roket's Dark Horse - "Azureus" Project

[kagemusha2662]

its gotten slight worse. i need new axle seals as well. i wonder what else is going to need work? who wants to take some bets on the condition of the engine internals?

Assume this is all covered under warranty right? Having to pay for all the work you described would throw me for a loop

100% warranty. the total is up to about $7700

good news, the pistons are good, as are the cams. looks like it was just one of the cylinder 7 exhaust valves that has been leaking oil for who knows how long
here is the problematic valve

and here is the block without the cylinder head. semi-open deck

also some cam pictures if anyone finds a use for them
intake

exhaust

the problem has been fixed, and Azureus is mine again! here is how much i would've had to pay if it wasnt warranty

i really like the new shift tone feature Ford added to 10.1.0, it helps me time my shifts without staring at the tachometer. plus, its a nice little audible cue when im going full throttle and i hit 7000rpm (my shift point i have set) just before the transmission upshifts

anodizing in process...

installed the BilletWorkz titanium shifter, plus also installed the manual shift boot and anodized and changed the texture of the shift knob. anodized using 28V and changed the texture with a dremel. i call the texture "hammered grain" due to the look of tiny hammer impact marks mixed with grain-like lines on the bottom half

i didnt like the result, so i re-did the anodization and now it looks so much better

The new shift knob looks awesome in your Mustang, great work!

Thanks man! Signature Audio in North Scottsdale did the install. They have done it on all my dads cars too. They do amazing work!

Sorry for the late response, I haven't hopped on here in like 2 weeks!

no worries on the response time. i will admit, i am not a huge fan of how exposed the front jammers are, personally i would've modified the front bumper so they could be hidden, but totally understandable if you didnt want to do that. definitely going to be using your setup as an inspiration for mine when i eventually get a jammer system of my own

Yeah, I was surprised, but they didn't have many options and they never asked to modify the bumper. I wouldn't have wanted them to though. On my dads cars they are set back in the grill and completely hidden.
Its an awesome setup though. It is the redline ci 360c detector system.

It will be sick to see what you come up with though! Definitely will have to post some photos!
