[Lyfisin]

You're getting new carpet!

[PoorSvtman]

umm no we just had hard wood floors put in.. thats just a rug in the office...focus on the other thing

[PUMP]

How does one focus on something that is out of focus:confused:

if it was focused then you would be able to guess what it is.......

[03LightningRocks]

OK Mike.............you asked for this:rolleyes: .


http://www.svtgalleries.net/gallery/data/500/special.jpg

[PoorSvtman]

you of all people should know what it could be.... you have both of the objects

[True Blue Aggie]

Looks like a roll cage and either a exhaust header manifold bolt or something for nitrous...Close? :D

[PoorSvtman]

not a roll cage..

heres some hints... The first picture has 2 bolts in it


secont pic only has one bolt

[Mark #2]

umm no we just had hard wood floors put in.. thats just a rug in the office...focus on the other thing

How about you "focus" on the other thing and post.

[03LightningRocks]

you of all people should know what it could be.... you have both of the objects

Well then maybe I should catch the yellow bus. I'll be damned if I can figure it out.

Nitrous Kit???

[PoorSvtman]

How about you "focus" on the other thing and post.

what fun would a pic that was focused be?

[Mark #2]

what fun would a pic that was focused be?

I doubt I would know what it is anyway, photos without scale can be very deceiving.

[PoorSvtman]

For those crybabies that cant have some fun with a out of focus picture....

This is the same part from the second pic....

and its not new carpet

[PoorSvtman]

:rolleyes:

come on your supposed to be a engineer....your smart... make a spread sheet or something to narrow it down lol just messing with you:D :beer:

[Mark #2]

Shocks?

[Mark #2]

:rolleyes:

You've heard all the jokes about why women have a hard time being carpenters....it is a 6" scale reference thing.

[liteitup]

camshaft

[wesman]

camshaft

ding ding ding!!!!

--wes

[Mark #2]

So not shocks or cams?
I guess we need more hints with scale photos, then I might start the spreadsheet.;)

[PoorSvtman]

ding ding ding!!!!

Yep cam... now if anybody can guess what the first pic is ill let it all out... wes you cant tell, lol:tu:

[03LightningRocks]

ARP head stud

[Mark #2]

Yep cam... now if anybody can guess what the first pic is ill let it all out... wes you cant tell, lol:tu:

What cams and what kind of HP/Tq are you expecting on stock heads?

[PoorSvtman]

who said stock? take a guess at the first pic and ill let it all out

[03LightningRocks]

I already did doofus.

[03LightningRocks]

ARP head stud


:confused:

[PoorSvtman]

I already did doofus.

Well it has something to do with arp but not a head stud

[03LightningRocks]

who said stock? take a guess at the first pic and ill let it all out


You didn't say I had to guess right. You just said to guess. Now I have one for you.

Which hand???

[PoorSvtman]

Wouldnt happen to be the same hand this kid is using to make that gesture would it:D

[BC Lightning]

It wouldn't happen to "connect" to anything.........would it?? ;)

[Mark #2]

It wouldn't happen to "connect" to anything.........would it?? ;)

Of course... ARP makes head bolts and connecting rod bolts, so a no brainer since it wasn't head studs.

[PoorSvtman]

whats your final guess then arp connecting bolts or a connecting rod?

[Mark #2]

whats your final guess then arp connecting bolts or a connecting rod?

see post later

[PoorSvtman]

i know what arp is... but is your gess a connecting rod bolt or a connecting rod

[Mark #2]

i know what arp is... but is your gess a connecting rod bolt or a connecting rod
Okay I have played along with this thread as we are all apparently really bored, but with the reflections I say connecting rods not bolts.

[PoorSvtman]

yep they are rods..... but if its so boring why keep posting?


But ive been rebuilding my motor for the L... all arp head/mainstuds, cams, ported intake,heads longtubes.......etc etc etc


I lifted a head and well the oil and coolant shooting out i just said screw it and parked it and started to tear it down... guess the "driving" on wharehouse roads and highways" left its toll after 115k miles

[Mark #2]

Well at least the engineer got it finally;)

[03LightningRocks]

Well at least the engineer got it finally;)

Only an engineer could be baited into playing this dumb game for so long :tongue: .


Mike......The answer to the which hand question is....the hand I am going to choke you with...:eek: .


Heck Mike, while you have the heads off....just rebuild the whole darned thing.
Do you plan to go with head studs to help prevent the heads lifting again. I am also curious when it was and how much boost you hit it with to do this. Those heads should not have lifted at the power levels your at. Unless you where getting massive detonation inspired combustion pressures.

So what caused it??? Could you possibly have a similar problem to the one Doug had with his first lightning? If you do...your going to need new heads.


Rocks:postwhore

[PoorSvtman]

its all going to be new from the manley rods/pistons to the gaskets

the reason the head lifted was because ford uses torque to yeild bolts for the head which is dumb on a boosted car... i have pushed my L to the high rpms and in overdrive that othes fear.. i did it alot...

i had a ported blower, 6lb lower, 2.8 upper etc... i just pushed it hard and to the higher levels most are afraid to go....

Excellent on the bottom up build.....knana . It should be sweet.

I didn't realize you where running so much boost. When I was running a ported blower with that pulley combo, I was making as much as 19lbs of boost. That is definnitly enough boost to lift the heads.


Keep us all posted with pics as you go along. It will be fun to watch it happen.


Rocks:bows

[03LightningRocks]

Now for the questions.

Who are you using to P&P the heads? Oh yeah....3 angle valve job????

What compression ratio?

What/who's cams? You may have said already, but I just got off the bus...:D .

I saw you post over at F150 on the spring thread...are you planning to go along with that line of thinking on the springs? Why...or why not?


Rocks:confused:
