lol don't know why I loaded the pics backwards but anyways the first pic is the last time I worked on it. not that much more to go! should fire it up tomorrow as I got my start up tune this morning from pat then it will be time to data log

 

I was going to say, DAMN what catch can do you have installed! The intake runners looked a little clean!

Nice work. Looks good! Whats your compression with milled 0.035? Just guessing around 11.5:1?

Nick

 

Looks good! Should be a nice cam

 

I'm guessing the compression should be around there not really sure. The cam is basically the little lunati just slight less lift and advanced 1 degree. If you've read what another member dousail2 he has the same cam and his car rips!

 

Mike: Good to see this is finally going in! When did you start?

 

I started last Sunday working on it as much as I could after work. But is difficult cause the car is at my buddies house and I have to bring my tools home all the time to work on it so it is taking forever it seems like lol. Hope tomorrow if I get enough time it should run

 

Post 1/4 times when you're done! Rick's cams seem to be making awesome numbers, when tuned correctly.

 

Looks real good everything coming together, what gaskets did u use for the milled heads

 

Cant wait to get my cam and heads from rick...

good job!

 

Cool pictures, fun process and I feel your pain on the lugging tools around piece. I did this two summers ago on my gto...painful and you come home so tired every night. I'd be curious to see this bad boy in person come warmer weather. I'm sure I will be craving cam/heads by spring. I told myself cai/headers/tune for now...

 

You can come check it out whenever you want. It's running pretty well right now with just the start up tune pat sent me. I'm going to data log it and send him the files so he can make the correct adjustments. but for a startup tune it runs pretty well

 

looking good, nice documentation for the rest of us

 

I know exactly what you mean about the oil pickup tube bolt!!! that one damn bolt took me at least a hour and i think it also gave me a few grey hairs..

 

yea that bolt is the worst. I just loosened the oil pan and dropped it down just enough to beable to spin it out and back in. I lubed the oil pump o-ring really well and took the oil pump apart so I can watch it go in nice and easy. the car is rather easy to work on as im a tech by trade but I work on Hondas all day at the dealership lol so its fun to work on something fun for once lol.

 

i did it exactly the same way..it was the only way i could get my hand in there enough to get it started..

 

Do you have a video?
