After Coating and before Coating.

The piston coating is a "cermet thermal barrier coating" designed for high temperature/pressure applications and is especially suited for piston domes in forced inducted and nitrous motor applications.

Its coming together!

Good Morning All,

Guy and Crew at Rockford Racecraft are getting ready to inspect the block for external flaws.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...07_01_25_2.jpg

They found some flaws that would have to be taken care of before it could be painted.
See the Left Hand side of the block.

We will keep you posted as to whom we choose.

Good Morning All,

Sorry work has really been kicking my butt the last two weeks.
Still working on the truck instead of sleeping.

Guy cleaned up the burs and casting flaws on the block.

The front of the block was pretty nasty. Looks very good now.
Can't wait to paint the block.

Put all the cladding back on the truck. Getting it ready for final Fit.
Only one piece of cladding left to make in Fiberglass.
