Hey yall sorry for the long absence. I've been busy but heres a summary of what Ive been up too. Ill give more details later.
This summer I rebuilt the engine. Long story short the pistons and valves made sweet love and I lost all compression.
I rebuilt the motor by myself except for the machine work. The block was bored .030 over to eliminate the taper but all the other bearings are normal sized. the pistons were fly cut to give me valve clearance.
I drilled out the 4 corner coolant cups to give better cooling in the head and used a 6.9L head gasket.
I installed a '93 factory turbo kit and used head studs when assembling the engine.
Originally I had a Typ4 cam(206 degrees) but that was a factor in blowing up the engine so I am now running a 202 cam.
I have about 5,000 miles since the rebuild and she is running great!!
More to come later( and maybe some pics too)
