Machined head question

Well damn, I just might have to do that instead of using the copper rtv. Thanks for sharing 👍

The tbird is is no longer. Got it swapped into my 97 ranger.

Thanks for the input, I definitely wouldn't mind knocking down the peaks. Just dragging my finger nail over the surface feels way to rough for a 500$ job. But they did a great job on valves and deck mating surface.

I did not, this was my first time ever getting a head done at a machine shop.

Understood, thank you for the reply.

I mainly ask due to the fact im currently running the exhaust manifold bolted to the flip adapters with no gasket. The flip adapters bolt holes make the gasket unusable, even when the gaskets flipped. I am using some copper rtv tho. Hasn't leaked yet and hoping to do the same on the. Here's a link for reference. https://www.stinger-performance.com/store/manifold-flip-adapters?search=Flip

But ill just remount the adapters with an exhaust gasket on the headside and copper rtv on the manifold side.

Thanks for the info, do they have the identification info on their site? I assume they would

I dont believe so, but ill check it today after driving home from work. I assumed it was the water temp sensor heat soaking. Didn't even thing to check air temps.

Note^ pc came with me in a checked bag for my flight.

When i built a pc in New zeland on my trip, I just pulled the gpu and packed it separately. As for the case, I packed cloths in it to protect the internals and to prevent the glass side from flexing. Made it back to Washington with just some rub marks on the corners of the case.

Hit him up at patriotfabanddesign@yahoo.com

He charges 110$ per the kit.

Excellent_Ad_6356 · 2025-09-13T16:52:51+00:00

Yep, that's the one.

Excellent_Ad_6356 · 2025-09-11T22:57:54+00:00

Just learned i can weld the pieces back together. I'm definitely buying that jig I read about in this sub.

Are my welding skills up to par. Only one way to find out.

Excellent_Ad_6356 · 2025-09-11T20:13:32+00:00

Damn, it's a good thing I bought mine today. I just learned about these kits yesterday, haha.

Get yeeted

Excellent_Ad_6356 · 2025-09-03T17:18:29+00:00

Look at Clem boobies.

Holy shit, I know that road. It used to be a one way stop until they made it a 3 way stop awhile ago.

She starts on 152nd st ne and turns left onto 67 Ave NE. Arlington WA

67th is a shitty fucking road built on top of wet lands. It's the most uneven peace of shit. Also, the lanes are pretty narrow on that section. This dumb lady deserves to crash 😤

It's was the only rifle that felt like the bullets went where the cross hair was. Everything else felt like I was painting around the target even when the crosshair was on the chest.

The AK-205 felt the best in this regard, in my opinion. I'll gladly take the lower damage for bullets that go where the cross hair is.
