I've been driving the car around daily and everything seems fine. I have a video if it idling and little rev. I just wanted yall to see it and tell me how good of a job i did and make sure everything sounds okay as far as you can tell.

a couple things i've noticed is, 1. i have an exhaust leak. 2. the headers (which i painted with that header paint) cool off VERY FAST. 3. minor oil leak at the lower pan for some reason. 4. i know gas prices are rising but this thing seems to guzzle gas

glad to see its running good

 

looks/sounds so stock! that's an official sleeper now..props man! now go break some all motor 1/4 mile records

 

thanks. needs a 5 speed though..hopefully this/next week.

 

what othr 5spd parts do u need

 

i need a brake pedal, a control rod for the shifter...i think i need a shift bushing too but im a little in the grey about that whole assembly. i heard you can run a straight line from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder instead of messing with all those hydrolic hard lines, is that true? i want to simplify this swap and get it done asap.

 

Did you say your paint burned off your headers? B/c that's what happened with mine. Damn paint started to sizzle. Its flaking off now.

 

it started chipping off whe ni was installing them in like 2 spots. they didnt spread too big though. I think i should have sanded the surface down before applying the paint. I think its okay though, the rest seems to be baked in there good...it was smoking when i had the car running because i think thats part of the process to "break the paint in"
doesnt do it anymore

 

Yep. Mine was smoking too.
