Also, drove it to work today because it was nice out. Brought some co-workers to lunch with it. I don't know if you'd consider them lucky or un-lucky.

Pulled the plugs, #3 hadn't been firing. Lifter stuck again, no compression. Backed it off and lashed like a solid lifter and it's good to go. Tons more power hitting on all 8 and it makes 15 psi on spring pressure instead of 7. Hoping for good weather this weekend for the track but it's not looking promising.

The track closed last weekend so no track numbers this year. I was able to make another test drive last night. Went to turn up the boost and it looks like the turbo maxes out at 18 psi on this motor with the wastegate shut. For a heavy truck it's a monster at that level. I'm going to say I made 6-ish good pulls on it and everything was happy.

Tie bar goes above the pushrods, there's no room for the tie bar if you install it the other way around.
