Newly painted Eyesore

[silentbutdeadly]

The guy I bought my car from had the motor rebuilt back to stock form and painted it chevy orange..LOL. Since I had the motor apart for an apparent blown HG I thought id take care of that eyesore and painted it a VHT Aluminum Silver.

Thanks, its not perfect but better than the orange it used to be.

 

[Pronto]

Orange? Whats with that....

 

[silentbutdeadly]

No clue, all I know is that I was getting tired of looking at it. Should look pretty good silver once everything is put back together.

Gbodyparts is where I got mine. Was super easy to install. I put it on long before the motor was out. What I found that works best was to take out the block fitting and screw the new line into the block first. Then with the turbo off the header loosely attach the other end to the turbo housing and mount the turbo back on the header. Brian sends the line with a new gasket as well. HTH

Looks good all silver....makes it easier to find oil leaks!

 

[silentbutdeadly]

exactly!!!! But hopefully I don't have anymore .

 

[Phoneguy]

exactly!!!! But hopefully I don't have anymore .

All you need to do to stop the leaks is........disconnect the turbo :biggrin:

Thanks for that. I ordered one from Brian last night. The engine is out of the car so it should be an easy installation.
