  • So beginning of March I took my TFS heads to Calvert and got them cleaned up, checked out with a clean bill of health and had .018 milled off the deck to get the Loc-Wire gasket ring milled out of it. Got them back a week later. I've got my valve covers stripped and the crappy old orange paint off them, I taped off the raised letters so I can leave them with the machined look and laid down some wrinkle black paint. I also got my GT-40 intake with port matched lower cleaned up, painted and ready to go. I got in most of the stuff I need to do the top end of the engine, which I hope will be fine with a TFS1 cam and 1.72 rockers.

    That said, if anyone has some good 1.6 RR and wants 1.7, mine are scorpion and I might be interested in trading.

      • I knew I'd be tearing it down so I drove it almost the whole week, and it was perfect weather for it!



        Up on stands it goes...



        Time to pull it apart.

            • Stock long block, not sure on miles but the crosshatch isn't awesome... had good compression before I tore it down though so I'm gonna leave it as is till I break it or go bigger later down the road.





              These fucking E7 heads weigh a metric shit ton... I think I can skip the gym tomorrow after lifting them off. I still need to buy a puller tomorrow to remove the balancer.

                      Awww... that's cute.

                      When the government pays, the government controls.

                        • I'll need to see a DP can next to it, to accurately gauge how big it is.

                            Just borrow one from Autozone or Oreilly's.

                            • It's like $15 bucks... I might as well buy it.
