James (torbochargedpunkass) looks like...

He can do it.

as long as you do the bitch work im game

James really is the person I would suggest. Dude can do this laying down taking pictures with his eyes closed.

 

[SuperDaveGSE]

Now the big question, how much?

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

oh there's tons of bitch work

grab some Motormite/Help elbows and like 3+cans of brake cleaner (more if your fastidious about cleanliness like panda) and a cheep oil jug and what you normally use and two filters for the post install crankcase flushes, if your still on dex cool it'd probably be smart to flush it completly while your at it, i just bought a new jug of super 300 and i have plenty of silglyde so we're good there


mostly depends on how much of the bitch work you wanna do lol

 

[SuperDaveGSE]

I can do most of if not all the work, I need someone who has done this before to watch and make sure I don't screw anything up. Plus I'm not sure about the torque specs and the sequence for the bolts. I have limited tools so that's another reason I need someone who has done this before to help out.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

i have a nasty habbit of finding and wanting to fix other issues lol

for a regal guy ill whore myself out for pretty cheep

 

[skeezer]

400 bucks. Bring the car to James garage, you do bitch work. We drink and watch.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

im too slow and methodical for 400$

 

[skeezer]

500 bucks. Bring it to Rays garage. You do work. We drink more.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

book is only 4hrs that like 100-125 and hour labor rate lol, at least we care enough to do shit right though lol

 

[skeezer]

435 bucks. You bring beer and pie. You do work. James only allowed in garage for 1 hour.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

 

[daturbosix]

ill do it for 3 bills

 

[skeezer]

The undercut.

 

[SuperDaveGSE]

This what i have now...

This is whats going on...minus those fuel rails.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

how are the LIM gasket faces? they havent been "cleaned up" by a 3m roloc pad have they?

oh and dont forget a box of 100 good quality single edge razor blades (no autozone crap) for surface prep/cleaning

 

[SuperDaveGSE]

I just cleaned them off with a straight edge razor to get the old gasket material off.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

good good you can still see the oem machining/tooling marks in the area's away from the coolant ports?

 

[SuperDaveGSE]

I think so, I haven't looked at it since I painted it.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

good then it'll seal up much better, 3m scratchemtohell disks just destroy the surface RA which is pretty important on dynamic oring gaskets

 

[SuperDaveGSE]

Doesn't everyone plug those O-ring ports anyways?

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

i was refering to the LIM gaskets, for teh TB coolant delete, i have the tap and unless i gave em away the two plugs i use to plug em, i'll grab a couple anyways, then i enlarge the end coolant passage to restore rear bank coolant flow (i have a spare gasket for the end cover)

 

[SuperDaveGSE]

If there's a benefit to doing that then I'm good with plugging them up.
