On that note I will not have the heads milled

Yeah I was going to get every timing component brand new. I wasn't nice to this thing the first two years I had it lol. Bought it in 2018 with 51,000 on it and only drove it in the summer but still managed to put 10,000 miles a year on it.

Thank you guys for the info, I wanted to pull the heads to do a full hardware refresh and port them as well. I've seen some videos on it and I'm confident I can do it correctly, it'll be time consuming but not hard work. The other thing I just thought about was MAYBE having the heads milled to...

I got a set of FRPP hot rod cams and I'm going to install them this winter but need to do a few things while I'm in there. On startup after the car has sat for a few days I get a puff of blue smoke so I most likely need a set of valve seals. The car just hit 100k miles so since I'll have it...

I wanted to give an update on the situation because I feel like it owe it to you guy's for all of the input and help I've been given (I really like and appreciate this forum.) I've had no time over the past three months because I got layed off, picked up a job and ended up fucking hating it and...

I got in the car this morning and drove it to work, literally 5 miles in the MIL came back on and I got the codes again lmao. At work right now so I can’t do anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Appreciate the info, I did this when I was getting ready to bolt everything back up. When it’s sitting there idling it has a gap that I can see between the headers and frame rail but once it gets past 2,500 to 3k rpm it’ll hit the frame rail. The motor mounts are original so they’re probably...

I wanted to follow up with an update on this topic. I disconnected the battery and let everything reset, then when I was going to drive the car I started it and let it warm up until it was at full operating temp. I did this every time before I drove it no matter what, so far I've driven it 400...

Thank you for giving so much input, I really appreciate it. I have access to livelink gen 2 through the sct x4 I have but I’ve never really used it at all. I’ll hook it up after I get the battery connected and I’ll mess around on there and see what I can find. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We’ll i looked under the car and I have the o2’s where they should be… not sure what to look at right now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok when I get off of work today I’ll check the o2’s and see what I have going on. I know they’re the correct ones cause I remember those part numbers on the boxes. Fingers crossed that they’re just backwards. I’ll give an update around 7-8 ish tonight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah that’s why I was like what the fuck cause the I got all brand new o2 sensors and all of them but one are stock length with no extensions. So I’m hoping I just accidentally reversed the upstream and downstream locations. If I’m still getting the code I’ll get it tuned sooner. Sent from my...

I was planning on taking it to my tuner to have a new dyno tune out on it because I went from the bbk long tubes with shitty high flow cats to the kooks mid length header with “green” cats. I pulled out about 3 feet of o2 extension wires and only have a 6” extension on the passenger side so I...

Car runs a lot better for sure, no misfiring but I did get a P0133 and P0153. Bank 1 sensor 1 and 2 slow response, I’m assuming that I reversed the upstream and downstream sensors because the NTK ones I got were specifically for a certain position but my dumbass forgot to write it down. Before I...

Just wanted to add that you can get OEM boss 302 brake lines front and rear from American muscle for $100. If you’re just street driving they’re fine. Might as well upgrade those while everything’s apart in my opinion but you could use the brake lines you have now if you’re trying to do this on...

Good info, when I get a chance I’ll look more into this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You either need spacers or a wheel that has a +45 offset to clear the big brakes. I had chrome 18” bullet wheels and they didn’t clear.

Ok my buddy ended up getting it by almost laying on top of the radiator but it’s done. I owe him some beer for that one lol. The driver side is a two person job if you’re like me and have short ass arms. Just need to button everything back up and it should be good to go for the spring.

Ok passenger side is completely done and was pretty easy. I’m stuck on the driver side… all top bolts are in easy and so are the front two. But the second to last bolt towards the firewall looks literally impossible to get on… my friend came over and it took both of us to get the bolt lined up...

I think I'm going to end up using the kooks gaskets with the copper spray, if they leak then I'll go OEM. As far as no vacuum leaks go I might be ok but I'm not sure. I'm running the jlt series 3 and I noticed when I took the intake off on Tuesday that the 90° fitting on the bottom of the intake...

Yesterday I sprayed all of the upper bolts with free-all and didn't do anything else. Today after I got home from work I jacked the car up and sprayed all of the lower bolts. I then said fuck it and pulled the starter while I was under there and then removed all of the upper bolts. I'll be...

I've been in the mood to work on something but I don't want that feeling to turn into "why the fuck am I doing this" so I was just asking if its really that big of a hassle to do it in the garage.

If I didn't have to deal with E-check I'd just have the rear o2s turned off. I tried that and they wouldn't pass the car because it gives a code for I think catalyst monitoring system readiness test not complete.

Where I live I have to worry about E-check, not only do they look under the car for the cats but they scan it too. The bbk headers are a lot longer than the kooks which puts the cats way far back, like under the driver seat. This is causing issues with them getting up to temp and other shit...

Thanks, I didn't even take that into consideration with the bolts. I'd guess the kooks has a thicker flange but I don't know so I'll measure it when when I get home.
