About 3/4 turn at 40

Bit over 1/4 turn at 20

ok, xlnt, i just hope they didn't start to strip out at 40 cuz i only said 20.

here ya go

6.825
6.775
6.725

If they don't have those, get these:

6.850
6.800
6.750
6.700

6.825

6.725

They don't carry the .25 increment rods because it would effectively triple there stock holding. I'd have to order them.

If they don't have those, get these:

6.850
6.800
6.750
6.700

So i just added the 6.850 to the order


Will the 0.25 make a huge difference ?

Could only get Trend rods in those sizes, friggin $15-$20 a rod.

Are Trend quality rods ?

Are you attempting to suggest that you actually bought glue and followed my easy to understand 137 step instructions on how to install that?

ummm, by the way, your shiny chrome velocity stacks only make your crappy rusty mufflers and textured shock tower brace look even worse.

Hey, I said your velocity stacks were nice but oh nooo...obviously that's not enough for you . You are starting to sound just like Cait . ohhhh, my boobs aren't big enough.  :lmao:

Yeah right...if it don't go fast at least try and make it look fast .   :thumb:

Brace is coming off to get painted anyway.

They both have a nice Patina  :lol:


What should i do about the Soft Touch rev control ?

Just leave it ? I'll pick up the 6AL in a few weeks.

I don't know how the fuk they have it wired in but the can't won't start unless it's connected..  :shrug:

And under the dash, engine bay is just a horrific cut and shut job on the wiring. Some of the connections look like someone has cut them with there teeth. Instead of using the right connections it's all held together with leco tape

 :lmao:

Fingers crossed rods are here tomorrow.

Hopefully get that pita sorted, order set of rods and get the valves etc done and dusted.

Then fit everything else back on and finish off the interior.

So baring no other complications we could be looking by end of next week firing it up and watching the ass fall out of it.  :lmao: :lmao:

Xln't, blame shaun .  :lmao:

That's ok, you they don't come with instructions so it wouldn't have helped you anyway.  :lmao:

You will likely be just as close using my scientifically dummy approved method anyway, so stop your whining . You sound just like Cait when it runs out of Tampons .  :lmao:
