Thanks buddy. I'm wondering if the battery being dead and the old spark plugs might have anything to do with the misfires. The spark plugs looked good so I reused them, the battery was just useless.

Hmm the alternator should keep the system voltage up. Just hearing the video sounded like the rings seating. In my mind. It actualy sounded kinda cool sitting there loping.lol

Thanks buddy! I figured this thread got kind of depressing with Steve's last few posts... Time to lighten up the mood with some good news.

Good to hear that Steve is pressing onward with the build!!
I still stand by what I said, that cylinder pressure from power alone didn't bend the rods. Cylinder pressure is however amplified greatly when there is way too much fuel in the cylinders, as everyone knows.
And Ive said it before as well. Going back to discussion on the last 2 pages. If we lost E85 where I live my car would be sold so fast it wouldn't know what hit it. But thats just my take on things.

That and it would affect every cylinder..
Steve i spoke with the failure analysis guy at work that deals with stuff like this and worked for ford for 10+ years
He said eather the injector stuck wide open or a valve hit the piston. Ill call u later about it.

Question about the TVS boost valve.
There is a vacuum line going from the valve to the TVS. The line going from the boost solenoid should go into the valve like the M62, but there is no nipple for it.
Do I have the wrong valve on the TVS or did I screw up the vacuum line routing
