Ended up having to order a stand. None could be found locally.
Ordered a 2000lb stand from Jegs September 1. Somehow, delivered September 2.
The Box wasn't damaged from shipment. I opened the box. Missing 2 of the 6 casters. Missing ALL of the hardware. Missing the Turning Plate/Head.
Called Jegs September 2. Told "Oops, That happens sometimes, Parts will ship tomorrow."
Nothing happened September 3, 4, 5 and 6th.
Shipment notification September 7.
Parts finally arrive September 9.
WTH....
Have the engine mounted and started stripping it today.
Heads are off, gasket surfaces cleaned, all head bolt threads chased in the block.
Bores look good, just a hint of the factory hone left.
Heads look good. Just getting them cleaned up now.
The passenger side of the engine looks like it was running hotter. Valves look like they were hotter as do the precups.
Nothing alarming, Just hotter. Once I've got the heads fully torn down I'll inspect and make a call at that point.
I suspect the factory exhaust is to blame. I'm sure the way they just tag the passengers side into the exhaust at a 90° angle really helps with scavenging...
Last weekend I spent tidying up the engine bay a tad. I rolled the factory firewall lip over in preparation of a turbo downpipe. An air palm nailer with the nail guide removed, works wonders.
Just don't get your hand between the trans and the hammer and have it fire.
That hurts, a LOT.
Sorry, no pictures. I have no excuse, there just aren't any. I suck.
