Thanks, I hadn't thought if that :-p

That sounds like a pain in the dick.

I should price an IP. Could be a good flip if that's all it needs.


Oooor ignore it



Yes swapping a head is a pain in the dick without a damn doubt. Probably about as much of a pain as swapping like 23 injection lines so far.

brobably not nearly what it was to swap the cam

I think its time to swap in a CAT

about same total work as cam, I'd say. head bolts are a pain, all hot side stuff instead of rad/intercooler/condensor and cold side/ injectior stuff.

full set of .078" lines will be on its way in a couple days. $0.

Glad I was able to get that - and no caveats. I've got to say, this is a shitty issue but I really feel like they're treating me fucking awesome. They've lost their ass on the sale several times over and keep treating me well.

He said I'm the only one splitting these new lines like this; thinks there's something restricting flow. Apparently the crossover tubes that feed the injectors have an "edge filter" on them that could potentially be plugged.  I'll look for that when I do the injectors. Now that I know lines are on the way I won't be shy about tearing the truck apart and doing what I plan to do there

- swap injectors
- check/ set timing
- check/ set valve lash

Thankfully, essentially zero extra effort on this line swap since they've got to come off to do injectors anyway.

Fuel lines pulled after a tiny bit of cleanup, and mowing. Then it was dark and the skeeters were carrying me away.

[etk300ex]

The darkness is arriving earlier :/

[mr.mindless]

Yeah. Noticeably. Sad... Maybe we can get an early freeze and then I won't care as much.

[mr.mindless]

Lines just got here. That was quick.

[mr.mindless]

80% done. Just test fired it. Injectors installed, timing checked (at 13.7* or so - a bit mild but I think that's where I set it; not far enough from where I want it to bother), valve lash set.

Just need to clamp lines and put the intake back on.

I want a minion to put my tools away and package & ship exchanges/ cores.

Done, otherwise.
