Time attack beetle

I already have the water injection in place and since I know the problem now I may not even change the nozzle. The #2 nozzle is good for 250-400hp so it should be fine. Case #1 is at the machinist now getting 4mm shaved off the deck and should be back in my hands wednesday or thursday.

Updates through the weekend!

Haven't had much time in the past couple weeks to work on the car, too many things happening all at once. My sister got breast cancer (thankfully benign and successfully removed), my mom has to go in for heart surgery yet again for her transplant heart (for the medical equivalent of a leak down test), and I've been on edge for over a week with a huge wild fire 3 miles from the house (mostly contained now but still unsettling)

I've been working feverishly on the car since I got home from work yesterday since I now have everything to put it back together. Got the long block assembled last night and hopefully in the car later today. If all goes well I'll be driving her again tonight or tomorrow. Pics coming!

Uploading some pics now, engine is inand managed to fire her up in the midnight hour. Sounds like there's a miss and she was blowing smoke but that could have been assembly oil. I'll have a better ida tomorrow.
