RSVDon Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) Started at 9 am, gave up just now. I'm dirty, covered in at least 6 different oils, greases, and adhesives and I reek of trans fluid. But I'll be damned if that clutch isn't finally in that bitch after this long. Now to finish up tomorrow. I need a beer.Oh, the clutch disc? Missing chunks of friction material. And the flywheel and pressure plate were scored and blued from repeated destruction.

RSVDon Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 just rub it with some sandpaper and it looks fine to me...???Nah man, that's toast. Can't really rub it with sandpaper either. Besides, it won't handle what I plan to throw at it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ever let him talk you into paying him for anything. No matter what. He may have gotten his shit into the 9s, but he's incapable of building a kit for anyone else. Swindled quite a few people through the GTO community. But that's beside the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey1 Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 What brand of clutch did you go with? I used to run Centerforce dual friction in my T/A and it always held up great to the abuse of 500hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSVDon Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Wow, it really doesn't get any better than this. Buddy wrenching on the top of the car broke an exhaust manifold bolt off in the head. Now I have to lift the head to get it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Wow, it really doesn't get any better than this. Buddy wrenching on the top of the car broke an exhaust manifold bolt off in the head. Now I have to lift the head to get it out. I've seen quite a few trucks do that on their own (corrosion, had 6.0l in them.) Fortunately, most of them you can get to with a drill to get them out. If there's any bolt left sticking above the head surface, we've had a lot of luck with welding a nut onto it and backing it out (with the manifold off, of course.) Even worse about this are the Ford trucks. MANY 5.4's and v-10's that we've seen have that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The head is sealed for now and I'm piecing together the components for LQ4 truck heads with ARP bolts and studs, etc. Low compression sounds like fun for $400 total for the head package.
