Odd, maybe a different browser? Got just over 12 gallons of e85 7.7 miles from home.

70 miles, all is well so far.... View: https://vimeo.com/1085462421?share=copy After a 20 minute drive. Ambient was 65, 118 seems high on the IAT

99.9% done! Engine cover caps came from London, insane 90 was a "good" price!

It's aliveeeeeee! View: https://vimeo.com/1084811175?share=copy Needs a new tune & to be revved to 2k to get the lifters full of oil. Smoke is from the oil from the old motor in the exhaust. View: https://vimeo.com/1084842024?share=copy This smoke is a piece of rubber that was on the AC...

It's done, apparently I did too good a job draining the gas, to get ready for e85, it wont start because it's empty. lol

Lower coolant hose, coolant & S54 oil cooler line at the filter housing (which is a massive hassle to get lined up) are all that is left.

Thanks, the procedure was successful.

Moving slowly, lots of difficulties are happening. I'm taking care of my wife who had a dual mastectomy in early April and needs another procedure tomorrow because one side is infected, & "normal" insomnia our shepherd has epilespy, Saturday night in a deep sleep he had a series of seizures...

Progress.

Moving forward.

Even with "total access" installing headers sucks.

Lower compression (9.1) e85 and water/meth injection to lower combustion chamber temps. My Wife is at the end of her rope. This is it. If it fails, it gets an eBay motor and goes.

Anyone want a lightly used forged pencil holder? Here is one of the JE 9.01's in it's burrow.

Here's where my morning has gone so far...

It's home.

I'll be going to get the motor tomorrow!

Moving forward again!

New block & head picked up by the builder, he will assemble it this weekend.

Head will be ready tomorrow, block Monday or Tuesday, I got lucky, he found one for 350. Water and methanol starting to go in. Tapped the intake elbow for the injection nozzle. Based the location on the only picture from the elbow's perspective I had. Test fit the pump & reservoir.

Builder is working on an e46 M3, it's S54 melted 1&6
