Good evening CGs!

I almost made a mistake and put morning....hmmm...old habits die hard. Well, sorry for the late start, but I no longer work mids so I'll be chiming in later. I'm surprised no one started the thread w/o me

Had a good day at work, loving workin 8-4.

Ordered my new injectors from Rich Gonna try to get some stuff torn down this week and see what I can get accomplished.

How was everyone else's day? Hope everyone had a great one!

Today has been busy! I havn't been busy in a long time so it feels really good haha.

Weekend was hectic, Saturday was working on my friends civic (again)

had just put on new valve springs, retainers, and a crower cam, and a set of my 750's.

Got it all back on the car, turbo bolted up. Went for initial startup to break the cam in, had a vacuum leak so idle was erratic, snapped the timing belt and broke the crank pulley (was welded)

Friday night was spent working on a different friends... you guess it... CIVIC! I got the pleasure of pulling the head on that one for a full rebuild.

Nice quiet day off (or 3 days....)

Got the Vette started (I was amaazed - first time I turned the key in some 6 months) - just charged the battery and she started.

Then I put a new battery in my G/S - again 6 months between starts - fired right up!! (damn, I like BMW's), next up get the clutch replaced....

Oh well, back to my nap

See, civics are reliable cars until you start playing with them...lol. I guess vettes are the same way. What's wrong with us????

One of them is 95% finished, hopefully will flow them at AFR sometime by next weekend. If the numbers are good (sure they are fine as is) Ill put some finishing touches on it, duplicate the other one and finish the TPI parts. Factory heads take an eternity to make them halfway respectable. Then out they go for soda blasting and a 3 angle V.J.
Whatever I can help out on shoot me a call.
