Looks great connie, buttttt. Motors out and those valve covers look dirty. Better dress em up and paint em up while there out of the car and easily accessable.

They arent dirty...its 236K miles of wear.. I will either get them professionally done later..or I will look for a pristine set..right now I just want my coupe running again..its been down for far to long. I want to try out my Weber that Jerry worked so hard on... Psyko was it using for awhile until his was finished and installed cause his hitcrappy wasnt working at all.

 

Jerry.. I have run nothing but Castrol GTX in everything forever it seems ( Except my 08..It runs Kendall..what the dealer puts in) I also have a purolator filter to run for a short time to get the gunk out..then an OEM one after.

 

I miss running my little coupe

 

Oh Steve...making a crock of Chili...and I dont think John will mind some swaybar goodness

Im surprised cause mine sedan has a hair less than 80k on it now and the valve covers are terrible. Oh well.

:clap::clap::clap::headbang::headbang::headbang:

you gonna be rollin' today? anyways is that air filter one of those K&N style ones or disposable? i have not been able to find disposable ones anywhere! but then those drooling mongoloids behind the counter are rarely helpful. if disposable where did you get it???

Got that whole set up from BigJim..the K and N is too tall.

 

BTW..we have it running...has a loud tap/knock..and needs some adjustments to the carb...but fires up with little effort and otherwise sounds good....smoking like a mad man though

Like a chimney - will do that till the water boils out....
