So I dragged out my spare slides which I had blocked up 1 hole, and wanted to drill a second hole 3/4 size. Which I did using the Dynojet drill guide. Upon closer inspection;
Yeah so now I need to source another set of slides.
Anyhoo, popped the 48 pilots in, and gave it a crank. Was real difficult to start. Got it going eventually, kept the idle up to around 2k to get it warmed up nicely (needed the thermostat to pop to bleed off the cooling system chock full of new Water Wetter/distilled water). Faffed about for a while, still didn't want to snap to 4k when blipping. Oh and guess what?? The front screw was shut.....
So... running 170/172 mains, 48 pilots, screws at 2 and a bit front and 2.5 and a bit rear. Slides with 1 hole, DJ springs. Hoping the DJ springs will help the slides open quicker to offset the single lift hole. It now idles nice at 1200, snaps real nice to 4k with a full fist blip. Feeling pretty good about it.
Next steps are put the front end back (fairing) back on, take it for a squirt to my welder guy, get the 02 sensor bungs welded in, and I can get the Innovate LM-2 up and running. Hopefully the Flo Commander will be here soon which will help.
And a big thanks to mik-str, sirch, tony.mon, cybercarl, 8541Hawk and many others for documenting your process here and SH forum. Inspiration, and the highly contagious OCMD have led me to this point. Once I get this lot sorted, I have Carrillo rods, stainless valves and upcoming pistons to play with.
Sometimes my posts on here are just spilling thoughts and may come across as ramble, but its my thoughts, and me working through what I have done in my own head. Thanks for your patience
