Very nice skills!

 

Thanks!

 

Wow ! Amazing fab work and pretty handy with that torch. I have a question, where did you get those valve cover bolts ? There pretty bitchin'. Good Luck with the rest of the build. Sun's for sure

 

I think you're talking about the valve cover bolts...

Those valve covers are cheaping china. Think you can get them off of ebay for $100. I used 6mmx1mm threaded rod to make longer studs.

You can buy the 1" 6mmx1mm spikes off of ebay too. The only thing that was a little tricky was getting those to seal up. I used grommeted washers. I don't believe you will have problems leaking oil, but I went the extra step just in case.

Below are links to all you'd need.

6mmx1mm spikes - I bought brass ones, which aren't on ebay anymore, but the link below is basically the same thing

Sleeve material - you'll have to make a sleeve to go between the head and the valve cover to space the cover off the head so you don't push out the gasket. I believe the gap needs to be "0.100. The china covers had different bosses in either cover, so the length changed between the two, but i think they were like 3".

1/2" Aluminum NPT bung to weld onto the covers if you want to run a catch can.

can you weld that good when you're sober?

 

Thanks boostedsl2. Yes I meant valve covers, auto correct on my phone changed, or my big thumbs fucked it up. Thanks for the links !

 

lol, yeah. I prefer to have a few beers. It's pretty tedious work and I'm typically pretty impatient.

 

You're welcome. My name is Mike for anyone whose dealing with fat fingers lol. probably a little easier to type than boostedls2.

 

fantastic work sir, i see you are just down the street from me, when might you have this running so that you may achieve burnout status?

 

Thinking about 2 weeks. My buddy that tunes is coming down on the 8th for a couple weeks. Planning on hitting the dyno mid March.

Are you in st pete?
