Alex L. Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 It definitely takes longer than a regular bead, but when all's said and done I have a piece that's different than everyone else's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I work around a lot of welders that are working with stainless and aluminum that make really good money. Looks like you would fit right in. Looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10phone2 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 alex, what are you running for springs and cams? I'm considering the GSC beehives, but I'm still up in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10phone2 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Shimless is on the list. Since I have the engine apart I may as well. Luckily the supraforums and supramania has alot of info on it. Edited January 28, 2013 by 10phone2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

integranator Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Are you backpurging ? Any shots of penetration in the dp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Downpipe wasn't purged as I didn't have a good way to hold the hose. Everything else that's stainless is purged, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else that's stainless is purged, however. Just run tape around the ends of the DP, poke a hole in the tape and run your gas thru it, then tape around the hose. Problem solved.
