My "In Germany" build thread

Oh..... How I have missed my race tune...

...

I realized when I was cleaning up I forgot to transfer the spacers to the new rockers.. Guess my block was tapped deep enough to not need them..

Time to take it on the autobahn. Lol

I plan on taking it to what the Germans call race wars this year. They shut down an airstrip and drag race all weekend long.

A lot of it translated on it's own. Which is good because I don't know much in German. But it looks like a good time for sure.

To be honest I have not really checked my old lifters or rockers...What should i look for on the lifters and rockers to see if they are still good?

I wanted to but they don't allow painting inside the bays..

Glad to see it up and going!

How much gain an I going to get from a studded tune? I'm more concerned with having a reliable truck then power monster.

Some lifters get chewed up, it would be noticeable.

I never noticed much of a difference between studded and not studded. Maybe 30hp

I didnt figure it was worth the higher cylinder pressure.. Or cost of a new tune. Maybe when I get my turbo and Injectors.

I'll take a look at them when I get home and let you know... I was surprised with how well everything looked inside my engine... Did not look like 185k miles.

The one on the left looks the worst out of all of them..

I honestly don't think they needed replacing but I'm glad I did it. All my rockers looked good to.. But it's all new now.

I'll be honest it is annoying, I thought about taking it out.

Could someone please explain to me why you have pressure in the coolant? And what's a normal amount of pressure for a 6.0?
