Anyone have any input about snow foam? Is the setup cost worth how effectively it lifts dirt??

[R3Z3N]

I believe those are 10mm plastic type nuts.

Oh oh oh, they are open end with an attached washer on it.

for the m10 motors there is an ignition control unit that goes there and this is the part number for the screw: 12141271678

the realoem image doesn't match the real part though i don't think. Mine had washers on the screws that you could not remove.

the screw on the other end on my car was plastic.

Thanks both of you! Still working on the S54... hoping to turn the engine over soon, then custom trans carrier, shift linkage and shorten the driveshaft. Currently pulling the carpet as I have 1 hole, then I can also modify the DBW pedal setup to better suit the car and install my brake bias lever too.

Installed the Fabspeed ceramic coated headers last weekend and I am extremely disappointed, will probably send back as the O2 bungs are incorrectly positioned, that and they did not install V-band mounts as requested before ceramic coating.

Anyone know if jb weld can withstand coolant?

Anyone know if jb weld can withstand coolant?

Once it's cured i think it can, I think i put some on the plastic part of my radiator. It's been holding for about 1 year, I actually forgot about it until now.

Yeah. Drain the rad first and make sure it's dry / brake clean it.
Long time ago I drilled into my radiator (LOL) when installing my skidplate and JB weld held up great I upgraded the rad to a bigger one.
It was a rather big slice of a hole as well on the fin.

I've used JB weld on plastic parts on the radiator before too. Same as what everyone is saying, dry as a bone and let that shit cure.

Although I've never used it on the fin area.

reminds me of the time I tried to duct tape a coolant hose that was leaking

Fuckin JB Weld is a lifesaver! I was many miles from home at night with a buddy when my oil cooler was punctured. I had to nurse the car to a parking lot (by turning the engine off and on to avoid oil loss), walked to a Target for a few supplies...and walked a couple miles to an auto parts store for more. I got a quick-set JB Weld, and when we got back to the car, I noticed I forget to buy brake clean...so we go back to Target to buy rubbing alcohol and compressed air/electronics duster and paper towels. I use that combo to clean the puncture, then apply the JB... and wait. This is before Uber & I didn't know anyone in the area to call for help, so to pass the time my buddy and I walk allll the way back to the auto parts store because there are movie theaters next door. That passed almost 3 hours into the middle of the night. Back to the car, the weld has set, oil doesn't spray out any more, so I drive the 50~or so miles home.

That, plus all the other shenanigans, was a great night.

lmao. I uninstalled, then reinstalled my BOV incorrectly once and it took one pull on the freeway to shoot it off into traffic. I tried duct taping as well to get home Lolll

[efficient]

I was thinking of doing my heater valve with jb weld. Let's see how that goes

[phreshkid]

you guys need gorilla tape.

I've gorilla taped exploded coolant hoses with much success. One time I exploded a hose, gorilla taped the shit out of it, and left it that way for a week because I had forgotten. No issues.


Gorilla tape. It's mega good.

[QUKBMER]

I second that ^^^^^^. :up:
