well got it all bak to order ( i think any way ) was a bit to late to fire her up tonight since i have no tail pipe and all the kids are asleep. tomorrow will be judgment day!
well hell got her fired today and ran a bit. drove like a champ ( until i got home ) !!!!! pulled her back into the garage and found out that i had an oil leak coming from both valve covers. gasket slipped during install. got em fixed and again to the test drive.. all was fine till i was bout to but the hood on and damn near fell on my ass cuz of more oil. the gasket on the right side slipped again.:furious: so now one more day i get to waist getting it all right one more time. at least i know the work i have done on the heads was good just got some tweeking to do and getting my tail pipe fixed now. this was the first start up with the new heads in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoY83r796nI
well got the oil leak fixed i had to get a new gasket. and why i was at it i went ahead and fixed my sway bar links. the old links ( the one on the right side had snapped ) the new links so at the end i still have the hood off for now but it will be back on in the morning. with some help of my dad and 5 yes i said 5 case's of this i got it all done and now i am back onto the mods!!!!!
