Due to me have a whole day off for the first time on months:



I think I'm burning some oil

I think it's leaking from the rocker bolt holes, because the ported intake runners cut into the taps...need to re seal them with locktite, apparently I missed a few places.

[ls1camino]

Just realized not everyone knows...my car hasn't run since I did a H/C/I swap back in May.

[FSANE]

my car hasn't ran since Nov 08

Damn that sounds cool!

[SHines-IT]

I think your windsheild is cracked.

[ls1camino]

I think your windsheild is cracked.

Yes, I don't know how it happened...I came out one day and it was cracked...no impact mark as if someone had thrown a rock...I think it was extreme heat

if the engine sat for that long, probably no oil in it too-i'd say your valve seals are dry rot. I'm having the white smoke issue on start up and was geting some blue smoke when driving. I think i've burnt about a quart of oil since i got the used engine in june. It was a warehouse engine, so most likely it was sitting w/out oil in it. I dumped in some zmax, then some Lucas oil stabilizer and it's actually helping alot.

I don't think they are dry rotted...they are brand new.

missed that, if you mentioned it.

I wasn't expecting you to know, but when I did the swap, I had the heads ported, brand new valves, valve seals, and double valve springs installed.

[Spaz]

i miss having a cam...

[c5z28]

That camera does not due your car justice

[ls1camino]

Yeah...my brother has been pressuring me to get a proper video camera and use this for still pictures only.

[hamburger68]

do you have any exhaust on this???

[pajeff02]

I realize the video is not the greatest, but it looks like you have stray spark flashing in the engine bay. Right around the 45 second count in the video you can see flashes down low towards the front of the engine on the driver side, and then again on the passenger side as the camera swings across the front of the engine. I have not smoked anything... I swear.

Man your car looks and sounds awesome. Where'd you get the rear silver bird sticker?

No...open headers.

I think what you're seeing is the lettering on the new belt.

Thank you...Fourth Circle Designs.

[wheeliE-maxx]

Doesn't look like they make those stickers anymore. Thanks for the info though

[CJREX]

Gee, that doesn't sound stock

Me Likey!
