Well, I have BBK in, 58.5 cylinder head, A-12 cam, and performance coil. Went smoothly except for a few minor bumps in the road.
Bumps :
- Stock intake riser/spacer under manifold; the spacer hole was a little smaller than new larger cylinder head intake hole. - nothing a dremel couldn't handle. That way it actually allows more air in.
- Header pipe bracket holes were 6mm, new cylinder head exhaust studs were 8mm. Nothing a drill press couldn't fix.
Now since I have a larger exhaust port on cylinder head I was wondering if I should attempt to drill out header pipe
The initial part of the header pipe appears to have a smaller 2" long pipe inserted in it. My thought is should I attempt to use a hole saw bit to open up that initial header pipe? Since it does not really give my larger exhaust port with the still stock header.
- When adjusting valve clearance I stripped adjustment screw head -no biggie, just have to wait on new once to come in.
- Like a
I accidentally crumbled up cam tensioner gasket
- new one is on the way.
Now just have to drain oil and get new filter, wait on those odds and ends and hopefully fire it up soon.
I am hoping my largest main jet (134 ) will be good enough , if not then more jetting on the way.
