved up to Spokane, WA from So Cal and it's been a great move so far. Some may remember I broke a valvespring and dropped a valve earlier this year, and the heads are finally at the machine shop getting fixed up now. Going in is a lil bigger cam, 5/16" valve stuffs, and finally getting the nitrous up and running. What's new besides a new 9 sec club member?

Welcome back. Did you ever wrap up the investigation on the crappy Lunati everwear oil pump gears? Last I heard you were talking to someone there.

I wasn't ever able to get a definitive answer from anyone there. I think they originally were using the morel gear, and switched to an overseas supplier. Obviously no one will ever own up to that.

Kinda sounds like a POS hack job.

Congrats on getting back in the game

I'm in the same situation.. just moved, too much stuff on my plate and it's winter here now so the car has just been sitting... I didn't drop a valve but I did just finish the 383 build and have a lot of kinks to work out yet.. not to mention swapping headers and bolting up the new exhaust system.
