The car has been running since last summer with EDIS. Coil packs are mounted on the drivers fender where the useless brake booster once sat...

I've got about 40 titanium valves already so that was my incentive to look at that possibility. There are places that will cut them down to size. The question there is the economics of getting them cut vs buying correctly sized stainless ones...

I'd rather not pull the block apart or out at this point. For this year anyways, the basic head rebuild and cam will be it. I realize the pistons sit a ways down the hole. The block will have to do as is for now. Perhaps when I'm prepping for the M62 I'll look at pulling the block out. I'd love to go with some JVAB stuff but I'm not sure it'll be in the budget. Still working out details there and I've got a couple of year sto do it so things may change drastically...

I've got three IPD o/s head gaskets sitting on a shelf in the garage so I'm relatively well prepared that way.
