TwinCamFan Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 ACCKKK! There's something wrong with your garage Mob, it's not cluttered with 'stuff'! The unmistakeable impound/towing yard grease pencil, that stuff clings tenaciously doesn't it Whatch'a doing with the valve cover off? I can see the axle rebuilding going on...Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobjak Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Here is where I am with the current repairs, and a couple of photos.I recently replaced the CV boot on the passenger side, and that went pretty well. Cleaned out all of the old grease and it actually looked very good.I currently have the axle out in order to gain additional access to the exhaust to remove the head so that i can replace the gasket.A couple of additional picsIf you could see my basement, that would more than makeup for how clean the garage is. Also, it is only 2 years old and still in the process of being finished off..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinCamFan Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Ah yes, I forgot about your HG replacement thread Absolute classic case of a 'blown' HG, see how clean the #1 piston is? The water jacket in the back corner or the block on that side causes a 'comprimise' in the gasket sealing area, look at the old one closely before you throw is away (in fact, I keep mine for years to refer back to them ) and you'll see where it is erroded away in that coolant passage area. You'll also want to CLOSELY inspect the fire rings (shiny metal innermost part of the circles that form the bore) to see if any of them are out of shape, separated, out or round or otherwise less than perfect. It could indicate a bigger problem. I don't recall exactly from the other thread, are you going to have the head 'gone thru' while its off? Valve job/seals? Decked to be flat? Some porting maybe Free power AND milage with some well place cutting...Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
