No updates lately.. Long story but my garage size was severely downgraded moving into las vegas so despite my better judgement I had to have someone else pull the engine and do a full rebuil on head and block. New oil pump with AZP pipe, shimmed. New oil squiters, BC 272 Cams, 1mm over sized valves... Etc..

Well Final Stage, Turbo Tony apparently used a bolt that was too long for the adjustable cam gear from titan which kept the ball on the end of the cam in the closed posistion preventing oil flow to the exhaust cam. Snapped the Cam in two pieces as well as destroyed the head.

6 mo's later and alot of headaches and a newly reaffirmed distaste for mechanics that touch my car... It is finally over at DDS performance getting a final check on everything before going on the dyno and getting tuned.

So getting car back tomorrow... Then ripping apart the suspension starts. Then perhaps ill get to drive it...
