I've added some more pics here:

The cranks wasn't too far out of balance but the rods where bad. #4 con rods was 32 grams heavier than the lightest rod(#3) the others where 18 to 24 grams heavy.



Also have pics of reciever groove in block to match the head o-ring and another o-ring out side the reciver groove in the block.



Also came up with a great thermo coating that I coated my ATS manifold with as well as the exhaust ports in the head.

While looking at your ATS manifold it looks like you drilled the pyro hole on the bottm side. Why didn't you drill it at one of the bosses? Thanks for the link to the paint/barrier stuff.

I now have holes in both side of the manifold . It had one in the boss from before. But with the twin turbo set up you run the manifold upside down. .

What are your max recommended EGT's with those thermal-coated pistons?

Piers once told me the crank wasn't bad but the rods really needed to be balanced Guess he was right again!
