If u guys saw how much salt is in the air driving down a1a on east coast Florida and how much stuff gets rusty.... I put a padlock on my trailer hitch and it was solid rust in about 3 weeks. You would have done it inside too!!! Wives and space permitting of course!

Congrats!! Love seeing more S54 builds on here, looking forward to your full writeup. Smart move on the indoor build. Lesson learned from one of my early builds was temperature also makes a huge difference in the tolerances. I built one over the cold winter in my garage and regretted it...Comment

Yeah for sure. Some of the engine shops were doing a lot of the sizing/measuring work in the morning for the lower temperatureComment

Leakdown numbers on hot engine after break in were 1-6: 4 6 8 5 5 4. Not terrible, not race engine shop numbers. Langs website claimes 2-3% on all cylinders. I was led to believe that after my dyno runs that more ring seal could come in the next 100 miles and doing lots of engine braking, but other articles ive read suggest ring seal is done after the initial hard pulls to max power. Cylinder 3 worries me a bit, and i definitely heard a hiss from the tailpipe with that one....it is a fully rebuilt stage 3 head with new valves seats and seals. Any ideas?Comment
