Well ran into a snag... the engine only had #30psi on #1 cylinder. Turns out it was a bad valve seat. So the head is at the shop for a full valve job. Should be ready to go in 2 weeks.

Long time since updates but here we go.......

The head is at the shop. Turns out we had a burnt up intake valve that was causing the low cylinder pressure. So its getting a full rebuild and valve job done. As well as upgraded valve springs and the Studs pinned.

More turbo related parts have arrived also. But mainly I am at a standstill until the head comes back from the shop.

Straight form the LC-1's serial data port running Logworks.
