    intercooler retrofit

    Would it work to cut a hole and weld a pipe fitting onto the existing spider, or is there more to it? $400.00 for a spider is crazy-mad-retarded.

    oil in fuel... injectors... O-rings

    Awaiting proper GP fitting to get more accurate compression reading before i build on. my home made fitting i could only thread a couple turns into the motor and i only got a compression reading of 360 - 370# on all 8. hope i'll get better reading with a better fitting adaptor.
