I know .......... a bra?

Vegas69 02-21-2010 08:52 PM

I didn't do much this weekend. I need an engine. Looks very likely for this coming week. :thumbsup: However I went off the deep end on the brushing. All AC/Heat fittings, air cleaner lid, hose seperators, and both breather catch cans. All sealed and ready to go.

Hey! He's in good shape! He don't need no stickin' bra...

akrapovic 02-22-2010 05:20 PM

Are you running a catch can off of both valve covers?

Vegas69 02-22-2010 05:28 PM

Yep, my new engine builder recommended it and not why you think. It's a matter of crank case air speed. One vent would evacuate the system but the air speed is higher and will carry more oil vapor. I didn't have any issues with the old setup but I only road raced it once. I'd rather it was over kill if anything.

What do you use as a sealer? Matt finish clear?

Vegas69 02-22-2010 05:38 PM

Just Wizards metal sealer.

MarkM66 02-24-2010 09:57 AM

What's the status on the engine? Is it being built?

What oil pan will you be using?

Vegas69 02-24-2010 10:02 AM

Hoping to dyno it still this week. I'll talk to Jason later today but that was the game plan. I'll be running the Milodon road race pan with scraper and windage tray along with a 3 quart accumulator.

waynieZ 02-24-2010 10:27 AM

That will be plenty of oil protection. Did the builder let you know what he's expecting for power numbers?

tones2SS 02-24-2010 03:00 PM

Awesome. Should be killer power and torque numbers.:thumbsup:

Did you ever consider dry sump?

Vegas69 02-24-2010 05:50 PM

Not seriously, it's just to late in the game. That was a decisioin that needed to be made about 2 years ago in the fabrication stage. This will work fine.

DFRESH 02-24-2010 09:29 PM

Impressive as always bro---you are a craftsman for sure.

Vegas69 02-24-2010 09:59 PM

Vegas69 02-24-2010 10:07 PM

monza 02-24-2010 10:14 PM

Nice Bday present! Take some dyno vid for sure.
