JmP6889928 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Just a small suggestion but maybe replace the front oil cooler line while the engine is out and you're doing everything else? Outstanding build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JmP6889928 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 ^^^^^What Bucko said. You can see in the photos that the front oil cooler line is rusty on the engine. MUCH better safe than sorry and it's a pain in the ass to change with the engine in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted June 30, 2013 Author I Donated Too Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Part in question was actually thoroughly inspected and it is all cosmetic - we took it into consideration of things that should be done but it was quickly determined the part is in fact sound. Just looks worse than it is by a long shot and we poked and scraped at it to be sure. It's actually not difficult to change later since we do have the lift - it would only have been a cosmetic fix. Update 2015 - I replaced the part as later I broke the original plastic radiator! I ended up putting a new oil cooler line on as John suggested. Cosmetic yes, but mine got worse through that next winter. Edited January 11, 2016 by sigmafour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a pain in the ass to have to deal with coolant on the bottom of the engine to change it. Might to pay to at least spray it with some Extend and then paint it to make sure it lasts.

I Donated Too sigmafour Posted June 30, 2013 Author I Donated Too Share Posted June 30, 2013 good plan and will probably do that. Honestly a rub down with some scotch pad will make it look a lot better. treat it and paint it. done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JermTheElf Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Fixed and drove this last night. God your steering wheel is in good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too sigmafour Posted July 11, 2013 Author I Donated Too Share Posted July 11, 2013 Thanks for all you have done to help Jeremy. The reason my steering wheel is in good condition is that it drives so fast that I panic and let go of the wheel covering my eyes until it slows back down.

I Donated Too sigmafour Posted January 11, 2016 Author I Donated Too Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) It'll probably have problems, you know dis. Oh yes Grant! How right you were! It had problems indeed. This story goes on... For those coming back to the thread or if you're here for the first time, please go to the start of this thread for an update of what's happened here and for the moment though, a video which was filmed in 2013 but only recently made available online.
