Head gasket replacement
Ok. I noticed something in this picture. Just looking at the coolant port forward right that looks to be coolant failure of the gasket. Coolant wasn't flushed often enough. I want you to pay close attention to that front corner. Part of the failure is coolant and the other one the typical head curl. Over time the heating and cooling cycles creates head curl stretching the stock head bolts on the ends of the head. The visible rust in that corner is oxidation either by the coolant getting too old and pH dropped or the coolant was mixed too water heavy.

Fuel knock or timing knock or something else?
7 x 0.010 @320 bar works good so far. Still needs more beta test with others. This is not absolute bet yet. For me no issues to report.

Budget build, need advice
Quadzilla much better tuner over a Smarty better timing control and fuel management. As injectors get larger more timing us needed. Just the Quadzilla, boost elbow, and stock injectors will be darn close to 300 realm. Based on tires and wheels. Larger tire trap power hence why I went to 30 inch tires. 150 GPH pump is needed for big power fuel pressure stability.

Big change in my life...
Everyone here has been wonderful. Very helpful and nice. I've been given the green light to go home. Catheter was removed this morning.

Don't install the K&N. Get BHAF. Optimal IAT temp is 90F to 140F. Cold air will degrade MPG below 80F. Quadzilla will get you the ballpark pretty quick. I'm in the 500 HP range now. (7 x 0.010 @ 320 bar).

Fuel Pressure High!
Big mistake most do is install the fuel pressure sensor at the VP44. This will kill it in a short order. Like mine it's got 5 foot of air brake line from the snubber to the sensor. This allows time for the pulses to fade.

@IBMobile Gotta pick on me. Finally allowed to get up and walk on my own. Nice to get up and move. Like my nurse just came in. So yeah I've got some cuties. My other nurse...

I've got to ask do you have a water separator or prefilter before the pump?

Fuel knock or timing knock or something else?
White smoke is a sign of retarded timing. Typically seen with P0216 code possibly. Just remember Quadzilla does not change any idle fuel or timing.

Big change in my life...
As of today. Doctor said my pathology came back good and clean. Fighting some bleeding and cotton issues. Doing better now. Got out of bed and walked the halls for two laps. Still hurting but healing. Got one more surgery left. Got a bit of scar tissue or tumor in the right ureter which needs to be cut out. Stitch the two halfs back together. At this time both kidneys are functional and healing.

Head gasket replacement
Keep going... I want to see the cylinders and pistons. When you lift the head look at the gasket, block and the head.

Big change in my life...
Between the pain meds and sleep meds I'm half out of it. The port in my lower right of my back hurts pretty good. I need to get to my feet some point today. Still dealing with bleeding but I'm alive. I've even got to see some of my old nurses from previous time. I'm in good hands.

Big change in my life...
Last night they managed to get the stent in my right ureter. Got some good rest. I'm up early but sore. Still bleeding yet. I'm in good hands and be well taken care of.

Got lucky they got the stent in my right kidney. Also got the drain bag for now but they got the stent in. Took only 30 minutes with a local.

Big change in my life...
1st surgery went good. Doctor was happy on how I healed. So for the 2nd surgery the doctor scrapped my bladder and it to pathology. But my right ureter is plugged up. Not sure if it scar tissue it tumor. Either way I'm going in for a. 3rd surgery to drain my right kidney. Then later on go back in for a 4th surgery to put the stent in.

Choosing The Right Fuel Lift Pump For My Needs
Because the return port in the VP44 is too small for higher pressure and could possibly push the front seal out. Rare but has happened. Return is on the left.

Brass timing sleeve to steel timing sleeve. Rubber diaphragm to steel plate.

Interesting... I've got to ask what is the stated HFRR score for that fuel.
