soon to be LZ2.3 521 :)

[uberkevin]

Look what I found.

[uberkevin]

Was grabbing a dip stick from a 77 620 and that was sitting in the bad.

Really shit was crazy!!! There was probably 100 fucking wasps right in the end of this and the end of a few other pipes.. picked it up real fast and hit it against the truck and out A nest went! Full of wasps

[uberkevin]

Sooo yes flatcat you'll be getting your down pipe back once I get all this together. And this also allows Chris to get my old non ribbed header and put it on his 620 and not be using yours.. haha

[flatcat19]

I was just gonna ask. Lol.


Shitty about the new gasket.
What are your other options?
Clocks ticking.

[Laecaon]

That's a felpro gasket... Looks like a standard l20b one. Wow...

[uberkevin]

Yeah standard..


I'm not really mad. I mean this is one guy that said he had used it.. not sure how it worked for him but I know it won't work for me soo.. I'll be doing exactly what sealik did.
Make sure I get a few z24 hg. I can pick them up for around 15 bucks. I need some tin snips and a new drill bit and a few boards the size of the gasket.
I'll you some wax paper in between the board.

[Laecaon]

I'm saying you talked to the one guy who would tell you anything to sell you anything he has. Its just further proof that I would never buy from him.

[flatcat19]

I've always been a bit leary about him/that place.

[uberkevin]

So here's my hole. 1/4


Here the hg hole 1/8..

[Laecaon]

Ok.

[uberkevin]

Is it fine being 1/8?

I mean I can make them bigger just nervous too haha the holes I have in the gasket now line up just right with the block. If it's fine then sweet. If you guys think I should jump up to 1/4 let me know.

[Laecaon]

I dont think they need to be enlargened. But I also may be thinking wrong. It is kinda a headache to enlargen the holes without say, a punch. So I would probably most likely leave it as is.

[uberkevin]

Thank you.. I will leave it I think, it's there and coolent can get past it. I'll enlarge the rear water port hole on the hg for the large non round hole on the block.

[uberkevin]

Blocks ready to be washed.. New freeze plugs getting installed here in a sec..

[uberkevin]

Then assemble with head and timing cover on..

Still need to blast the front cover.
A golf club for flatcat and my motor mounts.
Maybe the new mani... thinking about painting my rad the copper color the block is.

[flatcat19]

Yes. Grab this putter and clean it up!

I'm really starting to like that paint color.

[uberkevin]

The color jumped out at me as soon as I walked into the store. Painted a few things at home and then decide to paint the block. I like it.. perfect..

I'll be painting the valve cover the same. Alt mount Annnnd something else but I'm drawing a blank.

[uberkevin]

Oh and blue Ngks wires on the way.

[uberkevin]

Oh also put the dipstick on the passenger side of the block. L20b tube a stick.. Looks like the l16 tube is the same size.

[izzo]

yeah that burnt copper orange or whatever it is. i think justin red dickonsen used the same one on his LZ build.
