well sadly i have a bad feeling something is wrong with the heads or at best the gaskets:(

something strange was pulling 2 injectors with the GM lb7 inj puller , It wouldnt fit on the hold down? No its not a lly injector hold down:D Dunno..probably means nothing

just dont know weather to pull the heads or try the billet hold downs and hope for the best?

Bummer Simon:( Since they are Guy's heads worst case is you have to send them to him for inspection. Damn though wouldn't it just be nice to have had it work the first time. I hope you figure it out. Good Luck

well ive decided to hold off on the heads,But im worried that ive done something wrong on the install or dunno....just me being me:D

all the injector sleeves look great no carbon on them,if there was i would be very happy and they where all tight

I am hoping the clamps will arrive tommorow and i can start putting her back together

Is this piece of shit back together yet. :D :hug:


Nope:( Sitting in the shop with the valve covers off but injectors are in and guys billet hold downs are installed

I learned the hard way to not overnight stuff from the US it took longer than regular shipping:rolleyes: and then the day they arrived I had to go to work

Even if I do get it back together,I still dont know if the injector cups where leaking or what was wrong

Big Race in 2 weeks that i would love to go to....We will see

What did you guys do with the MAP sensor when you fabbed the big fricken intake neck? I just got the tubing to do that to mine. Trying to figure out what to do with the MAP sensor.

John
the map sensor on a 01 is on the PS intake runner

Not sure if it's smaller runner or not either....may want to look for a 01 runner or perhaps fab up a flange to install it on the BIG FRIKEN INTAKE:)

Im gong to limp it home and pull the motor AGAIN and see what i can get going for next season

Now off to the liquid store to find the biggest bottle of whiskey and drown in it:(:mad:
