Re: AjL227's XP, S2 IC, 2.8" CompG build
Block and heads have been primer'd and painted black. Block is ARP studded, and Cometic MLS .052" gasket'd for the 'qwik' ported heads. Rollmaster double roller timing set has been machined to fit the US 3800 crank keyway, and is installed. Balance shaft has been removed, will be JB welding the oiling for it, once the flex plate and rear cover come off.

Re: AjL227's XP, S2 IC, 2.8" CompG build
looking damn good. What did you use to paint the heads/block? Just high heat engine paint?
BTW the pistons and bores looks great.
Re: AjL227's XP, S2 IC, 2.8" CompG build
If i were you, i wouldnt leave the life blood of your engine up to JB weld.
I'd leave the balance shaft in but leave the gear off of it.
Re: AjL227's XP, S2 IC, 2.8" CompG build
thats what Im debating...
since its all apart, im probably going to get a 440 cam bearing, and rotate it 180 out, and have it pressed in..
Then again i get lazy and could just leave the gear off...
Re: AjL227's XP, S2 IC, 2.8" CompG build
please god dont put jb weld in there. other then that looks great. i cant wait to see some numbers off of it
Re: AjL227's XP, S2 IC, 2.8" CompG build
A machine shop is going to have to block off that port...you can't just JB Weld it. The bad part about that is...they have to have the block totally apart since they have to blast out the oil ports with a cleaner.
Re: AjL227's XP, S2 IC, 2.8" CompG build
where would i get the 440 cam bearing and anyone got a part number off it?

Looking damn good. Supercharger looks right sitting another 5 feet higher with that Intercooler under it XD.
Really like the new sub-frame too, and having everything clean =]
Now..is that a crack along the edge of the tranny mount???
And like matt asked....what is the green stuff??
Re: AjL227's XP, S2 IC, 2.8" CompG build
Damn that looks awesome. Really like the billet dog bones.

70W racing oil containing zinc and other essential engine rebuilding elements.
Re: AjL227's XP, S2 IC, 2.8" CompG build
Looks good.
Is that ARP assembly lube all over your cam shaft? :eek:
You install your new oil pan gasket dry, or did you add RTV on either side of it?
~F~

Yes, that is ARP assembly lube on the XP. The oil pan gasket was RTV'd all the way around, after the windage tray was modified to allow more oil return to the sump.

Car has been up and running for a week now, since the 8th.
I've been data-logging and editing with HPTuners, since.
Here is a much anticipated idle video...
