4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010

[4g63tcrazy]

I'd be very leary of using a head gasket after it blew, no matter what kind of gasket it is.

I have heard of people re-using MLS gaskets after just pulling a head (not blown), but never heard of someone re-using a blown gasket.

The headgasket did not blow, I warped the head. I warped it so bad when I took the final last 4 studs out (all 4 corners) you could hear the head lifting/peeling off the gasket. I also overheated it, then drove the car 5 mins back home, with a perfectly fine coolant temp. So there was no real abuse on the gasket's end.

I am loving that engine bay. Looks like some attention to detail went into it. Good work!

Thanks! Tonight I took some time removing the engine harness. I got it out and started taking out some of the connectors I wont be using. Then I'll wrap it back up and decide where to run it.

Even still, I would not re use a gasket that was even pushing coolant. That means there's some kind of flaw in some area. You can't tell me that it didn't damage the gasket at all.

dont be a cheap ass and buy a new HG. I would never use a HG that has pushed coolant over even though it is a mls. I have reused my mls HG's over and the arps without problems but never pushed or overheated

on a 2nd note I have told you a few times that I still have the center cap for the last rim if you want it. we are moving into our new house on the 1st so if you want it let me know or it will be trashed

Maybe I should finally get that from you huh? PM me with a quote for shipping and I'll paypal you the money.

Well lately I have been messing with the wiring harness. I removed it from the car and opened it up. I removed all the wires that went to things I won't be needing anymore.

Here's all the wires I took out.

Box full of electrical tape and wire loom plastic crap.

Got everything sorted out.

Taped it all back up.

I plan on running it through a new hole and I'll weld up the original one. The harness will sit down and run along the crossmember. At least that's the plan for now til I actually put it in and see what I'm working with.

damn...wire harness job looks amazing man. Is it time consuming/headache to do a wire tuck?

looks like someone has been following 123abc's thread. Looking good

Thanks! It's very time consuming and if you don't know wiring very well it can be a huge headache. For some reason I've always enjoyed wiring and electronics so it isn't all that bad.

We bounce a lot of idea's off eachother. :)

I started installing the wiring harness today. Here is what I got so far:

I mounted it along the back of the crossmember and then the wires for the MAF and fuse box will be ran along the frame rail.

I plan on repainting the whole firewall once I get everything sorted out.
