[QUOTE="98cobra#1222, post: 15411344, member: 125489"] Not yet... It's been an eventful couple of months that doesn't seem to be over. Had my initial dyno appointment on the 13th of July which I made it to without issue until I started the car and Lee stated the car sounded low on compression. Talk about a punch in the gut after all the work over these 3 and a half years. So we ran a compression test and sure enough not only were some low there were 3 that were zero. So out came the engine to go back to the builder. He found there were a couple ( I think three) valves that were just long enough to hang open due to tolerance stack up with the lifter and follower. The valves are SS Manley valves that are apparently on the long side so that you can run a wider variety of cams, Idk this was all new to me as I assumed they would be in spec. Well my engine builder recut all the valves to hit the middle of spec and put the engine back together then leak-down tested it for be sure we fixed the issue and the leakdown numbers were 2-3% so the engine is good to go now. So that brings me to today where the car is all back together with my new tune appointment being the 26th of this month. However I have a persistant drip out of my coolant crossover delete (one of the fittings) that I can't seem to fix. I've re-assembled the fitting, replaced it, checked everything and still it drips like one drip every 5-10 seconds when the cooling system is up to temp and has pressure on it. So now I need to call summit and try to get replacement fittings for the one that is leaking or rip all of it out and put new lines and fittings throughout. Which I would rather not due since those things are pricey lol... Anyway sorry for the lack of updates on this thread, it's just been a roller coaster of a year with this car and my stress levels with it are about tapped out so I haven't spent much time on here.
