Janksun Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Back at shop today for more work. And a little preview. Just mocked up in pic. That motor looks fuckin tits!! Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Thanks!! So I spent all morning and early afternoon driving around looking for fittings fir the fuel system. Mostly a tee for the pressure gauge. The gauge has an 1/8 in. Fitting but the fuel pump and regulator have 3/8 in. Fittings so I needed n adapter. Started out with this monstrosity Then found a single adapter and looks a lot better Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 wow L motors are die hards no proper oil and it lived where did the flat tops come from is that an L16 never m,ind I looked back at the freshly painted motor and it is clearly an L16 and flat tops are not stock Yea that's what I said. Starved of oil and still going. Love these L engines. The flat tops where in there already. Just cleaned them up. This engine was already rebuilt once it seems so I guess the PO put them in. What was stock on L16's? Do flat tops give you moar power? Higher compression? Quote Link to comment
