TORSPD: NEVR

That would be really bad, to have it fail off road. Especially with the height of your transmission from the ground, and weight with the transfer case.

 

Guess it's a good thing I trailer Smokey to the trails these days.

But, I do need to start thinking about a new clutch and flywheel. If I'm going to pull the transfer case for the crawlbox I might as well go ahead and pull the tranny while I'm at it.

 

Are you still rolling around with a busted passenger mirror, or did you put the stock glass back in? I need to swing by your place and bring you a new one.

 

He's adapted, he's put little mirrors on the outside of his sunglasses and called it good.

 

You're right there anyway. Save you the headache later, for certain. That passenger mirror is still installed. The factory ones are still in my center console.

I adapted to be like Crazy Eyes.....

 

Here is the video of what I found with the radiator.

Is this normal?

That movement of the plunger is normal. There is a little to much play between the pedal and the top of the plunger though.

 

I went ahead and adjusted the plunger out and and cracked the bleeder and did a full pump. tightened the bleeder. pulled the pedal back up by hand and worked it a couple of times. Needless to say, I am grateful for your help. This combo luckily fixed my engagement issue. Goes into gear easy now and does not try to surge forward while putting it in gear. Thanks again! Now i have to get with scott again and get my surging/hickup figured out at 4.8k.

 

That's awesome to hear man!

 

Well not sure how I ever "lost" boost....The more accurate statement is, "how did it run at 8 psi before?" I have no memory of changing out the wastegate spring to a 5.8 psi spring. I only remember the curiosity of not having 8 psi. Either way, when I pulled the cap of the wastegate, sure enough, there was a 5.8 psi spring in there. Doesn't matter at this point. Feels fawking amazing to be back to 8 psi. Oh how I've missed you, yellow spring!

 

Tor, I searched your build thread and didn't find the answer... Did you successfully find a source a fourth whiteline poly bushing? And if so, did you get them installed in your LCA's? If so, any fitment issues upon install?

If not, what kind of bushings are you running in the LCA's? I'm assuming you have stock LCA's

Thank you.

 

Actually no. Still sitting in a box with other parts to be installed. Currently, my LCA's still have the OEM bushings in them. I just greased the crap out of them when I took them apart last. As the grease from the previous time was a bit filthy. Indeterminate, as I am considering the TC Chromoly LCA's.

 

video or it didn't happen

 

Don't twist my leg! Ok. Fine. I'll do it. I won't be happy about it though...

 

You sure don't like doing video, lol. You must really love the guys that make a video for everything

 

Lol. Yeah. I just don't seem to. I don't actually mind it though.

Speaking of "video everything", I have been watching this YouTube channel, "Budget Racers." Holy smokes! Sit back and enjoy the carnage. Motivated but "lack of knkwledge on the subject," is an understatement. A lot of fun.

 

I attempted to make an acceleration video last night. Angle of the camera makes it look like 10 psi. Road was too cold and near instantly broke traction.

I can still post it, but need to get another on a warmer day.

 

Been a long weekend. Missed adding a few updates. Here is the rest of the build process of the driver side head. All finished up finally, as of yesterday.





This is everything swapped over and ready fo check the valve lash. Interestingly, the valves on the exhaust side were all equally setup with the maximum allowable tolerance. Every shim bucket had to be replaced to get it to the minimum tolerance. For maximum opening.
All finished up.



Here is a glimpse of the heads. Sacrificing themselve. All for one.

 

And here is the video I promised. Not the best, but it'll do for now.
