Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime

I've got the motor out of the truck and stripped down to the rotating assembly. I sent one head to Hairy Heads in Ohio to see if they might find some power in them. I found that I have a piston to valve issue on the right bank due to piston rock. I will fix that without taking the short block apart. The motor leaked down 3% on 6 holes and 4% on 2 that is very good especially for an aluminum block. I found that it only has 200 lbs of cranking compression so we will grind a cam that will work better to increase compression. I also have fuel delivery issues that have been effecting hp. I need to rebuild my shocks .etc etc etc. Hopefully with the time frame I have I can get all this done and afford it also.
