Chapter GMW | E30 LS1 (starting on post #1427)

Got the head off. There is some detention on the pistons... The head gasket wasn't bent or broken but the #2 piston looked like it was the problem. Pics to come in the morning.
Frank Smith offered to give me the software to make my own chips and Todd of TCD has the hardware to make the chips. I need a good tune!!!!!!

Pics of the carnage.
-There is some detonation.
-Cyl #1 had a leaky injector for awhile.
-The tune has been super rich.
-I have some port matching todo.
Zipties for the documentation
I will be ordering a cut ring gasket, new arp head studs, exhaust nuts and researching the best exhaust manifold gasket today. Also, I will take the head into the shop to have it inspected then after it checks out I'll get it back to port match everything then send it back to get cleaned up.

Ordered everything on this list under E30 except the head studs and cutring gasket. Also got a new oil temp & pressure gauge with matching sending units.

I definitely will and if they look good I'll sell them for cheap.

My attention has been on my bathroom remodel but that will be wrapped up next week. I'll be port matching the exhaust ports, turbo flange and turbo then taking it back to the machine shop.

Halfway done with the exhaust porting.

Got the exhaust side of the head ported out a ton.
Stock width:
The final width was 49mm. I still had a little of work to do on this one.
In a couple of days I'll get the head back and go from there. I'll be ordering Megasquirt 3 soon and see how all that stuff works...here goes nothing! Snap is helping me out a lot with the MS3x transition.
