            Got the exhaust side of the head ported out a ton.

            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.

                              I want to stay on pump gas.  I do have some bits for meth injection but haven't fully pulled the trigger on it.  I also have a rally road billet fuel rail that is collecting dust in the garage too. 

                              I also got a brand new OEM S54 oil filter housing.  Thinking of running the VAC A/N fitting bolt on and running an oil cooler.  Seemed to be the cheapest option with my limited research.

                                I can help with ms3 where needed, though I still think you should make a harness instead of using the old one ;) 
                                How much did the new housing run ya if you don't mind sharing?
                                I assume you got ms3x ?
                                Yay for more tuning goodness!

                                  $300 for the housing if i remember correctly with my discount.

                                  I did get MS3x.

                                  I'll try to give my harness a whirl and go from there.  I'm just thinking that wire is wire and if it works it works

                                      Don't tempt me with that!  Snap's phone is going through batteries like I go through head gaskets at the moment.

                                          Just talked to the machines and my #2 valve seal was turned inside out causing oil to leak in the #2 seal. I was super worried that it my be piston rings.

                                          He also checked my blunt tech manifold for straightness and it was off .060 and he doesn't have the right jig to mill it down.

                                          My head has been milled down to the maximum. 5.500" total thickness. It's a new head if this one goes... Come on Megasquirt!

                                          All new valve seals have been installed and no valves were bent!
