Well after 2 cups of lost blood I finally got my motor put back in,and it runs great.I added new bottles,valve covers,wires,new rad,heddman headers attached to a complete 3" flowmaster with no cat.It sounds deadly.I also painted everything including the plenum.This winter when I have more time I'm gonna take the plenum off and polish it and the pipes somemore.What started this was a mystery oil leak (which I hate) so i pulled it and relaced every single gasket/seal etc.Oil leak is gone now.Whatcha think.Any suggestions!!!!

 

Nice job on motor looks sweet,,,,but I have one question ????

Where was the mystery oil leak? Thanks.


Oh one more thing not to make you feel bad or be a wise guy but don't you think that all those stickers on the intake make the whole motor's appearance look cheap. Besides why do you want to advertise for these guys I mean it's not like they paid for any of your upgrades. I would lose the stickers, makes for a nicer appearance, otherwise bad looking machine.....

 

i dont know about the sticker thing but that car looks really good. upload some more pics soon

 

i love your valve covers! your headers and plenum look BA too man.

 

You know I think I kinda agree on the stickers.My wife said the same thing.I was able to polish the intake with Mother's plastic polish pretty good then I covered it with stickers! I'm 95% sure the oil leak was from the back corner of the intake.I previously tried changing the rear engine seal,valve cover's.pan gasket,dist gasket,check the oil sending unit.All that and still losing about a liter every 300-400 km's.Made a mess and drove me nuts so that's when decided to pull the motor and re replace every single seal/gasket on the thing!Thanks for the replies and compliments.

 

Thanks on the compliment.Here's a few recent pic's since I put the new Iroc's on and the clear park's and signal's.Slow but sure it's coming along.New paint and interior coming this winter.
