71 Duster 360 turbo build
Just a quick oil change before I head to the track! :rofl:
Compression/leak down was good. Plugs are beautiful, and heads are off now; everything looks good. I can still get a trickle of water out of the oil pan so the leak is likely at the timing cover, but hopefully I haven’t hurt the block. It’s starting to get hot, and I have other priorities so this is probably it for a while. I’ll likely swap from 3.91’s to 3.23’s while it’s down and make sure the pinion angle is acceptable because I believe it’s positive at the moment.
Here’s a draggy run from the fan belt incident(12psi 10*). Idled off the line, rolled into it, let off before the 8th. Best so far was 101mph with a soft street launch letting off before the full 8th(9psi 15*). Recorded on a friends phone though so I’ll post it up if he gets it to me.
