New title is winning

Man, popped a new center link in and this thing's steering is tiiiiight. Love it.

Right valve cover gasket is puking. Gonna have to address that sooner than later, but really, I'm loving this car.

At least now the bottom isn't hemorrhaging oil, and it actually steers. Have some Moosehead bushings for the UCAs, then the suspension should be all buttoned up for now.

Slammin's square jerk.....project melting pot content plssss

Caps definitely caps

[ST1G]

Run the caps.

245 on 7 will fit but it looks and functions poorly. I'm all for maximum tire, but 225 is plenty for a 7.

Ya, that's what I was thinking. We'll see....I'm still not sure these are what I want to put on the car yet....

This is going to happen....



....they are 16x7".....Wondering if I can pop a 245/50 on them.....the overall height will be the same as the stock 225/60/15.

Other option is a 225/50....which will be close. I'd rather run the widest tire possible....but IDK if a 245 on a 7" wide wheel will look dumb....

Also waffling on running them with center caps, or without....

Man, after reading those comments I had to check and make sure I didn't post those dic pics that were meant for Blunt.

Those were definitely what I was looking at, but I got them from Lambo.

Oil pan adventure done.

WHAT FUN

Have to drill those two holes to get to two of the bolts. Otherwise, the factory way, you have to remove the transmission....



Did the engine mounts.....the one on the right is from the left (driver's) side....so it see all the engine tq when revved.



It's also in a position where you cannot replace it without dropping the subframe.



I hope to not have to see this side of this oil pan for a loooong time.....if ever.....



But really, it isn't that bad of a job to do. I would have had it done quicker but I decided to get and install the engine mounts.
....and all buttoned up.



Sadly I don't have pics of the subframe(s) hanging down and the bottom end of the engine. Nothing was found laying in the pan. I was impressed.

Next chapter will be the valve seals and the peeling back of the layers to replace those.....
