now where's that damn ups truck? let's see what brown can do for me.
Do you think you might be lifting a head gasket and pressurizing the coolant? Or was it just loose from last time you worked on it? I hope it's the latter.

I'll go ahead and think it's the latter, but probably the former.

Don @Dez Racing just said the same **** to me yesterday. Oh, and the pinning kit worked like a charm. Took all of 45min.

not tuned by don yet, well, sorta. It's a combination of Nelson tune, dez tune, wait4me tune, radix tune, and my own tuning. lol. Don totally made my life easier by answering a simple question over the phone a few months ago about ltrims. Thank god. I'm going down to Dez SOON for a few dyno runs and maybe some fine tuning I hope. The pinning kit is simple. check out the post by ryansilverado23 i think his name is. the dude with the whipple on 12lbs boost and a custom intercooler. his post has pics

damn 45 min?? I thought it was a big ordeal. I wasnt going to bother, but if its that cheap and easy I may do it on this motor until the new one is in. Do you have a link by chance?

just do a search on here for "crank pinning" i think. You should find it, make sure you use the "

there are pics and part numbers. Then just call magnacharger and order it. You will need a compressor and impact wrench, but otherwise, it's a snap. I was scared to do it too. Not anymore. VERY EASY
