Sure enough it seems to be a plunger (plungers).

I haven't spent THAT much time doing it, LOL! Does sound fun though. There is a piston and a spring in there. Thats all there should be.

That is the spot just above of where the relieve valve is. Both look the same. All I got out was the spring. I can't get that piston or whatever to move in either of them. But I didn't try real hard because I didn't know if it was supposed to come out.

Get em. With a light I could see that they were hollow on the bottom. A 12mm tap just barely fit in. I was able to just screw it in with my fingers and they pulled right out. I thought there would be a spring on top as well.

Nice! I took my shoulder off at 9:30 last night. Bout 9 hours of cook time. Turned out pretty good. The bark was a little tougher than I wanted but I'm still learning. Meat was delicious though!

Re: 1600 turbo build thread
Damn. I forgot a lot of what I was going to do with this thing! I think I was going to go with a cw 69mm crank, CB unitech rods, stock heads that I will port myself to get the compression ratio where I want it. I will have to look back in this thread to see what cam I was going to use. It was a Web if I remember right.

Getting old isn't for the faint of heart for sure! Wait until you get a bit deeper into the process, that is where the fun begins .

Re: 1600 turbo build thread
Has anyone ever done much cylinder head work? If I use my stock heads it looks like I'm going to need to take 6cc-7cc out of them to get my compression right. Is that possible? I'm a bit concerned because it appears I have to cut the step out of the head when I take it to 94mm so that may cause some big problems. I really have no idea what's going to happen when I do that. I believe I read that a stock head is 54cc chamber but I don't know if that includes the step or not.

Re: 1600 turbo build thread
just find some copper head gaskets/spacers they make diff thicknesses all of my motors run them without issues and don't worry about big deck height either I think my 2276 is running .120 and it scoots

Re: 1600 turbo build thread
Ok I will keep that in mind. Maybe I will do a bit of both. I really just want to get the machine work done on the case at this point. I'm hoping he does it by the weekend.
