Mine's going to the track (Nat'l Trail) tomorrow.

In my garage I now have:

• 1-pint of Permatex Teflon paste
• 2 sets of unused GM Head Gaskets
• 16 sets of blown head gaskets (various makes)
• A 1/2" and a 3/8" torque wrench.
• 1-pint of High Temp Anti-Sieze.
• 1 can Right Stuff-style RTV (for intake ends)
• 2 7/16"X14tpi Taps
• 1-Quart of Acetone

All just for changing head gaskets.

Yes, I go this down to a science...but, boy do I dread doing it.

 

[T-top87GN]

Scott's right. We can do HG's just about anywhere. Well, actually, I think we have done them just about everywhere. Not something you want get really good at if ya know what I mean.

 

[machinegun]

Yep looks like it. I am having fun though. No rush just enjoying it. Scott if you ever need help call I am there. Anybody wants to show up saturday well I will be in the garage. I wish I had know it in columbus, we could of had 5 guys thrashing and been done with it before dinner time. I could see the cops showing up with us looking like a top fuel team. reminds me, where is the video of us gettin busted?

 

[T-top87GN]

About the video.....well Taylor didn't film it right. The camera was off when he thought it was on and Vice-Versa

Anyway, I won't be able to make it up to help you tomorrow but if you get stuck and have a question give me a call.

Also, is that offer still open on the Translator?

 

[machinegun]

Should be, I have not gotten it back from them yet. I just looked at another GN as a daily driver. No prblems as HG's are easy to do. The only problem is you have to have 2 of them. As an idiot I only ordered one. Off to summit to get another one. You will have to come to the the 2nd annual CHG. I am sure their will be more in the future. It happens.

 

[re-evaluating]

I got your back Jim

I got one for you Jim just stop by on the way from work I can fix you up.. You can replace it when you get a chance, mine will be a while before it comes together. Dave

 

[machinegun]

You da man sir. Looks like we will be pulling the engine anyhow. Have a really weird looking mark on the number 5 hole that re evaluating saw that I missed at 1:30 in the morning on thursday. Will have to have the block checked out.

 

[T-top87GN]

What?!? What kinda mark? Can you take a pic? Looks like I might be driving up your way to lend a hand. I've got htis week off, but I also have a list of honey-do's as long as my arm. Send me a PM for my phone number Jim. We'll see what we can do.

I'm ripping mine apart today. My minior header crack has turned into a gaping hole, car lags so bad, sounds horrible.

Hoping to have it back together before Friday.
