As long as you plug the hole from the intake i dont think it matters about the other line but for safty yea it should work

 

[jd4242]

ok would anyone have some spare retaining clips for the ends laying around? the post hit it and broke it before i noticed

besides that. everything look good?

Hey you put those rockers on backwards! !!

 

[Xeek]

well yea, i knew that one lol. wasnt sure on the cab one tho

i plan on using this space to try and mount an aux fuse box and a compressor. air tank will be where the spare tire went

 

[Xeek]

are you serious!? i knew it was a 50/50 shot but from this pic it looked like they went that way

that little notchon the feet things the bolts go in was on the valve side in that pic :/


edit: yea i think im right... look at the left one, the top is flat and the bottom has the curved area

 

[jd4242]

O idk i was just messn with you!!hahah

 

[Xeek]

see if you get poptarts now.... lol

 

[jd4242]

Hahhaha

 

[Xeek]

got em both together, besides the clip on one end brandons gonna send me.

question, 2 rockers on both assemblies dont lift up hardly at all on the valve side compared to the other 8. the pushrod side they all go all the way. is this not good?

 

[Xeek]

so much for the torch... i couldnt figure out howto light it, tried everything it just didnt produce a light. then i turned it back off and the knob came off(in the off position)


edit: tried what another friend suggested. socket and breaker bar, give a good couple wacks, crawl out and spray with pb blaster, go back under and loosen. its working! i got one bolt off each side. 3rd on drivers side(one i was drilling through) i accidentally tightened now its not loosening, 4th is just hard to get to, trannys pipes and cat flange. time to go back out there

Glad to see those headers worked out for you. Didn't realize they were the same ones till I the end of the thread and saw your name.

 

[Xeek]

yea. dont remember what you had them in? mustve been a 2nd gen or something cause the o2 sensors. gotta redo those, i only need one apparently. theyre still listed in your sig for sale btw (unless thats diff ones)


well, the y-pipe is off!!!! no torch, just stuck the breaker bar on them and beat them down, pb blaster, then unscrewed them. all this *****ing and whining about them and in the end they came off pretty easy :/

now that you have brakes jd, come help me so i dont break a rib unbolting the tranny. me and you may have to lift the engine out by hand if this guy doesnt get me a hoist lol (i have poptarts and beer)
or does anyone from here know a store that will rent a hoist?

 

[jd4242]

Wow i dont think you got enough beer or poptarts for us to be able to pick an engine up!!!

 

[Xeek]

well if everything gets stripped off itll be lighter lol

 

[jd4242]

Hell no still wouldnt happen! !

 

[Xeek]

any chance you got yours back yet? and is it me or are the ac lines gonna be in the way?

 

[jd4242]

Nope my dads buddy still has it and its not an easything to move around,its HUGE!! i would take them out

 

[Xeek]
