Re: Swifty's never-ending project thread!

Mowed the lawn, weedwacked, and etc. Then, pulled the engine apart, tore out the old POS cometic, hung it on the wall, and cleaned both block and head really well. While I was in there, I got some brake cleaner on a rag, and wiped down teh pistons really well, and got rid of all the carbon buildup that was there from before. Got a felpro permatorque, NO COPPER SPRAY, slapped it on there, and on went the head, along with misc etc. Also got the lower ic pipe to sit a bit better, and the comp cover a bit more rotated away from my radiator, so now I feel a bit better. Car is now done, and will fire up tomorrow morning (don't wanna piss the neighbors off right now). Torn, fixed, all in a day. Easy enough of a problem to fix
