Patrick,
Let me explain YouTube in a on topic way.
I want you to fix my Fiero, I am not going to tell you what to fix, but my entire existence depends on you fixing my Fiero, so choose something to fix. Now, I am only going to pay you if you fix a minimum of 10 issues, but its only going to be a few cents per issue after that regardless of how in-depth the repair was. When you fix a 100 issues maybe then I will pay you minimum wage. On top of all of that, if you want to get paid, you not allowed to use certain tools, or perform fixes in certain ways that I decide on a on the fly basis. In fact if you have already used a tool that I decide to ban tomorrow, I'm not going to pay you for that fix anymore and make it harder for you to get paid for future fixes.
If you decide you just want to fix my Fiero for fun and don't want to make money, I'm going to advertise other mechanics, stores and especially politicians (even ones you don't like) on the wall of your shop facing the street whether you like it or not.
That's YouTube in a nutshell.

Yeah, that's pretty much it!
But lets not pollute Rei's subject with off topic bla bla, OK?

Yeah, OT but F-Youtube!
I created a Rumble channel, not that I have anything on it yet...or at least anything Fiero-related...

What... there are ads on YouTube??!!! 
Thankfully, due to AdBlock Plus, I never see them.
I've uploaded quite a few videos to YouTube over the years on two different channels, but I don't do it for any form of monetization.
Rafe, I'll send you a PM.

I'm still here!. The intention of my channel was to show my projects so others can see what is achievable with the 60* Iron head engine. It was never my intention to make money on it. But when YouTube changed the rules and started putting ads on videos to make money off them, that's when I drew the line. An old proverb says: "The one who gives to the rich will end up in poverty".
Regarding this project, I have everything ready. Block is bored and honed and the rotating assembly is balanced and the camshaft is done. I'm still testing the 3.7L in the car and getting it ready for this years track days. Now I can book time on a Circuit to test and tune about an hour from my home. The plan is to keep tuning the current 3.7L and sometime before the end of the year install the long rod 3.7L short block.
I know that SOME of you are real gearheads and enjoyed my channel, so I decided to get a Rumble account and start uploading the old and new content there. Here is the first video I uploaded.

I don't blame you for dumping YouTube. Actually, I was considering other options, just in case. And rumble was one of them (also utreon).

much to my surprise, not all iron heads are created equal...
Up top are the Firechicken heads I was getting ported for my new 3.5x spinner...however...
My old Fiero heads are clearly superior... The casting is much thicker around the exhaust ports which allowed me to get to >1.4" diameter but on the Firechicken heads the machinist thought it safe to limit them to 1-3/8" ... and I can't disagree...
Perhaps I'll ask him to D-port them to help make-up the difference...[This message has been edited by lou_dias (edited 02-02-2023).]

Rei,
Which harmonic damper are you using for this?
