Next list will be guessing when you’re gonna put it in the truck.

Used the ARP 4.320 compressor. From memory none of them caught awhile going in.

Believe I set the gaps to .030 top ring .032 2nd. Had plenty of ring gap in it. With that being said it’s not out of the realm of possibility that I messed up while rushing it together, I’d just think it would have shown its face much sooner. I won’t rule anything out.

It’s part of the game. I’m actually enjoying working on the car again and being semi under pressure to make this race. Been a long time since I’ve actually enjoyed it.
