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.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
