Torqstorm.. let's see how it does
Engine is back together. Had the heads surfaced locally, luckily they did well. Checked the deck surface and cleaned meticulously.
Added some sce titan ics copper gaskets.
Retorqued the heads after initial heat cycle and added water. No water leaks (thank god).
First drives show the car back to normal, no weird overheating or anything.
I was able to make it to the last track day of the year, this time on e85. Now I know the problems with this e85 carb. I should have it dialed by spring. Maybe earlier if I'm lucky and take it down the sea level, that would be fun.
