This is what to much pressure and no intercooler looks like . Lol Kris warned me . I played and rolled the dice. Needless to say it's getting meth .

All the bearings look great and seem to have normal wear no heavy grooves . Crank looks great . Except the thurst bearing . But that's to be expected with a blower car with a stick . Cyl has a light score mark that I can barely get my finger in . So I'm thinking with a light puff it will be fine .

Obviously the blinker fluid ran low and the flux capacitor overheated causing a mass expansion of all the gigawatts.

Beginning of October the day I drove my friends car at the rental.

I'm thinking bad fuel still . I pulled out of the gas station and rolled into it slightly and that's when I heard it.

Sucks but that's the reality of pushing it I guess

So you're going to run meth with no IC stiil, right? I've been considering this as the IC piping and stuff is just bulky and unsightly.

Weld up the spot have it milled back down.

The heads needs seals and stuff too . I planned on maybe selling them and getting 205s but the current situation puts them at not being worth much the way they sit . Waiting on email back from fox lake. They can get them to flow almost as much as the 205s do with their cnc program .

And it will take care of the valve guides and seals as well .

Waiting on a call back for a round about price on refreshing the short block as well .

What heads do you have? I thought you were already running 205s.
