BTW...Grippy I spoke with Kincaid about the Chiller Killer. They haven't yet installed one on a Chev - only Fords so far as they come from factory with SC. Says he's very surprised he hasn't heard from any CHEV Maggie owners to this point as he can't believe the small size of the Maggie I/C vs the Ford one. He offered a decent deal if I wanted to go that route and it seems like an interesting product. Now thats its headed back to the shop, we'll take a closer look at it after cracking the motor open if we still have the IAT prob. R/

even if you you had zero problems to sort out I'd like to see what this setup could do for you/us, it is definitely on my mods to do list

LATEST: did 1400 miles in last 10days...pissing oil all over the place. Before all the miles found small oil pool on top on head covers and on pass side motor mount. After all the miles whole bottom of truck is covered, had to add 2 qrts so far. All the plug heat socks are soaked. Valve covers dont seem to be the prob as the heads are clean above the headers. Drivers side looks like a small head gasket leak...gonna do a leak down test and see if the cylinders have been washed down and my rings are shot (hopefully not or at least its only rings if so 
). Half way thru the mileage the SNOW meth pump went haywire and drowned my engione in fluid stalling the motor...thankfully it didn't hydrolock! 
I'm guessing this is the ultimate reason for the high IAT/low power probs...the scarey part is my builder/installer think we only need to retorq the heads! It'll be headed back to the shop in the next few weeks. I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING BAD I EVER SAID ABOUT ANYTHING AND EVERYBODY - PLS JUST MAKE MY CAR RUN BEFORE I GO BROKE

Looks like rings are washed out...pulling the motor next week...hopefully its not another month but at least it might explain a few probs! Compression test gave us 151-155 on all 8 cyls, but leak down musta been really poor. The beat goes on...

if you haven't bought rings yet, I urge you to contact Rex to get the ring pack he specs from Ackerly & Childs
