the "leak" was actually breake cleaner burning off... and i didn't have the dipstick in.. lol im a dipstick. some oil was splashing out of it.

hey, at least i didn't pull a tony and have oil coming out my bov.

 

[94RedSiGal]

Don't forget to get a dipstick with a longer handle and without any rubber coating to melt off...

 

[posol]

bah, its fine. it doesn't touch... and after running for a half hour, the top was still cold to the touch... its not conducting heat like the manifold does - which by the way is WARM

 

[brian11to1]

just warm? lol... so very glad to hear the cars running. Didnt you get new wheels, will you post or PM pics of the new wheels.

ran her for probably 30 min straight

Aren't you idling it too much for a brand new motor? It's gonna need to be broken in hard really soon now.

Don't forget about Motoman!

Finally getting off your lazy ass and finishing the sol after a year:
priceless

Theres some things in life money can buy....for everything else, use ji...

i'm glad you got her running B...I had a mean feeling that after ji went to your house those few weeks ago, we would soon see the sol running...

 

[brian11to1]

the engine had 3K miles on it when Brian got it. So I doubt it needs to be "broke in" maybe the clutch.

brian did you ever post the details of the engines internals?

 

[asmallsol]

HOLY SHIT! B great to here you actually got here finished.

Have someone weld up a dump tube for you. I bet you'll get flames to shoot out the side of your car.



Did you fix the alternator?

Is your interior still a mess?

When you coming to michigan?

Mmmkay.... I just remember that it wasn't easy to check your oil levels without getting burned by the manifold.

HOLY SHIT! B great to here you actually got here finished.

she's far from finished.... but shes drivable now.

Have someone weld up a dump tube for you. I bet you'll get flames to shoot out the side of your car.

its on my list to do, but not a priority...
and flames coming out of the wastegate = bad. if that happens, im firing my tuner.

Did you fix the alternator?

yup. cut it off, replaced it...
but it loosened up last night on the ride... gotta re-tighten it down... use a little more torque on the tensioner bolt.

Is your interior still a mess?

yup... like i said its far from finished.

When you coming to michigan?

probably never. lol

I thought it had been rebuilt.

it along with the clutch had 3k on it before i bought it.

You need to get a video, Of that shit running

Mmmkay.... I just remember that it wasn't easy to check your oil levels without getting burned by the manifold.

[Seany-izzle]

way to go.

 

[ScrapinSi]

are the cams brand new? If they are, you actually should run the car at 2500-3000 rpms for 20 minutes when you first start it, and avoid idling the car for long periods of time for the first 500 miles.

 

[posol]

nope, stock b16 cams from 10 years ago or so... far from new

 

[Loco Honkey]
