pics & diy writeup? now's the time...

 

What ?!?!?

What are you doing?

What's a firering?

Best of luck with the project Woli !!
( whatever it is ... )

 

fireringing the head allows you to run more boost w/o blowing a head gasket.

maybe a dumb question for you but, you do know you have to machine the head or block for a firering ? If you are doing this... are you doing anything else to it?

 

well head removed,this thang is damn heavy!!!!
i manage to escape whit only 2 bleeding knukles thanks to the last head bolt who slipping on me so i crushed my finger on the heater return fitting!

i migh do a DIY on FIRERINGS and REINSTALLING THIS whitout messing i all,i was in a hurry today cuz i cant deck the head myself i dont have a stone grinder and summer vacations here next 2 weeks
almost everything is closed... friday ill have to do groove for firerings...

TRITON: Comon buddy,dont make fun of me [sm=noooo.gif] I have access to a CNC milling as mine is conventionnal and i dont trust this enough for that!...[sm=icon_rock.gif]
Mouhahaha and nope i dont plan on doing something else right now,i checked for cnc porting and its out of money range as i will need a new SBC DD Clutch pretty soon!

Ill buy a complete ported head later but for now i need to fix a leaking gasket...only about 1 quart of coolant every tank but that bugging me and a little oil is leaking right on the front pulley and messing everything!

Mayfair check the pics ull see
