Ok...Questions on my other thread....

What are the pistons CR?

Not too sure on this one. i have to ask mike at sda what he put in.

That engine is calling for nitrous.

OBX hoses suck, throw those in the trash.

That's a rocker btw.

What are the pistons CR?

my hoses have never given me a problem and i have had them since the buy in. i like them personally. i guess they were a hit and miss kinda thing.
I know its a rocker, i just said that cuz it was early in the morning/late at night lol. im going to make a keychain out of my busted rocker.
And im thinking of keeping the engine like this right now and supercharging it in the future. just going to get a good tune on it and keep it N/A

Why'd you take the valve cover off before removal?

I did this cuz my clutch was being a bitch and we dicided to take it off while it was in the car. not the greatest idea, i know, but it was late lol. so we took the valve cover off to turn the motor via the cams (crank pulley was off and we had no other way)


anything else? lol

Re: Build Questions for "The Dark Knight"

not the best idea moving everything with the cams lol. It's a heck of a lot easier to just put the crank pulley back on and turn the motor that way. Just for future reference.

Re: Build Questions for "The Dark Knight"

how long did it take to do the swap?

it took me a weekend to do. but that was with no instructions or anything, njust winging it. if i had to do it again, i could probably do it in about a day or so.
