[QUOTE="Wild Horses, post: 1411036, member: 19251"] As far as my progress goes... I got my high speed bearings and impeller seal. Not 5 minutes after USPS dropped em off my mechanical impeller shaft seal was broken...The socket I had setup on the inner sleeve on the press jumped just a TINY bit. But enough to take a big chunk out. $45 down the drain. Ordered a new one that will be here Monday and I'm crossing my fingers because the car goes on the dyno the next morning! Anyway... here's some pics. [IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f200/thefinest1/2001%20Laser%20Red%20Cobra%20Convertible/IMG_2429_zpss4sdt0nj.jpg[/IMG] Everything lubed up with new bearings ready to go back together. [IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f200/thefinest1/2001%20Laser%20Red%20Cobra%20Convertible/IMG_2424_zpsebdloml1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f200/thefinest1/2001%20Laser%20Red%20Cobra%20Convertible/IMG_2426_zps8ff90i51.jpg[/IMG] Im not really sure how it will react to this but I figured a polished surface would help flow. I know incoming air has strange dynamics and reacts to polished surfaces much different. When I ported my heads I left a nice 80grit intake port surface and they flow like crazy. I guess I'll have to see what happens. [IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f200/thefinest1/2001%20Laser%20Red%20Cobra%20Convertible/IMG_2413_zps6oehsdig.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
