Weren't you saying the other day you were afraid to put more power into the thing because you didn't want to break the tranny?? Just be careful man! Don't go breaking her after you put all that work into it!

 
Damn Eddie left Sergie hanging with no food. How about a Lobstah Roll. Get your Lobstah Roll here!

Update: The pass. side head had 25% leak on the worst cylinder #1 and 18% on the #3. Lapped the valves and brought both down to 10%. yay

Good luck with the build Sergei and Ryan (who's doing more work?

). +1 on that ridiculously clean engine bay. I don't get it.

 
****ing timing belt tensioner put everything to a screeching hault today. Everything was going well too...

 
his old one. You could see the oil was seeping through the top, and i was wondering why it didnt take me too long to compress it. When rotating the crank, you could see the tensioner moving up and down quite a bit.

 
I totally looked over getting a new tensioner with everything else for this swap. Probably should have been replaced at 100k w/ timing belt.
