InfO.

 

Looks purtty..is that a rusty pump pulley over there?

 

im looking to do this soon. well the plenum at least. have you taken it for a ride and noticed any improvements?

 

Shhhhh! You see nutttiiinnnnggg! ;o)

I have to pull that, clearly, and clean it up. Still a LOT of cleaning up to do.

Brian,

It's not together yet... what you see in that picture is literally how it looks. So nope...

Looking nice! Mind if I ask what you are using for that red paint?

 

It's an anodized red paint, but I'm not recommending it. Despite sand blasting, sanding, priming, ground coating, then painting, then clear coating... they chip like no tomorrow. It'll all go in for powder coating in time, but I need my truck back like... a month ago.

On a side note - suggestions on getting the harmonic balancer back on easily? I'm thinking of just using an impact gun on the bolt to force it back in. thoughts?

I rented this from Auto Zone:
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...ier=93699_0_0_

Worked like a charm (well, after I fixed it from the last yahoo that rented it)

 

Crap... that was the last thing I was hoping to hear. I don't think there is a place to rent tools here in Fredericton, NB...

InfO.

 

When I was doing my research, there we're plenty of people that had used the bolt to push the balancer back on, and an equal number of people saying that was a "bad idea"...It seemed to come down to if you felt lucky or not. I didn't, hence the tool rental

I will say the tool wasn't too expensive, I think I could have purchased it for about $45US, but I couldn't see a situation that I would need it on a regular basis, so I just did the AutoZone tool rental thing.
