Day 3
day 3 was much more sucessful than day 2.
the moroso oil pan i have blows. the baffle doesn't clear the gsr's girdle. the pump doesn't clear the oem girdle....
i gave up, and just put the stock pan back on.
but, i took some underside pics of the motor... looks real clean inside... no signs of piston melts or anything...
but there was some copper shavings in the oem oil pan... i'm gonna have to keep an eye out on those.... get a mag. drain plug too.
gsr/quaiffe tranny is on.
but, the motor is on on all 3 hasport mounts as of 11pm tonight.
sisteve, jeef, bill, craig and my buddy mike all came over tonight and helped out some. had a good time.
here's the pics... i'll give some descriptions once i get to work.. i gotta shower up and get to work....
i tried to take some underside pics of the rods, but they really didn't get them very well. the rod bolts say ARP on them, so the Eagles do have the upgraded bolt kit. thank god... so, now the weakest link in my setup has been confirmed to be better... i'm feeling better about it.
here's a shot of the OEM pan/pickup/pump stuff....
the moroso stuff...
then, we fooled around a little bit. sisteve showed up in a hard hat. lol
here, we tried to drill the oem gsr girdle to fit the moroso pump, as the moroso baffle didn't clear the gsr crank girdle... well, that didn't work... so we just put the oem pan back on. i gotta see what's up with all that....
mad tite jdm pose.... naw, more to come
dropping the gsr in place....
