    Slowly, she is coming back together. My son took me by this evening, and was told tomorrow may be the day I get her back. At the time this was taken the intake was being modified to make room for the for the cooling mod I had done while we had it apart.



    Still need a proper dipstick tube. Got one off a SOHC engine, and he's gonna see if he can modify it to work, at least until I can get a correct one in to replace it with. I need this baby on the road. Borrowing vehicles, or being stuck without one sucks.

    Curious why he didn’t reinstall the intake when the engine was out?

    I like to pull em or install them with headers, blower, wiring harness and all. Sooo much quicker.

    How long did it take you to realize you were 90* off?

    Finally... She'll never be this clean again either. She is running a bit hot, so looks like the burping procedure will need to be redone in the morning, but she runs well.



    Now to get the stereo theft damage fixed, and I'll be happy once again...

    It really does help if you park on a steep driveway and do the procedure...

    Would be a good time to clean the radiator and condenser next to it, they collect dirt and make it run hot

    I'm going to park it so the front tires are on a couple blocks for the procedure.
    I had the radiator cleaned, and checked at a radiator shop while the engine was out.

    The condenser sits right in front of it too, and collects all the dirt, grass, hay, and hair. Just a friendly suggestion that most dont catch.

    She got burped a bit before I went to bed. More air came out. This morning, I pulled her up on some 2x4s (3 high) and topped her off at the crossover plug. Only got a few air bubbles out, and she only took less than a quart more coolant. Ran her just over 100 miles today, and she was perfect.

    I just love how nice and clean she looks now.

    Just exercise every single hose you can get your hand on, especially the heater core and lower radiator hoses. Give them all a good work out for five minutes, top off the COT, plug it and drive. I don’t even start them anymore and never once and issue.
