Dujo Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hope it fits through the doorway. Turn it sideways if you have to. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTris Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Clean those timing covers! If you have air and a die grinder, get a cheap soft brush and make those babies shine -- you'll thank yourself for it later when you find yourself opening the hood to show off to everyone.

Turkeylord Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hope it fits through the doorway. Turn it sideways if you have to. Good luck!Yup, it's a straight shot up the stairs and out the back door, shouldn't be an issue. Clean those timing covers! If you have air and a die grinder, get a cheap soft brush and make those babies shine -- you'll thank yourself for it later when you find yourself opening the hood to show off to everyone. Thats not a terrible idea. Bling has never been a priority, but I should clean them up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTris Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Bling shouldn't be a priority, but, looking back now, I would have taken more time to clean things before they went in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
