I received the correct sized compressor today. Much earlier than expected. Holy hell that was waaaay easier. Got 3 of 4 pistons sitting nicely in their home. Too bad I bent that oil ring for #4 doof Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

And it's black already. Which goes with my black/white engine bay lol. Yes, definitely lighter and easily available/replaceable. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

I don't plan on replacing mine. But a lot of people can't stand a plastic manifold. A buddy of mine showed me this Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

I stumbled upon this intake manifold and began to ponder. Has anyone tried using an aftermarket intake manifold for a FoST on our engines? I went ahead and contacted this company and asked for flow data. They said they had none for the manifold...

I spoke with Jordan last night and he said Manley added that size to their catalog specifically for Overspeed. So that makes sense that they're hard to find I guess. He also said he has extras of those oil rings and he'll try finding one for me. Not bad. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

They're definitely 87.75. Shop measured and I confirmed. Manley offers a 87.75 in their catalog and corresponding piston rings Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Good question. I had purchased new 88 pistons for the 2nd Overspeed motor and at the last minute he sent me a message that he was using 87.75 pistons instead. I thought it was kind of weird at the time. So here I am with an 87.75 bore block. I inspected them this morning and they all look good...

I was able to find a tapered 87.75 compressor from ARP for a decent price. I'll give it another go once that and the new ring set arrives. I'm a little worried I may have damaged all the rings somewhat. I may just scrap this whole set and start fresh with the new set. Sent from my SM-G996U...

I think that's exactly what my problem is. The 88 compressor won't work and finding a tapered 87.75 compressor seems difficult so far. I really don't want to resort to using the old school universal clamp type. Or having to purchase a $100+ tool set for this one time use. At that price it seems...

Massive failure today. Frustrating as hell. When I go to pop the 87.75 pistons in the block, the wiseco 88mm piston ring compressor is giving me quite the headache. I ended up bending one oil control ring. Now I'm waiting on another set of rings at the moment. I gave it a go several times and...

Ships his motors with break in specific oil that you run until 250. Then move to a conventional oil until 1500. At that point you can switch to synthetic oil of your choice. He basically says drive it like you stole it from the get go to get them rings to seat. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Got quite a bit done today. This is my first time so I took my sweet ass time and it's quite the learning experience. Piston rings filed to .020 top and .024 bottom (thanks JTL) I also got the pistons and rods all mated up and happy. I'm boggling my mind about spacing the ring gaps correctly...

Finally! I picked up everything from the machine shop today and had some time to finally get the crank in. It spins nice and smooth. Up next is fit/filing piston ring gaps. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

(7) 4AN straight fittings (4) 4AN 90° fittings (7) 1/8npt to 4AN adapters (4) 1/8npt to 4AN 90° adapters (2) 10mm to 4AN banjo adapters 20ft. of 4AN line I ordered it all off eBay and probably have extra of certain fittings I'm sure lol Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Best damn Enki response ever. I can't be any sort of high around my 3yr old. Not anymore at least. It's okay there's always Burning Man. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Boredom. While I wait for this rotating assembly to come back from the shop. Hey, this is better than drugs right??? Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Here's some more photos of the AN conversion mock up. Might mount the ebcs somewhere else than the valve cover lol Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Found a little time today to start on my AN line conversion for all vacuum lines. I'm running 4AN from the ST manifold to a vacuum block. I'm trying to think of a solution to replace the vacuum hose running to the purge valve from the vacuum block, but it may just stay as is. Anyone have...

Dropped everything off at the machine shop for balancing today. I should have it all back early next week. Then it's time to drop this crank in! Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk
