Willhelm Reichert Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 Now I have an excuse to upgrade the head <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Willhelm Reichert Posted September 6, 2006 Author Posted September 6, 2006 it turns out Bill Lambros of the LRE fame blew his headgasket yesterday also. It's kinda cool having 5,000 sq ft of spare parts in the neighborhood. Now I have to get Hemi to move..Hemi, I'll sell you a lot and you can walk to work.
TwinCamFan Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Bill still drives a TD?? I thought he was out. What does he still drive around in his SC? It's been 10 years or so since I've talked to him...Alan
Willhelm Reichert Posted September 10, 2006 Author Posted September 10, 2006 Twin cam I missed your post till now. His Neon blew the headgasket the same day.Both our cars got towed by the same company. He was trying to figure out wether to replace the gasket or just drop a spare race engine in. He still has a fleet of imsa cars and lots of neat parts. The TD's was/is his passion. Unfortunately or not the "pay the bills job" has had him working 70 hours per week for quite a few years. Kinda cool when you can call and have the parts dropped off. I have to sell Hemi on the advantages of Mo. now. Then I would REALLY be in TD heaven.Hey Hemi, you can borrow my new 25' sailboat.....Lynn Travers that did the NADA advisor bit for TD's also lives here.BTW the CPI (cars of particular interest) index for the TC is $11,000 for 06 and plus 10% for the 16 valve. I think that's an insult to the Masi head cars.
Willhelm Reichert Posted September 12, 2006 Author Posted September 12, 2006 Well I decided on a reworked head by http://www.powrehaus.com/Still trying to beat Hemi's 33 mpg. This guy's nickname is MPG Mike!!!!!He also remembers reading Hemi's articles back when he was in grade school.
TwinCamFan Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Snap some pics when you get that head and put them up here or at TM. I'd like to see what kind of formula he uses inside those ports <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I have done dozens of 2.2/2.5 heads and without going to bigger injectors or a bigger cam, they pick up mileage every time. Unfortunatly almost every time a head like that is done, it's combined with a bigger turbo and injectors <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />AlanYou know if you are hunting for ultimate MPG, you could always crank back your fuel pressure... Of course don't expect your pistons to last in that environment <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
Willhelm Reichert Posted September 13, 2006 Author Posted September 13, 2006 Click on the link above. He has photos there. He is just going full time on this. He has been at it for years and really does remembers Hemi's write ups in magazines.
Hemi Dude Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 You want to sell me a lot? A lot of what or a lot where? Now that you see me here, get back to me. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Willhelm Reichert Posted October 19, 2006 Author Posted October 19, 2006 re Hemi....I'll sell you some land.... You can walk to work, 1/2 mile from sailing lake (small) 2 miles to Harrahs, lots of trees. Then I can get you to work on my cars....Do you do charity work? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> You can build a castle here for what Ca. property cost.
