Do you mean the vents or the whole system? In what way?

The unit is rebuildable and it has always been more efficient to me

I am so anxious. I am literally down to the wire! As soon as it comes back from the AC shop I can start driving it in the area and test and tuning it. It’s finally quiet enough to where I could hear some valvetrain noise. Nothing major but I’m just wondering if it’s rockers that need lash adjusted or if it’s the dreaded lifter tick, if it’s the tick I’ll just live with it cause it wasn’t that bad just what little I heard while the exhaust guy was backing it out. God I’m so excited.

Have you considered installing factory A/C vents in the dash panel rather than using the aftermarket pods? Would give a cleaner appearance in the end.

They're in the Ames catalogue, so I believe so.

I would like to have factory vents but I’ve already blown my budget.

We ran into some hiccups and I have had some health issues but the car is on the way home from the shop as we speak, I will post Youtube links tonight or tomorrow.

It’s nocturne blue with a twist. Seriously that video doesn’t tell how loud it is. Plan to drive it some tomorrow. Just I’m the cul de sac and see how it does. 3/10 of a mile on the odometer right now ��. How y’all like those exhaust tips?

I do have a slight amount of the dreaded roller lifter tic but not enough to justify trying to mess with how my builder set them up.
