    Any Hotairs w/ a coldcase radiator????

    No kidding. I'm attaching a "Brass Products" catalog page image which helped me get started. I just finished up my coldcase radiator install and have some pictures and info for you. The end goal is to utilize the engine oil cooling section of the radiator, so that the factory trans cooling...

    Any Hotairs w/ a coldcase radiator????

This means I would need to find an fitting/combo that would end up being 5/16" inverted flare female to 1/2" inverted flared male. Anyone on this...

    Piston to wall clearance; I'm not sure my original method of measuring was correct but I can squeeze a .036 feeler gauge between piston and wall. Cross hatch presence confirmed. With no signs of rod balance pad work having been performed, should I make plans to have the engine rebalanced...

    Good copy: New timing set on my shelf, just waiting on the damper from RA. Oil slinger on order. The lifters & cam (lifter to cam) contact surfaces show no pitting or signs of distress. Will reuse rocker assembly (new buttons?), pushrods and lifters.

    Update # 2: I pulled the block and have gotten as far as removing the oil pan and timing cover. I found a sleeved cylinder (4) and a upgraded timing set with no oil slinger.

    I had the injectors serviced when I replaced my intake gasket, prior to getting the car on the road full time. I can have them flow tested just in case.

    I understand that not all auto mechanics are familiar with our turbo 6 engines but any machine shop should be able to take care of the head refresh, right?
