me and josh where thinking the same thing. then i told him to call atkins to see if there was anything he could do to the motor besides dowel pining it. and b4 josh told him what broke dave told him how it broke, where it broke and told him that he didn't have a t-stat in his motor and just was like
so i would say its T-stat related

Unfortunatly the rear iron is junk now. But don't worry, the porting will insue shortly. What Dan at Atkins was telling Josh, he experianced 20 years ago with some race engines. The coolant in the engine is moving too fast to let everthing heat and cool at the same rate. In a NA engine, it probably would never happen. But that much heat caused by that much boost, bang. I have seen that happen in 12A and S4 13Bs. The S5 and S6 irons are stronger in that area, but is still a possibility.

Hey man. Welcome to the group. If you have a rebuild kit for the carb, I can rebuild it for you. Those Nikki carbs aren't that bad. They look a little intimidating at first, but once you have been through a couple dozen of them you kinda learn a few things
Just give me a PM and I'll see what I can do for you

Engine is built and it spins freely,..always a bonus!! Setting endplay next and then do the rest of the bits to put on it before install later on in the weekend maybe.
All my seals were within spec according to what tools I have here to measure with.

Already ran into an issue I did not think of. Since using the S4T2 rotating assembly I did not think to check the size of the thrust bearings and washers at the counterweight side...They are way different than the FD. Easy fix though. I am headed to my engine parts suppliers house tonight to grab the appropriate front stationary gear for the rotating assembly

Wow it looks nice! What port is that again Dave? Bad memory 
Josh/Dre, any luck with the popo?
Wheels as they are now, this is stripped and polished:
This one is getting its bubble bath as we speak:
Need to go pick up the rest of the sand paper and some clear, then I will be done! Hopefully I can get the machined part a nice mirror polish, and leave the once black the silver matte finish it has now.

Bridge.
here is a builders best investment. Good for at least 300 builds
Hit the lip you want polished with some 400 grit paper, then some 800, and then 1k if desired. Then some Mothers metal polish and BAM, blingin baby!!. On the bling note,.. I have found a paint that gives the exact look of chrome..Mucho Denero though. Any ballers want to try it let me know.

Dave I was talking to a friend and found out that you can NOT use a s6 e shaft with a s4 or s5rotor bearings. Did you use a t11 e shaft?? And the s4-s5 thrush bearing is different. So If you used s4 rotaing assm and s6 e shaft you may have some probloms. Just wandering and hey that motor looks very good.
