Timing is completed. Waiting on a better front deal, didn't like Fel pro design or fit.

Those look like they fit a whole lot better.

All oil gallery plugs are in, include the two on the bottom of the heads. Think it took 14 of them.

Nice progress! I forget if your running different cams, if so did you degree evreything too? That seems intimidating.

If i remember reading on LR recently, there alot of folks which seal off parts of the TF heads with RTV since I hear they can leak in some spots. Don't know much more, but much easier to do that now with no oil in the heads. Might be worth looking into lol

Have a set of stage 1 JDM cams. Gonna see how both run, Jim at JDM said since I want that low end torque with turbos, my factory cams may do better. He offered full refund if he does the dyno and it doesn't improve performance.

They now send you NPT plugs with teflon coating to cover them all. Should be leak free.

Putting the rockers in now and checking clearance. Should have timing cover on tonight. Just need to change seals.

Might have it in the truck tomorrow.
