Good luck! Are you gonna get her back on a dyno, to see your result?
the tappets are new, pushrods, lifters, cam...all that's been gone through but my base gaskets weren't leaking so I left the heads alone til this now. Now we get to go through the whole thing and make sure everything is in tip top shape. I got the chrome bolt set for the motor too so I can get rid of the stock steel ones that aren't nice and purty.

The heads: it was between Baisley, Ward Performance and Lee's Speed Shop. Ward doesn't work on Evo's but they said they "could" do it. Baisley is way higher end than I'm doing to this engine and Lee is a Joe Mondello prodigy and been at it for 25 years so for his evo experience and his training, the heads are going to Lee's. (probably a much longer explanation that desired.)

I'd love to say I'm not putting it on the dyno again but I know I'd be full of sh*t. Yes of course it's going back on. And if bolts come loose again, I'll tighten them up. If the engine blows, I'll put in a 113. Win-Win-Win.

I'm excited to get it finished and let it fly.
