Motors all together pressure tested. This Dasa went together very nicely. Very nice work Kyle! Did a few little tweaks to this motor to add a bit more to it. Well see how it works out compared to the last one. Coated the pistons, like normal, added some port matching and gasket matching, and a little more timing.
Shimmed up the motor yesterday, when quicker than I expected. Normally it takes me 2-4 hrs to shim one properly. This one is square and true with the new motor mounts so it was only about 2 1/2 hrs
Decided to chrome powder coat the factory pipe for a little added bling. Well see how that holds up, If it does, ill do a few more items on the next build. Have access to a few colors now. Its killer having powder coat and now anodizing where i know the people and can have it done quickly. Huge difference in doing the quality of builds that I like.
Now its time to go flay with the Full Specs, and see if I cant get a little more there as well. Hope to be running this week, then off to pick up a friend with a Micro, and go brake this motor in where its warmer. Cold water and new motors do not go well, IMO
