Alohas peeps...just a little update. did some tuning Saturday. played with the carbs a little and cleared up that flat spot. runs way better, the float level was off a bit...i still need to fine tune it a lot. mabe this weekend ill take a clear vid. stay tuned.....Alohas

Pulled her out satuday to make a few test passes on my back street after I made some great tuning progress...only running low boost for starters and the power is unbeleavable. But I notice after a few runs a little white smoke coming out of the exaust and a small miss. Pulled the turbo off and look what I found....never seen this one before...haha. I gotta take a closer look to see what happen. Hope nothing major

weird that coolant is in just one pipe and filled to the rim

Oh shit, i hope nothing mayor, but damn water dont compress, hope was just head gasket

[Island Chain Racing]

Yea rite?...the crazy thing is the water didn't mix with the oil at all...I drained the pan an nothing, no water...im thinking the water got pass the multiple layers on the metal head gasket and pass through the 2nd cylender some how,....oh well inspect it, clean her up and back in busness....hope nothing major...oh yea...I just put a hint of coolant just so it don't rust inside the block. Like 10/90...just fyi.....haha

Thats not how to break-in the engine

[Island Chain Racing]

Haha...break in a motor? Never. My theory is you break it in how your gonna drive it....

Well, was finally able to pull the head apart, and look what I found...looks like my 3t has aluminum termites.... anyways..looks to me its from erosion, bad casting or both..so at this point im gonna pull the rest of parts off the head and build another head...on the brite side is I didn't damage anything. Ill be back after I recoup from the holidays....but it still blows....Alohas
