Hey why not just buy an engine overhaul kit while you at it Jake? I mean after all you do plan removing the engine right?

Do a Melling if tearing stuff up. Four or five bolts. Fresh front main seal and block to LPOP seal.

Well everything I do on this thread is again, for the benefit of the readers so I might just order that engine rebuild and LPOP

How are you liking the new tires now that you've had them a day or so.

Did you have to adjust your speedo?

Haven't adjusted the speedo yet. Today was the first real drive with them, but I want to play around with the air pressure. I'm currently at 65 psi, and they feel more vague and seem to float a little more. However they are bigger and wider so I knew they weren't going to ride like the old crap Ironman 31s.

That being said they do ride much smoother and is much more pleasant overall. RPMs are down about 1-200 rpms from what I can tell. They seem quieter as well.

They're rated for 80 PSI cold, might try 70 PSI and see if it helps. though it's not bad as it is, I know I would really benefit from a rebuilt steering box and new borg steering shaft, new tie rod ends, etc. The list goes on. Again, everything I post is for the benefit of the readers.

You could always swap to the SD tie rods. I hear they're beefier. I have heard good things about a new gearbox

I've thought about that sizing specifically, now that I'm living at 5k ft. I picked up a. 83 AR housing for the 68mm turbine, so it'll either be the 362 or 363. Leaning towards the 363 since the compressor on the 362 is really a 61.4 instead of a true 62mm.
