Yes we need yours running!! I've told ya before I'll gladly help you wrench in any way I can to get you rolling! I told Ronnie to tell ya my friend ordered a few extra sets of head studs and is selling them for a fair price! Once mine is setup I'm gonna have to start stopping by daily pestering you to start tearing your shit down let's just boost the stock block you have in the shop! I'll even help ya tune it or sit down with tony @ ums and help him out :P

You could not pay me to sink all that time and money on that pile. However, when you are done I am opening a shop called @FA20Club2 . I can do your tuning for you or my new associate I just hired, @Vishconti

Holy hell its been a busy 2 weeks... Finally got a new cam in & a few other misc valvetrain replacements. Hoping to finish assembly this week and install this weekend but may have to go out of town and push it off to mid next week. Looks like my turbo kit is pretty much finished and ready to go on next week. Lots of pics to come

That's awesome news bro!!!!

As per usual I had more delays... Work has been hell. The driver side head should be assembled tomorrow. I stopped by JDL today to talk about random bits, looks like my kit is all done. (and has been for a bit now). I need to sell off my current fuel system and buy a new set of injectors & fullblown walbro kit.

The rough part is I have started to lose any desire to work on the car. The Arizona heat is starting to come in and the minor memory of the joy the car once brought me (before it was supercharged and plagued with issues due to tuning issues) is slowly fading.

Today is day 146 of my car being on jack stands. *sigh*.

Trust me I know how you feel. I had several projects in the past and dealt with the lame long waiting game. Hang in there Nelsmar! You're almost there!

Stick with it man. When you are about to quit just think about @Frs300 and how long he waited and you will feel better about your situation, haha.

That damaged cam picture looks like it may have had a lack of lubrication? Looks like it had some bluish marks on it?

I am doing a small write up about some of your feelings today, about my weekend in the garage. Shit gets old, and the returns aint worth it sometimes namely when you have a career etc.

If you don't enjoy the weekend working in the garage, then I agree that the returns might not be worth it. I generally get more enjoyment from the process than the returns.

More like... When all you do is wait for parts in the mail the project isn't fun. When it comes to actually working on the car? Thats fun. That is why i have been losing the desire. Because its just been endless waiting!
