Bushed?

Make a bushing the size of the head stud hole with clearance for the stud in the hole, than install with sealant, stops any possible transfer of coolant. Bushed holes should have sealant on the head stud instead of arp lube

Block didn’t take long to get built and shipped. It landed this past Friday at the shop. It was a smooth and easy business transaction with the shop in Canada. Also the Unigroup camshafts came in. Got them fitted up and ready to send the head off to get cleaned and the New valves (guides and seals) installed. More to come....

A little more progression photos:  

 

had to order 28 shims from SuperTech to get to this point. But finally both intake and exhaust completely done. Waiting on the head gasket now. (It’s enroute). It’s a tight fit! :)E16C171C-2BBA-45B1-BB2A-9FA2E70D45BF.thumb.jpeg.88309d270b3969f74fe679960172c802.jpegB5779B50-9704-4C9C-ACF1-BAB365824A5E.thumb.jpeg.a0e85ba33b2c93596ea52d69aabf6fa3.jpegD270A4E3-BB28-419E-9780-ADABC53C2592.thumb.jpeg.d0a08a537d414127adb98e196cc54333.jpegFA7C87E8-09EB-4F2B-8A80-BFD6FC06AF3A.thumb.jpeg.a6a3e750f6373712bb1ddf391e8a8c37.jpeg

I originally was shooting for 450 to the wheels and met that goal and some thanks to E85 😈. Low boost 15 PSI 513WHP and 357 TQ. Due to stock tranny high boost is stopping at 20Psi and 569WHP 396 ft lb TQ. I’m very happy with these numbers and cannot wait to learn this new beast.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
