my trip to Beau/blacksi's work......(lots of pics)
 

Beau calls me for some parts, and tells me that the ZC isnt is so good of shape ::) and asks me to swing on by to keep him company (ie help him out)...

yeah one bent rod, 'notched' block ::), two pistons with broken ringlands...so thats pretty fucked...

so Beau ordered up some new rings, bearings, headgasket...etc to rebuild it. hones the cylinders too..
wait he broke two pistons and bent a rod? so whats he throwing in? yeah... A6 pistons and i think A6 rods... which should be around 8:1 CR

That sucks about the ZC, I'd like to see what happens when he gets her all back together again. Does he need A6 rods/pistons, or does he already have them? Keep us posted! ;D

Re:my trip to Beau/blacksi's work......(lots of pics)

I agree, it's very sexy. Looks like one of those really expensive sidewinder manifolds. You should start up your own fabrication company and call it www.beaufab.com ;D

How much boost have you been running in joe dirt?

Re:my trip to Beau/blacksi's work......(lots of pics)
 

10-12lbs but this really cool ::) edit im running cuts out at 9lbs then bucks the whole car really hard then pulls again the engine started knocking right after one of those little episodes
