I made some progress over the weekend... mostly on Sunday thanks to Jason. The used head is all screwed up, i had to order another Time Sert set for the exhaust studs... of course one is jacked up (aka - the bolt just slides right in). i'm just hoping it holds together for Dominion and Summit. I was hoping to make VIR but I'll be on travel for work
Starting Friday I'll be a geo-bachelor... and since i took Friday off... i'll have 3 days to try to get as much as i can done.
1. fix the exhaust stud
2. adjust the valve clearances
3. seal up the motor and hook all my hoses (haha)
4. cut the weight off the AC/torque mount bracket and paint it
5. Seal and refit the hatch/mount the wing of doom
6. replace rear hubs (i have a feeling i'll need a couple beers to get the inner races off)
7. finish/paint front splitter
8. swap front springs and put in PCI front camber arms
9. adjust the suspension/set ride height and repair rear swaybar bushings
10. wire up the fan and coolant gauge
11. oil and trans fluid change
once all that is done i should be able to fire it up and see what happens. as long as i think its running okay i'll schedule my dyno appointment.
