What did you use to polish all those parts?

 

Jackson polishing soap and a Jackson cloth wheel mounted on a 5" grinder. Also used a tiny cloth wheel in my dremel for the small detail areas.

 

going to be wicked....

Watching your build makes me want to go ahead and finish building my engine. Hell even if I leave the heads un-ported for now and just slapped in the short block and cams. Up the boost of course.

 

Do it!!! You can port the heads later. Or just not worry about it. Then you won't have to worry about weak spots. I'm coming aftet your 12.5 or 12.4 can't remember what your best was

 

It would already be done if I wasn't looking for a house.

I'm having the damnedest time finding what I want in the price range I'm willing to spend. I was going to put an offer on a house today, but someone beat me to the punch yesterday evening...

Was really looking forward buying a house with an attached 7 car garage with an apartment upstairs, and the 30x50 metal building outback.

 

Wel *****!! I started the truck this evening and she ran beautifully till I spotted the injector on cylinder 8 pouring fuel out. I swapped it out with the injector from cylinder 5 and it slowed the leak considerably. Intrestingly the number 8 injector did not leak when placed on cylinder 5. Guessing I should have replaced O-rings??? Any thoughts? Why would just that one cylinder leak?

 

Is it leaking at the fuel rail or the the intake? Have a piece of trash stuck in the fuel rail for #8?

Its at the rail. Fuel was gushing down the injector from where the injector slides in the rail When I traded it out with the one from cylinder 5 it slowed to hardly anything.

 

You might used a little white grease on the o-rings. If that doesn't fix it, new o-rings might be in order. If you still have your old injectors, you might just take an o-ring off one to fix it in the interim, if only one is leaking.

 

what is the name of the paint you used? I got some bare metal I was wanting to cover up as well.

 

Fuel injector leak resolved at the 11th hour!! Troyer performance bound @ 4a.m. It was an alighnment issue with the rail.

Batn68 I'll make a list of paints and process as soon as I can.

 

Good luck tomorrow.
