S52 finally!

[parkerbink]

I made a mount for the traction fluid reservoir out of shelf mounts.

[parkerbink]

Pulled the reservoir 2x. First was not happy with the wire tie mounts, then read reviews the fittings leaked. It's mounted with nuts & bolts & all the fittings now have silicone tape.

[parkerbink]

ZM linkage renewed.

[parkerbink]

It's ready, I can get it tomorrow via 760 mile round trip or wait until a week from Thursday. I think we all know what is going to happen.

12 hours later.....






Left at 3am, home at 3pm, missed the storm.

[parkerbink]

Motor is out & on it's stand!

[parkerbink]

Forgot something hit the tree on the way.

Didn't make any noise I hoped it was foam before forgetting about it.

No dent but won't just wipe off.

[parkerbink]

Normal cleaners did nothing, WD40...

Purdy! What are you running for head gasket?

Debris from the storm hit the truck?

[parkerbink]

Not sure. I'll ask.

It was before the storm, some kind of road debris. Something black, there were several, I moved trying to avoid it but it got me.

[parkerbink]

Maybe this will shed light.






Oversized SC cooler came.




Mounted on the S54 radiator

From the builder, I have an OEM 1.74mm HG coated with a copper high temp sealant. Sounds pretty damn cool to me! :P

[parkerbink]

Headers are on the motor, less than no fun even out of the car.

[Panici]

Headers look great! 😍

The SC mount replaces the alternator bolts, and the power steering pump needs spacers due to the S54 oil filter housing.
