I picked up my heads yesterday. Wow, Ollie's did a fabulous job. ![]() ![]() ![]() -Hot-Tanked -Valve job (48in x 38ex) -Stainless valves (intake) -New valve seats -Port & Polish -Port-Match for intake manifolds -All chambers matched to 56cc's -Repeaired spark-plug holes Since I was nearby I headed down to Skline's Garage (still trying to get him a 30-minute spot on the Discovery channel). Robert was there preparing to install a new front sway bar. I believe he didn't have the reinforcement flanges from Engman so he'll be installing this friday instead. Elliot also stopped by to pick up Robert's old front spoiler and hung around for a while. Lisa and I made a 1hr lunch-run (where's In 'N Out? ![]() ![]() While at Scott's I bought from him the 2.0L tin that I needed for the heads. Now all I have left for this new engine are some Oil lines to run to the front of the car (going to use my cooler I think, or for another day), Cam & Lifters, and Oil Relief Pistons. Then I save up the $250 or so to take my engine internals to Rimco and have them balanced, counter-weighted, and my flywheel trimmed down to 12 pounds (per Scott's reccommendation). He says at 14lbs there won't be a noticeable difference in the engine's revving up or down, at 11lbs it's fast enough to shear fan bolts, 12lbs is just right. Off to work!
