well i rlly dont need anything but the head casting with the valves and springs installed...but i figure fuck it i can do some paintwork on this spare cover..
well we got the top end gasket kit in...but still have not been able to get the spark plug out...
what happened was the actual plug broke out of the plug threads..so were left with a half assed spark plug threaded in the head...with no porcelain.last resort is to drill it out and tap it
tried it yesterday..didnt work...were gonna attempt to get a drill bit that will just barely catch the inside..and see if we can get it to tighten a little to break loose the rust..then we will revers it and use the easy out...but idk...worst case scenario im hoping is that we have to drill it out and re-tap...if not machine shops makin some money off us
well with the head off the car it may be a little tough to get enough leverage on it.... if you can get that thing up to me this weekend im sure we could get it up, i can bolt it to my spare block on the engine stand.
everything went back together without a problem..started the car up and every single spark plug was loose...so tightened em back up..started the car..they all came loose again..so figured out that the spark plug socket we had wasnt fitting all the way in the head and the plugs were just barely getting tightened..bought another and still the same thing..so basically cant get the plugs to tighten enough to stay in the head...whats wierd is its not a 5/8...its 13/16ths...so idk
idk i went out and pulled them all back out..put some oil on the threads(just a little to get them lubed) and thread them back in..they felt smoother and tightened up..but we will see when we start it
cars been running fine ever since..did the front brakes.made an intake from some piping i had laying around.and now tossing around wheel ideas.
1.paint the lip of the wheel to match the color of the car
2.paint the lip of the wheel flat black and put a coat of flake over the op of it
3.paint the entire wheel white.
4.paint the entire wheel ____________.(fill in the blank..we need ideas)
