Man, I am stoked to see the end now haha. Awesome build!

 

i remember reading this thread when i first got my 350. good stuff, if you do hit up mineral wells, let me know... would love to see the beast alive

 

First off no update yet really... I ditched the overfenders I have for the front and rear and have some new ones being made fresh out of mold. Reason for this decision was due to available for replacement parts. Old overs were from NZ and would be hard to get spares so hooked up with a guy in the states.. So should have those soon.

Pics of the overs:

 

They look sick

 

A little tease on whats going on.. New Fenders are here..

 

Kind of looks like RB

 

Yeah the kit I have kind of looks like it.. Once I mount the fronts I will take full pics..

 

Here is a little tease of the fronts... Still have to get a alignment and get my fronts sitting at -4.5 camber.. Then I will add a spacer to finish her off... This just give you a idea.. Current front specs are 18x9.5 -22

If you look at my signature it clearly states how I feel about spacers.. Well since I built these wheels to go with my other fenders I will definitely have to get some spacers for these fenders, which I hate. I will eventually rebuild them so I wont have to run spacers but I guess I better remove my sig for now... lol

 

Gotta live what you preach

 

Or shame lol

Awesome updates

 

Just get em rebuilt ;p

 

I will once my second set of wheels get here.. and then I will send these out for rebuilt..

 

So did some measuring for my wheels and came to the conclusion that I will run 25mm spacers rear and 38mm Spacers front..

Also going to lower the rear some..





Also got my bolts in that I will be using for the overfenders.. Decided to get some clean burnt titanium ones..

 

Well this happen........





So pretty much the story is, I used my new Coolant refill system.. Everything looked good.. The next morning I see a little coolant puddle.. Looked at all fittings no leaks.. Than BAM!! found the leak at the rear of the head gasket.

So I am like how the hell did that happen.. So me being so trust worthy, I never questioned the gaskets that were given to me when I got the long block. Turns out my heads 806 have a notch in them and the MLS gaskets I have can some times (most of the time) cause a leak due to the notch in the heads.. With that being said we are suppose to use the graphite gaskets instead of the MLS ones I had.. So I had to change them..

Not fun but no worries easy fix...





So now head gaskets are changed and ready to wrap her up.. cross fingers soon.. lol

 

Got me excited

Nice to be able to change head gaskets that easily eh?

 

Sorry hopefully have some exciting stuff coming your way..


Also it is a easy, but a headache cause you have to remove everything. That sucks

 

Imagine doing that on a VQ

 

Doing head gaskets on a VQ is going to be a nightmare if/when the time comes -.-

Keep the updates coming bro!

 

Ain't nobody got time for that.

 

Just like Quinton said Nightmare


Thanks man..


Very true
