Yes raider has a gen 1, oh Christine

 

Those sound like some Sunday fundays to put together. I have an EBCS after I busted a nipple cleaning my valves, some solid shifter bushings, Damond motor mounts, fidanza flywheel, JBR short shift plate, and I think that covers it. I’m thinking high pressure fuel pump internals next.

how hard was the valve cleaning? did it take a while to do?

 

After removing the accessories leading up to the intake manifold and the manifold itself, cleaning the valves took about 4-5hours. I did a low cost version where I used a set of picks and some brake cleaner. It was tedious and it was difficult to see all the gunk. I’ve seen the set ups for walnut media blasting and that seems pretty darn smooth. Let me know if you have other questions!

If you have access to an air compressor and necessary tools to media blast grab the CorkSport valve cleaning tool.
