Cooling system holds 20psi steady, first bullet dodged.

All cylinders have compression.

Now to toss it back together and weld in second gate.

So, It did blow a head gasket? Going back MLS? Just a curious bench racer.

Doesn't seem to have blown a head gasket.

Took the day off so gonna try to get stuff back installed and have the car ready for the weekend perhaps.

Unrelated to the head gasket scare, current wastegate setup seems to want to climb to 9-10psi on gate. Which is annoying since I was able to get 5psi or so on dyno.

So, I said fuck it and ordered another gate before the PRI show



Another motion part that made me feel dirty to order


Burnt together




Hopefully I can get 5psi on gate then work on adding boost via on board air

Some random side projects for the car

Sump for a plastic LS1 tank


Chopped up stock bucket to fit sump and removed the OE fuel pump


Fancy sump

Dual gates doing work

More things to practice aluminum tig welding



New 100mic pre filter


Big order of txl wire, and DT connectors


New dial a boost since the last one broke, and the first DT connector to be pinned

[shownomercy]

Want an excellent example of what not to do?



No going back now


Oh lawd


Spaghetti monster


But, hey at least the DT connectors look cool as fuck
