runway tires.........WTF?

that came with the car.... longgg goneee already

[bzboardz]

well that escalated quickly

[robiniscool]

figured out the idle issue, it seems these v8 engines have a common oil separator fail issue, (shoulda replaced that when i had everything out)
but in the good side i just bought b40 heads to replace the b30 heads i put on, and $500 worth of gasket/oil separator/seals
so updates coming soon!

[MattAvino]

nice. cant wait to see the updates.

[robiniscool]

couple updates today i started to take the exhaust apart and will be tearing down the motor this weekend for the b40 heads,
and some pictures

this is how i did my exhaust system, ehh its ok for never welding anything in my life

also got all the wiring off

and got all my gaskets to do the head changes this weekend! it feels like Christmas for me


thats all for now since i work until 8pm m-f and don't have time to work on my car until the weekend :zzz:

Sup Sup.. Update needed!

[robiniscool]

so change of plans, i guess im going full rebuild and changing the piston rings and also lapping the valves, and about to order a oil cooler setup along with AC stuff, more parts should be here this week and hopefully i can finish the heads this weekend. ill try to take as much pictures as i can so people won't be too afraid to do a rebuild on their own car ;) but if you #($* up thats your own fault (disclaimer) haha
