Jon really saved me alot of money.I owe him for doing everything he has done.Looks nice

$130 is steep for what needs done. It takes me around 10~20 minutes to do one depending on whether the jaws need changed.

I'm going to see how well this header coating holds up and if its good I'll be sending the guy some stuff for my car.... Possibly stuff for the legacy too..

[robert 1980]

Im just amazed looking back at page one of the build.
And now how great everything looks, i can't wait to hear it again=)

[3400-95-Modified]

Yeah so am I, my garage isn't that clean anymore... LOL

[robert 1980]

Im sure my car will be done very soon.Then you can clean everything before winter
Or we can keep doing stuff to the car.And i'll keep paying you.lol

[3400-95-Modified]

How was it to get the crank scraper positioned correctly? Any trimming or filing required?

Sorry I missed this question before... I had to clearance the scraper on three of the rod areas, nothing too major though, did that and all was well, the rest was fine.

The wife does want her garage bay back soon... LOL and I need to do SOMETHING to my car this year. We can revisit some more in the spring/summer time when garage space isn't at a premium.

3400-95-modified, that is some of the cleanest work I had ever seen. That engine is sexy...can't wait to hear her lope then open up her might and fury.

This really is inspiring me to pull my block, get it tanked and spray a nice engine enamel. But I'll have to wait until I do the wot-tech turbocam swap.
