beautiful!!!

does that paint wipe off and leave a silvery residue on your hands? after running it for a while it dulls off and stays a solid veryyyyy clean aluminum color!!!

that copper headgasket spray is fantastic, seals like crazy, i ALWAYS use it, it even makes it hard to *remove* the gasket!

any reason for the f22b head vs an A? which block did you start with?

[Boost_Lee]

yes! i love copper spray! put on 2 coats just to make sure, then tq'd the ARP bolts 3 times to make sure. Yea the spray does rub off, but it stopped after about a week. I cant wait till it dulls out a little, should be fun. I still have to paint the tranny, starter and alt housing. Can i take the coils out of the alt housing?

the motor is a full b1, i bought it sleeved already with rods and the head had some work done to it. so why not eh? i got a great deal on it and it should make some serious tq with the 87mm

[cp[mike]]

at least you know that sucker is sealed up TIGHT. and good deal on the motor... nothing wrong with going with the most cost effective upgrade you were able to find a manifold for that?

and nah pulling the alternator apart is a bitch... i had a spare that i experimented with, and i gave up... but then again i never managed to get the pulley off lol. still hasnt burst into flames yet

[Smokinspeeds]

hey some sand and polish typeG style will suffice. You've put so much time in already what harm could a few more do?

[PRIMOCB7]

eh.. one rainy day in texas and there goes the shine
it looks really good B, and i'm sure its gonna run even better. keep the pics coming

[Boost_Lee]

no time for that, polished aint really my thing

looks like i'll just have to spray the alt. as is, lol

has to be half way, whats the point of buying a restrictor if your just gonna leave it wide open?

[Boost_Lee]

half is ok, if you want you can try 3/4ths and see if thats good enough. You wanna run the most oil without harming the turbo seals. I had mine set about half way

[steelbluesleepR]

[Boost_Lee]
