I can't just make things work, but try to make sure its put back together as if I'm not planning on pulling it apart again.
I did the ultimate white trash thing and washed it the other day with no motor in it haha. It was looking horrible from sitting and was getting covered in sawdust.
Probably have to start bugging Ray to get it by then :)
I hear you about taking your time. Lots of little things stalled my build but I'm past that now and it's getting fun :) I probably won't make NG again this year mostly because of family trips etc centered around the kids graduations.
hey man, i just came on here to check with you about that. i know you were busy with the whole house deal and all. the engine has been ready.. so im ready when you are. also, i did a ton of testing with E85 and the mysteries of knock, engine damage and pre ignition. for knock.. i still never see knock with this fuel. since other platforms do see it.. ill still say that our sensor doesnt like to read it. on a different front.. this fuel is the worst with pre ignition compared to any other fuel ive used. this means you can do a nice clean tune thats perfect.. then make a 4 gear pull and by say the end or third or 4th.. the clowing center and ground electrode light off the fuel before the spark. so regardless of the timing, you end up with damage. the fix is cold plugs with a short ground electrode.. like domestic race engines with big nitrous. i did back to back testing and it ends all of that

wow that is great, I'll send a pm!Quote:

its just for E85. autolite AR3932 and AR3933.Quote:

I guess we should try the AR3932 and see if it fouls and then move to the colder AR3933 ? I was running 7 series NGKs before which were probably too hot anyway.Quote:
