P.S... daniela told me to tell u guys she looks very hott covered in grease from under the car... there, i told you guys

Sorry I can't help.

Just put my house up for sale today - realtor just stopped by for the keys.

I'm busy as hell this week w/ last minute house things.

Best of luck

sorry was busy as hell and forgot... next time ill be aroudn is tues night but wont be free till 10pm-ish, and weds prolly be down that way 10-11 for grease trucks...




need pics of this girl too BTW.

how are they coming along? id come but piscataway is a hike...x's parents live there...

i still have no legs

Almost done but the damn rain is putting me on a delay

all thats left to do...

*Reinstall Passenger side A.i.R tube.(easy)
*Driver side plug wires (not bad)
*Bolt up y-pipe (turning out to be a P.I.T.A)
*Reinstall Drier side A.I.R tube (DOSNT REACH! any ideas? and no, i didnt get the delete plates yet so i gotta make this work for now)
*Put dipstick tube back in


the bad news is yesterday i went back to the Doctors and now im in a real cast so progress is really slow.

i still have no back.

really, i do want to help out, but the ride would kill me. if you lived down here somewhere, within a half hour's drive, the job would be done.

good luck with the project.

UPDATE

A.i.R system problem has been remedied with brute force.
Headers bolts are all tight but one...

As soon as the rain stops, im gonna finishe tightening that one bolt, put passenger side plugs back in and she should be good to fire up. Tomorrow.... i deal with teh y-pipe


i gotta say, yes, its taking me a long time since im doin it with one hand but nig thanks to andrew and my friend mike for helping out saturday. I feel good that i didnt need to take it to a shop... so hopefully by tomorrow night, ill be able to cruise around...

thanks,

P.S BIG thanks to andrew for all his help

i vote for leaving the y pipe and catback off. my ears are still bleeding because i was half under the car when u started it

ok.. good news bad news

good news.
y-pipe went on and car was awesome.

bad news.
On the way to the summerset patriots game the driver side header gasket blew out.


so now my question.. where can i get gaskets? do i have to order them? i need them pretty quickly. ALso, can i just unbolt the header, slip out the old gasket and slide in the new one?

Well.... I don't know v8 header gaskets... but on my v6 I could just loosen the bolts, slide the gasket out and slide a new one in.

I hope that helps a bit

how the hell did you blow out a gasket? and yea you can just unbolt it and slip the new gasket in

it probably wasn't on correctly when you installed it. loosen it, slip in a new one.

ps- gm header gaskets are the best. just go to a dealer

just for the record i did not.. i repeat.. i DID NOT install the passanger side header and gasket. that was done when i wasnt there.

get the aluminum ones and some lockin header bolts. when i ahd the headers on my 83, every oil change i had to retighten the bolts

On my 96 SS I blew out a gasket and had to disconnect the y-pipe again to get the header to line back up properly after putting in the new gasket. If you're lucky you can just unbolt it and slide the old one out and new one in but be prepared to loosen everything back up if the header bolts don't go straight back in.

its the driver side lol.. the side you DID help on... just for the record

:doh: i didnt put the gasket on tho.. just got the beyotch up where it should be

What they said.....hit up the dealer, get gaskets, hope for the best....

gaskets went out on me because some of the bolts weren't tight enough. They would work their way loose. Picked up some OE gaskets and got a proper bolt set (hooker bolts sucked) and monkey tightened them. No leaks since. Good luck.
