With valve reliefs! I only say that because my other set of pistons have none. Made some more progress last night as well.

You being a busy bee Tor :top: BTW looking at the head gasket, does the Darton sleeve coolant passage cause any issues with that head gasket?

No, because they are larger than the holes in the head gaskets....

There was a minor hiccup with the machinist. Didn't realize at first that two torque plates were necessary. So another had to be made. Other than that, progress is moving along.

Also nearing completion of my fuel line upgrades. Had to order a few more fittings. In a few days I'll have the FST fuel filter installed, -8AN PTFE lined feed fuel line, and billet fuel rail installed. Which will complement the new FueLab FPR. Then tuned for 8 psi with the ID1300 c.c. injectors on the 10th. WOOT.

The older Large Diaphragm Tomei FPR ended up being stuck in a "rich" position. Luckily I already had the FueLab FPR waiting.

Here's the fuel filter. All fuel compatible and filters down to 5 microns. Woot!

Seems like it's moving along nicely Mark. I am not a fan of the FuelLab FPRs. I prefer Aeromotive.

It is going. Only have one thing to say about the FPR. It works, whereas the other got drunk on fuel and quit. Lol. Best thing is, that all of my parts are here in town. Major plus! Moving at warp speed compared to before. :laugh:

Should have another decent update by this weekend, about the fuel system.

If there was one good thing about the rescheduling of the MSR Houston Charity event, it is that there won't be a rush, if there are hiccups with the new injectors, as well as I have time to swap out my lower ball joints.

With the help of 1GRracer we accomplished this last night. Had to make a trip to the hardware store last night, which impeded my progress on the fuel system upgrade. I was able to get the frame grinded and the filter mounted though. Running the lines and mounting the billet rail will be a breeze.




Still need to go back and paint the exposed area.
