Heres a pic of the thermal bypass plate



In other news the hydraulic lifters in my IPP heads are pretty loud and knocky .

I’m working with them to troubleshoot.

If I have to rebuild the heads (pray not) ill swap on C2 JWT exhaust cams. I really do NOT want to go through all that but will if thats what is needed to un F*%k those IPP heads.

So far I’m not super impressed with IPP. More on that after I sort all this head nonsense. If I require a rebuild that will be pretty bad.

Before I get too worked up though, I’ll do my due Diligence troubleshooting these heads with input from IPP. Wish me (and my bank account) luck...

Its not a good sign that brand new heads from IPP are not functioning properly. IPP built them from scratch (they would not accept my cores which seemed odd at the time)

I asked IPP to use the new JWT cams on the build and they assured me that they did only to admit later that they did not know about the C2 cams. At that point my motor was already build and installed so it was JUUUUUST days too late. That was a bit upsetting.

Stay Tuned (pun intended)
Surfdog , I assume they put together for you the Stage 2 longblock which is what I'm wanting to do. I'd be miffed as hell if they told me C2 cams and then did'nt have them. My question with me planning on getting the Stage 2 longblock is whether or not you're happy with the build of the motor. My goal is to get a minimum of 650 on pump gas and to do it I'm gonna need to be in the 16psi range with no concerns. I don't want to spend money on their longblock if you just got yours and you're not happy with it.
