Re: PO has me PO'd
Thanks Guys, more eye candy, but first FUBAR
Took the head out of the box to paint, got going on the coating and something didn't seem right. It was the machining on the v/c mounting surface!!! The angle was wrong, and to correct it, they remachined it at the proper angle and relief cut half of the v/c mounting hole boss....afreakin'mazing from GMPP! So, my call goes out to Jeg's customer service, not another one in stock, crap! Her supplier is 5 days BO, but she pulls the ace of spades out of the deck and says " SUMMIT has it in stock " I wanted to reach thru the phone and kiss her, yesterday the head arrives Gotta send this girl some flowers

Mike, gotta get back to you on part numbers...congrats on the Masters first attempt on the flange removal was a bandsaw, to get most of the meat off. Then some creative grinding, couldn't find my hub nut removal thingy, so I just used the cutoff wheel. It got into some tight spots, so it worked out. Don't use it without the guard!!! Studs had to be chased, junk part that needed extra work! A little anti-seize, a coat of Eastwoods Stainless Steel coating and I will be good to go

Re: PO has me PO'd
Got an hour or two to work on my fuel line over the weekend
  IMHO, GMPP got this one wrong, 1/8" gap between intake runners and heads.Intake bolts up, just doesn't cover the intake ports...gotta buy another intake

Re: PO has me PO'd
That's amazing to me. Is there going to be an intake out there that does cover those gaps?

Re: PO has me PO'd
Those heads appear to be the Vortec style bolt pattern with the taller intake ports.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Man, that engine looks like it belongs in the space shuttle!! Looks good Jim. Sorry the intake isn't going to work. I hope to start driving mine before the summer is over up here. Just gotta get this dang A/C figured out.

If I understand this correctly, they weren't the heads you wanted in the first place but you installed them anyway?? You won't have to worry about lack of low end torque with vortec heads. They only have 170cc intake runners, and with the taller ports they have a better short turn radius. They make gobs of torque. They are actually a much better choice than the standard port heads you initially wanted. |

Re: PO has me PO'd
AHHHHH, now I see. Didn't realize that was one of the differences with the Vortecs. I'm not as amazed now...
I can see your frustration, though. If it were me, I'd probably get a SCREAMING deal from Jegs on the right intake, like their cost plus free shipping. They're going to turn around and get the money back out of GMPP anyway...
