Thanks....

... for the info guys. I'll probably do some other things first,maybe another fueling or timing box. I plan on getting another new truck when I get this one paid for. Then I can play with the 99 some more ... . Doug

What's a Porting, and O-ring head costing these days?? Ballpark.

Orings are running $600+



Porting depends on who and how. . I dunno for sure.



The porting has not been good for much power but EGTs seem to drop so you can make more power w/no increase in EGTs. Rumor has it that the Cams have the same effect. I'll find out soon enough.



Later,

Piers does an O-ring job for a lot less than $600... ... Last I checked I think he was getting $300.



Doug

 

[Mark_Kendrick]

WOW, too bad I don't live closer... for $300 I have him do it.



Was that taking the head off and putting it back on??

 

[Jetpilot]

Thats if you send him your head and he O-rings it. Now if you are talking O-ringing + labor you need to call Piers for that one. Sorry if I mislead anyone.

Don't forget to factor in shipping..... thats a heavy lil piece of equipment.



Nowel charges $300 for a single truck in labor for oringing the head only.



Don't forget studs ($400)



and the gaskest cost $195 (copper stock thickness).

KatDiesel, you're o-ringin' the head and block... . right? I have never heard of just machining the head... . that's why I ask... .

Yes I am doing both as far as I know at this time. Floor It has really good ideas and hes discussing it with some people and we'll go from there.



You are able to just oring the head only.

 

[HoleshotHolset]

VERY cool!



I think this may solve all you drug sniffers' head gasket problem for at least a week or so... .

Thanks for the info!

We are running the Nitrous Express kit that was assembled for us. Our best run was done with a 49 and an 89. We are going to try bigger as we have LOTS of fuel. Hoping to be in the 11s very soon ( maybe tonight). We are seeing gains of 160 hp with nitrous so far.
