thanks for the alternative. I so wish it would work. But I dont think it will :? Guess I'm takin the head off tomorrow...............hopefully only one rod is in the wrong way. lol
ebay special. It was like 60some dollars. The ebay radiators seem to hold up pretty good, especially dual core ones. I like the ones that are fresh metal more then the polished ones though. Oh well. It'll get dull after a while
I actually welded up a custom traction bar setup that will let this radiator and a big downpipe fit instead of those gay stock crossmembers that wont let you run a 3" down pipe. Lol
Got the cams and caps put in today, should have the bottom end all sealed up tomorrow. Oh, and got the car pulled into the shop today. I'll take some pics of everything tomorrow.
Ok, so I got the tranny cleaned up today. It was so dirty, I forgot to take a pic of it when I first started, but I took a pick of the back of it. Thats how dirty the whole thing was. Also took pics of the traction bar kit I welded up. I just need to weld on some tabs for the radiator now when I get the motor in and get it on the lift. Got the flywheel resurfaced and then found out that I didnt have the right trowout bearing spring, so I went to brentwood acura to pick that up. Also some other random pics from the shop. lol
Oh, and I took a closer look at the rivets on the headgasket and they all clear the mating surface, so I think it should be good. I guess I'll find out when I start it up and stuff.
I polished the crap out of it after this step, but forgot to take a pic when I was done. Next time I take pictures I'll probably have the tranny on the motor. It looks super fresh though.
no 1 rivet
no 2 rivet
no 3 rivet
no 4 rivet
engine almost done! getting the valve cover sandblasted monday.
So I got the throwout bearing spring yesterday. I just might be able to get the motor put in on monday, but if not, then I will definitely have the clutch/tranny/flywheel all on. Cant wait! I've been driving my aunts old dodge truck thats on lits last legs. You have no idea how much I want to drive my wagon!!!!!!!!!!!!! :twisted:
