    Wrong engine and Keep right

    I have checked the block with a straight edge and it is all good to go, besides I am not using a MHG. The 1G isnt really known for blowing a headgasket like the 7M.... we just spin bearings when the oil gets a little low haha. Also I cant get the other dowel out and I dont feel like screwing it...

    Got a chance to work on the car last night since the weather is nice. I had ordered a MKIII clutch master cylinder in hopes it would work since the Soarer one is no longer available. The MKIII one fit perfectly to the firewal and the clutch pedal, it shares all the dimensions from the firewall...

    Since I will be waiting for the head to get finished I figured I would work on the "free" stuff. Fixed some of the fins on my oil cooler and I also start to remove the vampire clamps from my F-CON harness. I will be placing another order with Driftmotion here soon for some fueling parts. Start...

    Not long, it was a high strung motor so it always idled to temp before driving it.

    Want to make some changes to my AK need advice.

    They make different safeties for different rifles, I had just assumed yours was a Yugo. Look in to the Fuller rear sight for the AKs, best iron I have used on these rifles.

    I monitored oil temps with the standalone on the Mustang, never had an issues but I spun the car hard compared to the 1G

    Want to make some changes to my AK need advice.

    Whos top rail cover is that? I run Parabellum Armaments AKARs top cover that is super solid and always returns to zero when you break the AK down. I beat up an old WASR10 with one and I hand no issues, I actually bent the reciver before the rail system ( WASRs are soft compared to other stamped...

    I was going to just loop the hoses and leave the factory cooler there with my remote filter adapter over top the factory cooler. I will be up a thermostat for my cooler, I ran a cooler on my last Mustang with no thermostat but it was fine but that is apples to oranges I suppose.

    Even in summer temps? I hope the one used in the 1G matches the threads Titan sells

    FOr the guys running oil coolers, do you leave your factory "cooler" coolant line hooked up? I am remote mounting my filter and adding a cooler in the bumper.

    Bolt on Big Brake Kit For around 300$.

    I really want to try these even though I have a Cobra brake setup sitting here already, much more piston on these. I just hope they would fit my Sterns

    I miss the good old days

    I dont use Facebook anymore and prefer forums, usually delta bravos are run off from forums very quickly compared to FB. I am trying to be active on this forum and post constant pictures of my build even if it isn't interesting

    So far I like the motor, just finding stuff for it sucks. Can not wait to hear it with an open dump tube

    I really appreciate it! I found one for a GE motor but it was different in appearance. I had asked Curt Agner from SF and he pointed me to Nigel-JDM Parts who found the cap for me. I should probably just go with coil on plug haha

    I have tried a few US Toyota dealers and they say there is 1 left here in the states but it doesnt actually exist. I have also tried a Japanese distributor and it is the same story, the cap I have just not the rotor. ALso on the head gaskets the 1G isnt know for blowing them, they are known...

    Yes I am, push comes to shove I will have Cometic do a copper gasket with a wire ring in it already instead of o-ringing the block. Hard part is finding the parts to source, even where the car was sold there isn't much as far as aftermarket and when you do find them no one wants to import...
