Heads are on!

Next step is getting cams installed, then my buddy Turbo2vGT is coming over Tuesday to time it for me, and after that it should be all uphill from there... At least I HOPE lol.

Working on getting rear end reinstalled. Pinion is in, just need to get a 3/8 to 1/2 step up adapter (again) and get the preload set. Then throw the carrier in, attach the axles, and reinstall brakes and rear wheels. Hoping to have it on the road by Wednesday or Thursday... We'll see fellas... We'll see...

Hell yea dude . You just kicked into high gear lately too dude . That's good to see , I bet ur excited to get it going again

 

[KillNThrill24]

Thanks man. Yeah it just seems to be that time of year. Everybody is getting the motivation we need to get our shit done. Hell look at your car man, your almost there!

I've been doing a little research and it would appear I need a special tool to install the cams on this thing.. Any idea if the local auto joke stores rent the tool I need?

 

[belber095]

better hope so [MENTION=16906]KillNThrill24[/MENTION] ;D

 

[Musturd]

I've got the tool. My buddy at that works at brown bros ford says there junk and uses some other shit I can't remember what . When I cammed my old shit box and pulled that thing out he got all mad was like why did you buy that

 

[KillNThrill24]

I'm reading of people using just a 3/8 extension and breaker bar with the press on cam gears (like I have) but can't get anywhere else on it. There's no real clear directions on cam installs. I feel noobish but this is my first time dickin with cams, and I chose a SOHC to do it on. Only other thing I did was changed the timing belt on my sisters turdscort. Didn't even think about it when I was doing it but it was cake. Now you toss in changing the cams, getting them in the right position, then getting the chains and shit all ready to go.. Just seems tough without clear instructions.

Like I don't have to sweat the chains and shit because when my buddy comes over he'll do that and I'll pay attention so I know what he's doing, but I need to get these cams installed.. And can't for the life of me find somewhere that says "do this, then this, then this" But I'll keep looking

[KillNThrill24]

Haha I wish it were that easy Belb. Fawk I hope I can do this without that stupid tool. Otherwise I'm waitin another few days...

Yes sir the blood is flowin and I'm ready to get it back on the road already. It's been too damn long

 

[KillNThrill24]

Got some shit done today.. Now it's time for work

Pinion preload set, driveshaft in

This bich assembled, with the one lucky bolt... Good thing I kept some of the old bolts for it when I got new ones

Aaaaaand because anyone who works on cars know's that losing 10, 13, and 15 happen way too often.. I got another one of these. Hopefully I'll keep better track of them lol

 

[KillNThrill24]

Got some work done today fellas.. Wasted an hour trip to, and hour trip home and all the diesel combined, to go to Summit and back. Because I picked up the wrong tool for installing the rocker arms lol.. But other than that, big shoutout to Turbo2vGT for coming over and getting my ***** timed for me, and showing me how fukkin easy it really is.. And I also got my timing cover painted, and partially installed with some of the pulleys. Were getting there boys... Not too much longer now...

Also painted this, gotta wetsand it tho it looks pretty bad as of right now

Here's where it sits as of right now

And today before I took off to Summit I installed this bad boy.. Holy fak I can NOT keep my foot out of the pedal... Musturd straight pipe yours and install one of these my dud. I swear it sounds soooo effin badass you just have no idea till you do it. Takes the truck a few cycles to get used to it but man when it does...

 

[Musturd]

I've got this .

 

[KillNThrill24]

I've been reading that oiling those filters is a no no.. So if you didn't already know that, don't oil it. And if you ever get tired of it switch to the 6637 from riffraff, it's like $90 with shipping

But the straight piping is like a ****in orgasm everytime I hit the gas pedal man. I swear to you that is probably the best sound you can get out of those things

 

[Musturd]

Yea I'm getting a afe to go with my intake manifold and yea I don't oil it just clean it

 

[KillNThrill24]

That sounds awesome man but expensive too. Aren't the AFEs $380?
