I'll give you a heads-up when I'm going in for the tune/dyno session. Van

Thanks. The engine builder and I can hardly wait to do a test and tune at the track in March. M&B have competitive rates, they stand behind their work and have a great rep in the community. They continue to build engines with Horsepower Freaks and PSI customers as well. So now it's off to get...

Thank you! I'll be working on the install this weekend... I plan to upload more pics too. Van

Redmaro, I too had a little surge on low boost, on cooler days, until I moved the SSQV over the turbo, in the stock location. Now the issue only appears on cold mornings before the turbo heats the SSQV. Van

The engine is being built for enduro racing (6, and 12 hour) http://picasaweb.google.com/raceready7m/RaceReady7M?feat=directlink and has had moderate upgrades, not the best in the business, as this engine will not see more that 7500 RPMs and HP will be limited to 300 WHP, by virtue of the 50...

As promised... more pics of the 7M enduro build. http://picasaweb.google.com/raceready7m/RaceReady7M?feat=directlink These are of the completed long block w/manifolds. The intake manifold is on for this series of pics; it will be undergiong further modification to the interior to improve flow...

I've never seen this beast in person, I was told who the main rivals in ITE class drive. Have you any pics? Van

With regard to the ATI damper: the hubs we're the same weight so I just reassembled the damper w/red loc tight, and put it on the crank last week. I also dressed the long block with all the manifolds, but ran into difficulty getting the turbo oil return pipe fitted. The stock bolts on the...

I went ahead and had the baffles removed, and they had a lot of carbonized oil on them. Glad I listened and followed your suggestion! Van

Hi, The 7M I'm having built just finished having the rotating assembly balanced: pistons, rods, wrist pins, rod bearings, all zero balanced, then the crank spin balanced to 750 RPMs, with crank bolt, damper, flywheel and pressure plate. I'm building an enduro engine, and it is important to me...

ATI hub arrived Monday 30th of November. The delay was ATI and Brian of M&B needing to do some problem solving over the phone, so ATI could discover the cause for this mess.:3d_frown: Now the build resumes in ernest. I will be taking more pics. Van

Flat rate: $55 USD/Hr at M&B Cylinder Heads :burnout:Portland Oregon. Van

Russ Meeks of Finishline Coatings, who did the thermal dispersant coating, used paint removal gel and a heat gun to get the stock finish off, to get the surface he needed, for the coating. Van

Another question came up from the engine builder: Am I going to remove the valve cover baffels, to clean the crud from 205,000 miles of synthetic oil use? I already had the covers in a solvent tank, washed in a washing machine and pressure washed. Then thermal coated and put in an oven at 400...

I'm classed in ITE, a run what you bring, catch-all, SCCA regional class, and up here, forced induction is free. Downside, I'm running against ZO6's, Vipers, Turbo Porches, and last years points winner an S2000, that is said to make aprox 400 WHP. There is also an EVO IX that weighs around 2800...

Thanks! I see in the TSRM, that I need to apply the sealant to three or four threads on the 10mm bolts, for the water pump. Van

Thanks, Ian. Yep! To think I tried not to do that; get your last name mixed up in the brand name. Did it anyway...:nono: Van

On page two, I added pics of the Ishi-Johnson crank scraper, during test fittings. Van
