Goodhart's budget beater 1g - Page 2

Jaei Sun · 12-09-2012

Are you planning the oil port modification on the 2g head? I've been planning doing the 2g head on my 1g as well. But am on the fence as everything is working fine with the car. Otherwise good luck with this project!

I'm not sure yet to be honest, I'll have to look more into it. I can't remember what it is for.

I still have to drill out the head stud holes and get it cleaned up, so I have plenty of time to figure it out.

It was to make sure the head gets sufficient oiling... the two posts on 'tooners:

Seems like a good thing to eliminate lifter tick, but it seems a guy would be filling catch cans pretty quickly with all that oil in the head. I wonder how it would work in conjunction with a Kiggly HLA, or if it would eliminate the purpose.

yep, the extra oil in the head if it was milled out too much, is why I'm on the fence. I'm thinking just a 3g lifter set and maybe cleaning up / polishing that oil feed area.

Total cost: 2.39 in gas from snowblower

Ha! Free ninety nine, used brother's snow blower!

That really doesn't look like it was fun!

Snow is almost all gone now thanks to the rain we got the other day, so I went out in the mud and got a little bit of work done.

Decided I'm not going to have A/C, not real important since it's not like it's a daily and I'm going for the whole lightweight thing.

I also ripped the nasty firewall padding off, and replaced the sweet Vatozone wiper nozzles with stock ones, but I didn't get any pictures. Hopefully in the next few weekends here it will warm up enough to get the car pulled onto the driveway and pressure wash everything. I also need to get a hoist for like 5 minutes so I can put my engine on the stand and finally tear into that.

Also, all but one line came out intact and in pretty good shape for the A/C stuff, if someone wants it, just send me a PM and we can set something up.

Looking good!!! Glad to see that car coming back to life. It looked nice when I got it then started tearing into it and just shaking my head at all the half assed stuff on it. I think I drove it 3x before it shit the bed on me and life/moving/buying a house got in the way of working on it. Oh well, glad you have a good budget project and hope your not cursing me for a headache!!!

**goodhart** · 03-31-2013

Not at all! I just needed something to slowly tinker with and eventually beat on on the weekends.

**goodhart** · 04-07-2013

Got the car back over to the house so I could do some cleaning and other small things yesterday.

Pressure washing the entire car, mainly the engine bay:

Even the little man was helping me out:

I also picked up some headlights a while back, so I replaced those today also:

Old ones were in ok shape, but really cloudy. I got a great deal on these, so I figured I'd just replace them instead of trying to buff them out.

Much better.

One last thing, I deleted the rear wiper. Need to find a 28mm plug now. There's a guy on t00ners that sells some for 2g's, I'm going to be contacting him today as well to see if they are the same size or if we can come up with something that works. I just put some duct tape over it for now so keep the rain out.
