o-ringed head

[CUMINNTSTRKN]

well guy's i went up a few days early for bd-dyno days and had piers's right hand man al o-ring my head. it took us longer than it should of j/k al. so far so good, i was hitting 62psi on the dyno. i was also feeding it n2o and lpg. i made around 10 runs on the dyno, and 20+ runs on the street and it's holding up great. on the dyno my overflow bottle was blowing oil on the ground, oh well the head gasket held and that's all that matter's. i plan on turning the boost up to 70psi and then i'm done, for now.



i want to thank piers, al, louise and kate for putting up with me all day tuesday.

Thanks for making me totally rethink my statement! That would present a bit of a challenge.

thanks Jim. The next time you are up my way give me a call. I would like to check out your rig and maybe even a quick ride. I was real pleased with how your last truck ran. Gordon.

ATS is gonna have an O-ringed head soon... shipping a 135lb head is easier than driving to most anywhere over 300mi.

 

[CannonBall]

Looking forward to it Jim.

ATS head?

What can you tell me about this ATS head deal? $ + shipping + core or what? Any info would be a big help? Thanks

donno yet. . not released. I want one bad. I salivate like pavlovs mutt at the thought of it



It won't be cheap but will be an over the counter part for us do-it-yourselfers.





Send me an email and I'll let you know when I know.



l8r,

Mark

If we dont stop having these kids I may check into getting my head o-ringed as well

Wonder if Piers can do that?

I drove almost 900 miles to get Piers to do the 4k gov springs, valve springs & put on the HX40. 2 days of driving, in the winter. Distance & time isn't in the equation. Quality is.

There is a cure!

There is a cure for that, be a man and go under the knife. :{

The knife? No way Jose! Knife bad. O-ring good!
