[Big Wang Bandit]

FTW!

IM me on AIM and Ill give you my phone number so we can chill after the show.

 

[kylefoto]

Well
That left bolt that goes on the left stud of the master cylinder is a BITCH.
I dropped it onto the wires, and my dad attempted to get it, had it, and dropped it into the chasis below the fuse box there to the left of the clutch.
So about to run up to my neighbors and get a magnet thing to grab it.
New thermostat is in though.

 

[kylefoto]

Made quite a bit of progress today.
This is my garage I'm working under:

and this is why I'm working under that:

Old shitty ass radiator is out

Progress after a little break earlier:

I don't know what the fuck was in my cooling system:

meh?

It's going to be so much more clean after I'm done

Tossing it off anyways to show off my sweet new painted valve covers

I had a tough time taking this one and another big one over by the throttle body/intake manifold off, and they just ended up breaking, so I'm replacing a whole bunch of hoes. I mean hoses

anddddd progress as it sits now.

 

[kylefoto]

ohhhhhhhhh yeah.
I ordered some ARP's too.
108 shipped.
I'm just praying it REALLY takes 2 business days as stated in the auction.
ebay.
haha.

 

[oscolivar1]

geez i c why u needed my valve covers...yours look pretty beat up.

 

[kwnate]

DUDE, why'd you run into the garage door?? I'd give you a hand but I have too much to take care of at my house. The weather has been beating the crap out of it...

 

[americanjebus]

damn kyle, did a battery explode in your engine bay?? your valve covers look eaten up!

and yea that pic of the broken vacuum hose in your hand is gay, the bolt that holds the lower metal peice in place is missing so everytime i want to change it i cant cus the lower peice will fall down and my hands wont fit in there to grap it.

sucks workin outside though! how cold is it over there?

hahaha.
Pretty much.
That was pretty much the only thing I was disappointed in when we got this engine, other than that it looked great.

It's not too bad working outside, the hallogen light I have hanging from my hood does a good job of genorating some heat and the tarp keeps it in. Plus I'm layering up.

And nate,
I didn't crash into the garage, my girlfriend did. haha. I felt so bad for her.
what'd the storm do to your house?

 

[kylefoto]

I NEED ARP HEAD STUDSSSSSSS!
Someone help me out.
It's gunna cost me out the ass to get em shipped by saturday.
Does ANYONE know of any local places that sell ARP head studs for the 7m???

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

How much are you paying for those?

I think I got mine for like $95 but I believe it was from a place in Florida.

Edit: Maryland

The problem is the shipping.
I need them here by saturday and i'm paying out the ass to get them here.
I went ahead with Aaron from Rabidchimp.com
151 shipped to my door by saturday.
Bout the best I think I'm going to find with such short notice.
Oh well.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Damn.

Yea, I dunno about the shipping but I figure they could have put 2nd day air or overnight.

Well yeah, but it costs hellllllla.

This is what you get when you own a 17, almost 18 year old car.
Check out the bottom left of the hose.

Then check out the fragments of it

The next 3 pictures show the other end it broke off of. The thing was ROCK HARD. As you can sort of tell, I started sawing into to see if it would come off. It didn't of course.



To add to my problems, I think I broke the throttle body. I'm not sure where that part goes or if it's fixable, but let me know plzzzzz.


And the last problem, I cracked this gasket. Think I'd be okay to reuse it or go get another one?





Here's a little comparison to show what I got done today.
Yesterday

Today:

Close up on cams.

 

[oscolivar1]

id get a new gasket from the stealership or from jay mark champion or ask around here.
