Alrighty we are back in business baby Filed down my new rings to EXACTLY .020” top and .024” bottom (was going to go .023” but i over-filed the first one I did. Figured if JohnnyT used .024 it’ll be fine for me too since we have similar power goals). Took 4-5 hours but it was very...

Was able to get the pistons & rods back out today, now we play the waiting game… If you’re like me and got stumped on how to get the rod caps off (since the Manleys have those dowels that the bolts thread through, way too tight to pull off just by hand) keep the rod bolts loosely threaded in...

Awesome thanks for the reassurance lol

Update: So when I first dropped the block off at the shop I asked them to file my rings to .020” top & .023” bottom, but not install them onto the pistons so I could check and verify myself. Well, instead of grinding to what I told them, they went off Manley’s specs (.027” plus) When I first...

Did you end up refiling your rings yourself or did you decide to go with the ones the shop originally filed?

I was able to knock out a good bit of stuff over the long weekend (hopefully I didn't fuck anything up too bad...) Initial check of valve lash: After having the valves lapped and supertech 70lb dual springs installed I figured most of them were gonna be out of spec, which they were. All exhaust...

Hell yeah dude!! Your attention to detail & discipline literally blows my mind lol - keep chugging!

Alrighty boys and girls it's been a MINUTE since my last post but we're back! Since the last post I was able to drop off my block/head and associated thingamabobs at the machine shop: They cleaned everything, decked the head/block, bored out to 88mm, lapped the valves, installed valve springs...

Not a major update but progress is definitely being made! Got all accessories off the block with really only one snag: those damn T40 torx bolts holding the injectors into the block, specifically cylinder 2... All other bolts popped off no problem, but #2 was toight like a tigah: Luckily...

Dayum CS intake AND exhaust manis?! Feel like getting your hands on one of those is a miracle let alone both lol - looking forward to watching your journey bro!

Thanks brotha! ????

Been slow going this week, mainly due to work picking up a bit and me needing to acquire a few tools. First snag I ran into was the pilot bearing, tried the bread method for a solid 3 hours with no luck. Also surprise surprise chain auto parts stores' rental tools failed me again: O'Reilly's...

What's up everyone I've got a 2013 black mica Speed3, named Anna. Picked her up back in May of '20, did some basic bolt-ons (HPFP, AP, catless DP, intake) and figured if I'm gonna go through the trouble of slapping on more involved mods might as well pull the engine and knock everything out at...
