Yeah ill take a hammer to it and see if it splits open anywhere :sarcasm:

PM jmdigital... he could probably do it for you.

Crower rods. They were fully balanced by the orlando machine shop. They were also installed backwards on the pistons lol. They will be reconditioned (if needed) and rebalanced and obviously flipped around to be on the proper side.

Yeah I think we are going to go ahead and find another crank as well. And loosen up the tolerances a bit as the machine shop made the clearances a little too tight for the power we want last time. Again our fault as we gave them a "guideline" rather then a set number. It was still in spec but...

I agree. Although Im not sure if he has ever decided if he wanted a 6M or a 7M crank. The last two that have been used are 6M. I dont know which one I think he would be better with. I guess since it will all be getting balanced the lighter more rev happy 6M is the better choice. Bill I also...

THIS... I can agree with. Hopefully we can find Bill a newer block and crank so we can get this GOOD machine shop to do all the work and get this thing together and running right! For the record the previous engine pulled pretty damn nicely at only about 10psi...felt really strong. Just had...

*Sigh*... I was going to post a long response...but its just not worth it. Tell your little birdie I said hi.

Hes down in BFE in wesley chapel. SR 54

On a serious note anytime you want to head over to sunny FL and hang with the supra guys Bill does have a spare bedroom :D Youll just have to fight his fatass Bulldog for it. :biglaugh:

I dont drink...but Bill does... (more since he got the supra....go figure ;) ) But if you come too Ill get beer! :D Party at Bills EVERYONE from SM is invited!

If you come I will personally cook you a steak ;) One of these days we will have to take up a fund to get your old ass over here.... do we need to get an extra seat on the plane for your oxygen tank? :sarcasm:

Hmmmm to be 100% honest that being like 2+ years ago (sheesh) I dont even remember shit about the non forged engine.

Youre more then welcome to come over whenever we do it up again. (yes i just invited you to BILLS house hahaha). He already has a ton of random ass neighbors that stop by and bother the hell out of us as it is. ;)

Theres been only 2 machine shops... Orlando: Backwards rods, overbore, deck surfacing not good, crank plugs not done. Engine Labs: Everything has been good. Never heard of a place giving us wrong bearings? Needless to say the Orlando shop didnt help anything.... New block/crank and have...

thats gotta be just a strange coincidence.

Im pretty sure I remember someone posting something where they HAD taken it off... just dont know if they were able to put it back on ;)

I dont know about having the teeth painted on the gears... belts normally dont like that.

Well I know at some point he would be looking for a block. So Ill point him in your direction. Although do you have any KNOWN GOOD RUNNING bottom ends lying around? No knocking etc lol... He might be looking to throw something in the car for the time being. Well lets see... you were telling...

He already knows what BHG is like :biglaugh::sarcasm:

Nice...picked up brads car. Good to see it go to a good home. It cleaned up pretty nicely.
