  2. Bro, that guy is just like you haha
  3. I need a ls1 starter for my SS.
  4. I have this TR 357 that comes in a nice wooden case with a knife and badge. Perfect for all the chuck norris fans... I have shot the gun a couple of times and everything seems to work fine. Id like 550.00. Thanks Carl http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb291/boostedgtp/IMG_3871.jpg http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb291/boostedgtp/IMG_3870.jpg

  6. When I worked on them the ony thing out of the ordinary we had to deal with is a brake booster on one. I think there is a problem on some with the crank case canister on top of the motor. Great cars tho, not the fastest thing, but tight, quite, and stops great.
  7. I see that truck all the time up here in sunbury. It is sweet.
  8. my 1/2 gun just didnt have enough ass, i borrowed a 3/4 gun and it worked. Thanks for the help tho derek and rob. The last couple I have done I was able to use 1/2 no problem, this one just had to fight a little more. I did call the 161 napa and they have the tool for like 48.00 if anyone needs it.
  9. Where can you buy one of these in columbus?
  10. How does this stuff stand up to the elements? Mallard, have you had any problems with it being on the outside of your car?
  11. I called flatout and talked to Mark. I told him what I did and he said he doesn’t recommend spraying the rcc gaskets with the permatex copper. He said the copper will damage the rubber coating and he offered to recoat the gasket for 15.00 plus shipping. I told him that I already torqued one head down and he said it was up to me if I wanted to take it off or not. He said he hasn’t heard of anyone using the copper spray so he couldn’t comment on exactly if it would seal or not. He did say they have used rtv silicone around the water passages to help stop water leaking. So I think I’m going to leave the front head on and use just rtv around the water passages on the rear head. I sent an email to kurt urban on ls1tech and he said he installs the rcc gaskets dry and non rcc ones with rtv around the coolant passages. So Im just gonna do a little experiment and see what happens. I hope to have it running in a couple of weeks so Ill let you know what happens.
  12. Yea thats the stuff. Ill call flatout tomorrow and see what they say and report back.
  13. no i just put 2 coats of this copper "spray a gasket" made by permatex stuff on the gasket and torqued the head down. I used "the right stuff" also made by permatex on my head studs. It was recomended to us by the engine builder who fixed the cylinder heads.
  14. Good deal. Has he had any problems with water and I wonder how many miles he has on it.
  15. For insurance. Did your builder tell you to install them dry? The motor im working on didnt have sealant on the head studs and pushed water up them. The person who ported the heads, ported into the water jacket and created a second water leak. The heads are fixed and I have sealed the studs. Im am just looking for extra insurance with the copper spray. Is your motor running?
  16. Its a GM 3.8 iron head and block. Oring in the block and reciever in the head. Im wondering what if any sealant I should put on the gasket to seal the coolant passages? I tourqued one head on tonight and used 2 coats of spray copper on the gasket. I have been reading and it seems like everyone who uses these has a different opinion on them.
  17. Has anyone used a set of flatout rubber coated copper head gaskets? What were your impressions?
  18. I need the jam nut for a B&M t56 shifter. I believe it is 16mm by 1.5.
  19. Have you found anyone yet, I got a buddy that use to work for GM as a parts guy.
  20. Word. 2 turbos and awd is just more shit to break.
