Glad to hear nothing's seriously wrong. My shoulders have been getting better since I've been doing easier work. I work in a UPS feeder hub, semi trailers only, need I say more? lol.

 

That's certainly some work! I'm relieved as well. Surgery wasn't something I want to experience.

 

Yeah it is, it's only 4-5 hours during the evening but you're working pretty fast the entire time.


One thing I noticed with the carpet kit is it's a little quieter on the highway and the floor is closer to the pedals which is nice.

 

Well I finally painted and installed my valance I had purchased almost two years ago. I had done filler work to it and had it primed and wet sanded but never got around to painting it until last night. Installed it tonight. All I have left on the to do list before winter is re seal the cowl to help make the cab more water tight this winter and fix the sagging headliner.

 

Just a sneak preview of what's to come

 

Working all the time seems to make for many truck goodies Matthew.

Are you going with the Scorpion rockers, or something else?

 

When I did my cam swap 3 years ago I installed a set of Comp cams Magnum series roller tip rockers, I'm just going to transfer those.

 

Looking good!

 

Sounds good!

What is the chamber volume of your new heads?

 

60 CC. Based on stock specs I should get 9.29:1 at minimum and if the block has been decked and has flat top pistons I should get about 9.7:1 at the max.








That's some precision out of the box! the gasket is a Felpro 1250S3.

 

Put my new heads on today. Worked for 11 hours straight. Got the tuning stuff and rocker arm readjustment to do tomorrow.

 

mmmmm filthy those heads are good bang per dollar

 

That they are. I gladly accept donations

 

Installed my new rocker arms, got rid of those POS roller tip rockers. Also got new pushrods and valve covers.

 

Looks great, Matthew. Glad you got the noise resolved.
