Not necessary with a tune. In 89 fuel enrichment at start up was added in the tune. So if you are eliminating the cold start injector, the tuner will just make up for it. |

That what Alvin at pcmforless was telling me when we talked the other day. Getting ready to have Alvin do the retune for the new enhancements. I am going to try polishing the SR this weekend. Son brought some from the 4x4 shop he works at. If it works I will put some pictures up. If not off to friends Plating shop for Power coating. He wants to make it look like a Dominos Pizza box.

Almost finished polishing the pellum .My old buffer took a dive. Harbor freight has a special deal today. Work's very well. Runners will be next. This stuff from Goard's cleans things up fast.

He thought 24 were just fine. He said the change to the bosch 3 will be a big difference by it's self.
Not done more work on polishing |

The store selling por 15 said the heat would make the coating yellow He recommended this clear coat from KBS I was also told that you can clear power coat. Of all the products I looked at the price for power coating I am told would be about the same. |

Por 15 is some of the most worthless crap on the planet.
2 guys will say any product is "the best ever" as long as they get paid. They certainly don't test this stuff. KBS has a good rep but I haven't tried it. DupliColor's Hi Temp Ceramic is bullet proof (I use a lot of it) but don't know if they have that in Clear. All the powdercoat shops can do clear, it comes out really nice but, I'd discuss the high temp application with the owner (for yellowing, etc.) |

Re install the ecm drive down the street in half a block oil running on cat smoke bad. Almost drained pan. You can see il on bolt where head bolt is. Oil running not squirting. By my guess. Hope not blown head gasket or cracked head. your guess. Son coming over to help as I am sick |

FWIW, I had my SR polished and they used a ceramic clear to preserve it. I've not had time to make the top of the engine as 'pretty' as I'd like..... yet.
Agreed, with so many comments about taking a break when R/Ring the SR. I swore I'd sell it if I ever had to do that again, but with practice it IS easier. A 'professional' (and I use that term very liberally in his case) drilled out the base, using Nylock nuts, which work and have held well for some time. I have found that some of the 'under' bolts have insufficient clearance for a ratcheting box; tedious. My biggest gripe is the repeated mashing/damaging of the W/W cover, no matter how I try to shift the engine, etc. I've been thru 2 so far, and they are getting rare.
