Can't please everybody. The visor, nudge bar and roof racks are for ***** and giggles. Easy to remove or put back on and cost me peanuts.

Biggest news is dyno is booked for sat week. Going to testmy e85 carb, race carb with roo16 (same as us q16) and a local race fuel blend a mate uses called ets. If we have time and a carb available maybe methanol

I like all 3, but that Camaro is just epic.

Cheers bud.

Last time for bottom end assembly. Pistons came out nice after shot peening. Had a little drama during the week when we noticed the tiniest movements on the balancer. We magnafluxed the crank but never checked its straightness. Turns out had a tiny bend in the middle with 3-5thou run-out on the nose. We remachined the mains and it's all mint now.

No dyno yet. Decided to change viton valve steam seals as current ones tight on inner valve spring.

So we sorted the fuel pump and vac pump

Did the Mast valve covers have good clearance with the rockers?

Not really had to hog them out right on the rail. One issue with ls3 15deg heads . Going to run a smoke machine through engine and see if they leak, otherwise will get those cheap eBay pro-form Chevrolet ones

is that oil psi correct? where does it sit at idle?

how strong is that ignition system? seems like it could easily skip a tooth on that belt and throw your timing out of whack.
