    The pedal should feel a little firmer, but the biggest difference is gonna be when you're on the verge of lockup or when you lockup and have to recover real fast. The firewall flexes a ton, @SSlowBoat have someone pump the pedal while you watch from the engine bay side and you'll see it.

    A quick study on the pistons....Looks like the are made by Racetec Pistons. Racetec forged are 2618 alloy. These are Autotec low expansion 4032 alloy.

    In prep for eventual teardown, built a halfway decent workbench


    Yanked driver side manifold


    Not bad of a seal, maybe a tiny leak between 3 & 5


    And the reason for the season, wet, oily plugs


    Waiting for leak down tester to arrive today
