Once you have the pic on your screen right click on it and go to properties. Copy the ENTIRE URL in put it inside the img commands

like this [img]http://members.***.net/jimrhit/crap.gif /img

BTW I intentionally left out the last imgs bracket or it would just show a red X

Funny how with so many engine builds going on at once......engine building has become a bit old-school...LOL...almost like a thread about exhuast or air filters or something.

LOL..if only it were true!!

I think many of us are quietly standing by and waiting to see the finished product now! When your cars are complete and all the fine tuning completed then I think the next wave of interest will happen. I think everyone was really interested in the parts list and the reason behind those choices. Especially things like which compression piston you chose. Believe me when my budget allows...I will select one or two of you...and kindly ask to pick your brain in detail! I'd do it now but since I don't have the money to act...well...it's like a dry hump

i'm gonna put 300-400 miles on my car in a week, as long as i'm not burning oil (giving some confirmation that the motor is "broken in")...i'll plan on the dyno tuning to take place a week or so after my car is running...i know this is quick..there are SO many schools of thought here..no one knows for sure...
some guys say, start it up, idle 20 min, change the oil, then dyno progressively harder runs..the same day!!!
some say drive 1000 miles like miss daisy...some say 500
some say as long as the oil consumption decreases considerably or stops, the rings have sealed...
i'm gonna kinda compromise somewhere in the middle here.
i plan on dynoing to about 450rwhp a week or so after the build up, then when more updates come out with all u other guys out there, i'll retune to 550-600rwhp
that's my plan

Sounds good Todd...cant wait till you get that thing running again.

Take it easy on the dyno until you get that sheilded crank angle sensor wire. The more I think about it...the more I am thinking that a faulty timing signal really f'ed up a bunch of engines. OK?
