[Ineedav8]

Finished just need to seal them up

 

[Ineedav8]

Header flange is bent so no bueno nor care just mean i have to hustle and build the 4 valve but recently Ive been working on these prepping them for life once again polished/painted barrel powdered or painted face and polished lips flush mount valve stems and some form of center cap

Need to decide on a color though...

 

[Ineedav8]

Trying to avoid reading build threads etc and just do things differently that make me happy but i still like to throw up some progress but got my relay harness in and installed now i can flash all the mall crawlers with there led bars on at night and decided to go a different route with choice of wheel color and some interior work here and there just fixing an abundence of problems but anywho heres some pictures

I could finally slap that sticker on now lol

And just upgrading my underhood lighting from 3 small leds to 24 leds in total (using a small strip.) Now I have a reason to make it look presentable under there now that i can see lol

 

[Ineedav8]

Well here I am now

As well as popping the tubular k member and solid motor mounts in

As I wait for this bundle of happiness as well as my 3 month long wait for decals,plate frame and lanyard hopefully it'll be back together before the next cars and coffee

Did you ever think of continuing the white theme you have going on and doing white with a polished lip?

OR maybe a black gloss lip and satin bronze face?

I thought of doing the entire rim in a sunken treasure color that looks black untill the light hits it at an angle but knowing how much i like the white they'll probably get piwdercoated a matte white

Drivabillity issues anyone? Lol all of them have cracked caps

Painted more goodies dont plan on using the oem drivers side coil bracket but wanted to paint it lol plan to relocate them to on the firewall behind the intake also i cracked the coolant passage on the intake so i had to improvise so i started by hacking the passage off entirely and tapping it for a brass fitting threw it all togther with some locktight and some epoxy i dont think i should ever have a leak again i just have to smooth it out a bit and repaint it

 

[Ineedav8]

Found a decent driver side taillight and decided to grab it also found a mark 8 fan pulled it to find out it was cracked and broken
Oh well my timesert tools came in today so on the head stays because screwww all that and just reassemble the car and maybe decap the 19lb injectors or swap to 24lb injectors

 

[Ineedav8]

Back on the ground again need to put togther the other valve cover and some little things then the timesert install on the motor getting a borescope and slapping magnet in the cylinder for a hour untill i get all of the shavings lol

I use an air hose black taped to a shop vacuum hose to get the big chips after useing the first tool, before installing the sert. Dont root in to much about the smaller shavings. When aluminum is that thin, that small, first compression evaporates it. Most of the chips are to big to slip between the piston and cylinder wall. In other words, timesert designed a great tool to keep the chips big. A bore scope is a great idea looking for other types of damages that may have happened. Timeserted 5.4l have ran years with not much thought about the aluminum shavings. They timsert it and then fire up! Even though the instructions were to evacuate the chips.

Yup bought a helicoil kit but didnt like the idea being the motors really healthy just old so decided to fork out the hundreds and buy the kit. I'll post up how it goes I'm excited to have my car back ! In the instructions it says to use a metal bonding heat resistant material should i use red lock tite or another adhesive?

Yup it says to use a "jb weld or other heat resisting material" it's to late tho heads already drilled and tapped need to clean the shavings the best i can borescope helps alot.

Love this shot [emoji106]
