sometimes I get beer delivered to my garage. Of course then I have to play the bill later on...but at least it delivered.

Some nights not much goes on, just lots of good olde planning, thinking...and abit of talking. One night I think we had around 20-30 turbos laying inside my garage. I had to hide the turbos, we couldn't work to long without thinking about all the different configurations that we could try. I think we even talked tater into twins that night. Mr hard core single turbo #2 fuel only guy....

My studs are in, still waiting for everyone to come together for the injector group buy. Plus i got to meet up with a guy for the he351. Then hopefully i can get everything installed shortly after

Nice work getting your studs installed. You're much faster than I am.

As Daniela found out, I'm not much of a beer drinker when it's my truck that's being worked on!
She generously brought beer (& wine) & I didn't even have one!

What shift are you on? I'll likely be on nights once the shutdown starts, hoping to be there for prejob. Gonna stay in Stettler again. There is FA in Forestburg, in case you haven't been there before.

If a guy was going to do one stud at a time, should we install them in a cold or hot engine block? Thanks

Cool engine. The studs might be hot to touch. Other than I wouldn't worry about it. I remember pulling injectors out and they were still smoke coming out of the tip. Man those babies were hot, hot, hot...

Jamie, you run the 625's as well?
