bleeder....is that a Spectra radiator......looks exactly the same as mine.....i noticed it sits high like mine too....

and yeah.....i'm not one to poke fun since your's is running and mine isn't, but the rust........oy!

and where the hell is all the stuff from over your valve cover? i have a million things and you have 1.

 

lol, yeah I noticed that in your pics it looked like the same radiator

and the crap on top of the valve cover being hidden, well, that was all part of the master-plan

 

yeh, i even looked to see what year your's was, but 91 versus 92 should have all the same crap.

spectra from Jcwhitney...couldn't beat it.....had a heart attack finding a radiator cap though and had to make some relief cuts in my hood framing to allow the hood to close because it all sits up probably a good 1'' higher than it used to.

that "master plan" of your's, i'll be hittin' you up for some info. that whole ton of across the top is THE most daunting part of this and casuing hesitation to start this, that and that i keep reading about don't mess up the timing cover bolts because they are different lengths.

YOTA-Porn......never get sick of it.

 

ya know....looking at your picture ,it just looks like the same size black tubing over and over.......did you just buy like 30 feet and cut it as you needed it. Very TIDY job.. I like that alot.

 

looks like that new motor has no problem pulling those tires around...or burning them upo a little for that matter. You notice any pull gains with a tight new motor going up grades or long hills?

 

oh yes actually, good pull even in 5th!

I have definately noticed that the little hills and inclines it use to struggle in, it now has no problem powering through

 

hold on there are hills in this state?????



heheh

 

why yes there is, that 520 bridge I go over every time on the way to MI


and oh yes, that birdge kills a stock 22re in 5th, lol

 

I am in 3rd gear when I get that last stop light

And that new 528 bridge is insane it just keeps goin up

 

I don't take 528 too much, but I'll have to try it out and see how she handles

most of the time when I go to MI, I'm going to the mall, usually the movie theator there, which is right off 520 as you know went and seen Orphan last Friday there with the GF; the movie was alright, but being able to finally drive the Toy there and back is AWESOME! lol

 

yeah that bridge would be a good test for the truck

and that movie looked scary as hell I hate scary movies

 

lol, oh it wasn't all that bad

had a good twist to it on the end that neither one of us were expecting

 

What ever you do avoid the new "Last House On The Left" all about turned it off. I love scary and suspenseful movies...

On that note glad to see that you got it all buttoned up and running well.

 

Just thought I'd throw in an update

I noticed something last night while cruising across town...

The 261 cam falls on it's face at about 5k RPMs, lol

but between 1500 and 4500, OMG!!! That Honda had no idea what hit him at the light

 

haha, awesome dude

 

I could never have put my truck back together without your excellent pre teardown pics.You rock bro

 

Hey man no problem!

That's the reason I took so many; not just to help myself out, but to help out any others diggin in that far!

Thanks for the thanks!

 

Honestly, you finding out the tps bolt size made me fix everything that was wrong with my engine this weekend. thanks Travis

 

Glad I could help


on a side note, LOOK AT THESE I FOUND!!! I WANT ONE FOR MY VALVE COVER!!!
