Seals changed and headers painted



In sort of in but I lost momentum...tomorrow's a new day.

I remember thinking I should test fit the headers after wrapping them.....damn it

So I pulld it back out and of course everyhting now seemd to go together moistly. Engine back and god damn it!


So I did what I do....I forced it and it seems to be together well enough....once it heats up I'm pretty sure it will correct itself...hopefully


The mounts seem to work well




And the flywheel is off the frame by over 1/4" it looks like so that is good I think

Good to see your new mounts work, you don't have to add a hideous torque strut mount to your snazzy cam covers, and the tight clearance places didn't go negative!

What's on the other end of the headers making them not fit?

The header issue is my tendancy to leave 1mm clearances and the wraps being 3mm. The 2 headers are very close to eachother where theyt meet the collector and wrap causes them to inferfer, spread them a little moving the inner once closer to the engine. The the collector is very close to the bellhousing to start with and the combination of the one collector pushing closer and the wrap pushing the collector further... well...it took everythign I had wil the prybar

I think most of you know I live in rual PA.... so Trump country. Meaning schools taking zero covid precautions which to us didn't seem all that safe so the kids are online again this year. My point is its midterm time so my free time this week has been reviewing/assisting with school stuff not car work. The weekend is coming though, plus while staring at war news last weekend I went ahead and picked a fight over on GRM so don't need to worry about updating that anymore Nothing but time!

I'm thinking a solid 8 hours of bolting stuff together still....so a decent chance of testing Sunday afternoon....assuming system checks go well.

Just to make you feel better, we could start a fight here!

"Children have a greater risk of dying in a car crash on the way to the COVID test site than they do of dying of COVID. Therefore there is no need to vaccinate children who do not live with high risk family members"

"Almost no student to teacher transmissions of COVID have been recorded. Almost all school faculty COVID infections have been the result of faculty to faculty transmission. Therefore there is no need to mask or vaccinate children in school."

Pick one or both!

mk e,

Awesome Project that Engineers really appreciate.

There are no fights here, its good to be the King
