Just got a call from Joe that my tin was done at the powder coater.
Finished paying Mark this AM for his EFI kit.
Good thing I get paid Friday!

Now all I need is the call saying my heads are done.
Right now I think that call could wait two weeks before that lump of cash falls out of my hands.

I cant wait to pick up your tin (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I advise you to stop by Warrior each and every day, till the heads are done.
(Good Luck)

Got my heads today. Woot!
I need to CC them in case the CC value changed.

What's left? A lot. But getting closer.
Need to buy some more stuff.
Exhaust seals. CV gaskets. CV washers etc.
CC the heads and put them on the block.
Check pushrod geo to see if I need to cut new ones.
Pressure test my SSI exchangers to see if it is safe to hook heat back up.
Get the EFI stuff from Mark and install what needs to be installed before the doghouse and tins go back together.
Put the power train back together.
Get it in the car.
Oil
Gas
Drive
Tune

Everyone but Erin at home right now is sick. I still need to get the stuff to CC the heads.
Did some work on the lathe, but that's about all I had the energy to do.

I should have the stuff I need to CC the heads Monday.
Got assorted small parts needed when you put an engine back in sourced.

Only stuff left to buy is ethanol proof fuel line, a few more FI hose clamps, pressure regulator, and a new VDO oil pressure sender. And new cut-to-length pushrods if my geometry changed. Which I will find out when I put the old ones back into place and check my geometry.

What is the pressure regulator that people like? Mark, am I going to be pushing somewhere between 28 and 30 psi fuel? Or More? Or less?

I don't think I have a stock regulator.

Off to the For Sale section!

CCed my heads today. Came out to between 60 and 61cc per head.
This will lower my compression ratio from 9.2:1 to 8.6:1. A little higher then stock but not much. Wonder if I will be able to get away with 87 gas now instead of the 93 I had been using. Before headwork they were at 56cc. I could have them fly cut a hair, but I think the slightly lower compression might be good for me.

My deck is at .040 and I don't want to go tighter then that.

With a deck at 40, you should be fine with 87.

back heads both say 56, which was incorrect... There was a 4CC bubble. I remeasured and they came out at 60 and no bubble.

The plate I cut out of a sheet of 1/4 inch acetate.

A quick update.

Yesterday I picked up a used, but in excellent shape, Triad muffler from one of our local members.

I have made 2/3rds of the payment to McMark for his excellent Microsquirt driven EFI and electronic spark. Will be paid off by the end of the month.

I stopped by my machinist today and he promised my heads would be done next week. Of course, its easy to say "next week."

I gave my engine tin to Joe to take to his powder coater in Baltimore. They did a great job on his stuff.

This is really starting to move together. I'm getting excited.


Does he use Chesapeake Coatings? Those guys are incredible. They have like four ovens the size of two car garages for big military contracts. Cool place to visit.

Got a small box from Mark today!!!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm9.staticflickr.com-1435-1355192690.1.jpg)

Its not everything, but it will get me back working this Friday after I get the kids to bed. I'm now one sensor away from being able to get the engine back in tins!

Let me just say that this trigger wheel is a really WELL made part. I expected goodness, and my expectations were exceeded. Looking forward on getting it bolted on to the crank!

I got more stuff today!!!
Original Customs 100% eFI kit. Let McMark take the engineering out of your eFI project.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm9.staticflickr.com-1435-1362710932.1.jpg)

New fuel injectors? Coil on Plug? Hell yeah!
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm9.staticflickr.com-1435-1362710933.2.jpg)

Prebuilt wire harness? Yup.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm9.staticflickr.com-1435-1362710933.3.jpg)

O2 sensor included? You better believe it.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm9.staticflickr.com-1435-1362710933.4.jpg)

Weathertight Microsquirt controller? Included. Can you say mounted in the engine compartment with no worries? Yes you can.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm9.staticflickr.com-1435-1362710934.5.jpg)

There are a couple things that I am missing yet, but I can start taking chuncks out of this job for real now.
