Yeah I get that, I understand porosity and what it is. When I say I don't know if it makes it any stronger I mean it in a measurable sense. I haven't looked up 4340, 4340 vac melt and 300m (4340m) to compare the numbers. And so we are all on the same page on this 300m (4340m) is also a vac...

Just to clarify. It is a process used to purify metal. It is melted in a vaccum chamber with dc current. So basically what happens is all the gases that get trapped in materials as they cool open air get removed making the material more pure. The process also removes micro porosity. It is also...

might be wandering around got bunch of over time checks to blow... if I don't have to work.

Damn if I would have known earlier I could have picked one up for you, I have to go to Tacoma tomorrow.

Yup I would agree with CPS, sounds exactly like what mine did. does the tach bounce a little while cranking? If no my money is on CPS. Have him unplug the IPC? cant remeber if that the right name. on top the d/s valve cover see if it changes anything usually wont keep it from starting but...
