Re: Spartan GL's (02/02/2012) PG 28 Brake Setup photos! and New Grillz

Current Status: Brake HARDLINES came in the mail last week... have been sitting in the back of my malibu.
Engine is still at the Machine shop, they said they needed alittle more time i should be picking it up tomorrow afternoon or tuesday latest.

and to top it all of my ****ing Malibu broke down on me the other day... Started overheating (had enough time to pull over just as it hit the Red..

Coolant is leaking out of somewhere near the rear exhaust manifold i suspect Lower intake manifold gasket... or prehaps heater core hoses?
waiting till morning to go and try and fix that first..

LIM is prolly the culprit. Best bet is to put an L67 in there. XD

And the day you do actually get the Engine back, I want bajillions of pictures.

Anything else special planned for the build?

fill it with water and if you can't tell with it running where its coming from squeeze the upper rad hose and you should be able to see it.

all of the hoses were replaced last month.. they are brand new so i know its not the hoses
 
Re: Spartan GL's (02/02/2012) PG 28 Brake Setup photos! and New Grillz

No i'm saying just squeeze the hoses to put a little pressure on the cooling system to see if you can see where its leaking.

The status hasn't changed....

My friend is out of town with the keys to my shop has been for the past week.

Machine Shop wants me to come in on monday and check the progress but said it wouldnt be ready.. i honestly have no ****ing idea why they are taking so long.

breaks havent been started back on since the last update.
 
Re: Spartan GL's (02/02/2012) PG 28 Brake Setup photos! and New Grillz

Machine shops are never on schedule, my dads small block for the Chevelle was at the shop for a couple of months before he got it back.
 
Re: Spartan GL's (02/02/2012) PG 28 Brake Setup photos! and New Grillz

yeah but they have had it for 2 months...

they shouldn't of waited on the crankshaft for a month and a half to start the rest
 


Re: Spartan GL's (02/02/2012) PG 28 Brake Setup photos! and New Grillz

Engine is about out of the machine shop.

I lost access to that sweet shop i was borrowing (Buddys boss said i can't use it right now because he has something going on)
