Was on my way to school and almost made it to my over pass and the truck died. Now it just cranks over and over and over no sputter or anything. I swapped in my spare PMD and that did nothing I checked to make sure lift pump is running and it's vibrating when I put my hand on it. The wierd thing...

As i progress with my engine build i decided to go do some porting on my heads since this is a test engine for me. I read lots of people doing it but dident find any pictures of before and after. So i snapped some photos of my project for anyone else who might be pondering this mod with out...
So I have been waiting for scat to get some crank shafts in for the past 3 weeks and was told this would have some around this time. So I email them yesterday asking if they had them yet. The reply was "yes we did get some in, but sold them all should have some in later November" The sad thing...
