GunMetalGrey Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'm conflicted. .0015 is practically nothing, but I get your concern. I would give it a pass with 600 grit to see if any high and low spots show themselves and go from there I guess. I can confirm that the head gasket that you and I use squishes a lot, so it should have no issue with a .0015 variance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will probably add a reenforcement to the other side using the diff cover mounting holes as the diff mounting points.

DrLeadFoot Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 ? What about your diff that you had built? It's sitting in my garage in the box that it came in. Going to pop that in after I put the cover on and fill it with fluid. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Between new tires and the diff im thinking you need to keep some pepto chewables in the car so peoples stomachs dont end up on the dashboard from that insane acceleration DrLeadFoot and Jeff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 A little progress was made. I'll update with pics tomorrow. - Head is torqued down to 35 ft/lbs. I'll recheck and go to 65 ft/lbs if they hold at 35 for the night. - Intake manifold is tapped and drilled for multi-port meth injection. - Mounted the distribution block and ran the 6 lines to the jet fittings. - Broke one jet from over tightening it. Sometimes I'd like not to learn anything new... - Picked up my diff cover and output shafts from Snap. I'm planning on getting the new diff in tomorrow morning.
