    Starting on my motor

    Dang VibrantRedGT Thats very impressive, you have a very nice machine. Did any of your wire hiding involve lengthening any of the harnesses? I'm assuming you rerouted a lot into the fenders, you just take the splash shields out to get access? I would like to make the engine bay a lot less...

    Starting on my motor

    The plan is just to pull the motor, replace the leaking rear main seal and oil oan gasket and paint it to make it look nice.

    Starting on my motor

    It was both the intake and exhaust springs on one cylinder, I could spin them while they were on the head. This piston didnt look messed up at all and honestly I think I can see some crosshatching on the walls which leads me to believe its been rebuit. I didnt reall get a good look at anything...

    egr question
