After turning my 4 hour repair job into a month long excursion, I finially started her up tonight.

When I replaced the cylinder head I was excited as hell when I went to start it up.

Tonight I was scared ****less, nervous, and my hands were actually shaking.

I hope nothing bad happens

 

Best of luck! if your anthing like me you'll need all the luck you can get.

 

Good luck, man.

 

You of all people need a break.

Good luck man!

 

Good luck man

 

What's the problem you have now?

 

Broke the timing cover, Hope all goes well 72

 

You really do need a break... If I was you, I would have already torched it and bought a Minivan.

 

Finished the cylinder head replacement in late Feb.
Tie rods got replaced a week before our meet and greet.
Got back and the manifold started leaking.
Thought it was cracked but it wasnt, but figured I'd replace it anyways.
Had the car completely filled with fluids and back together, started and heard a nasty ugly sound.
Snapped the idler pulley, and a chunk of timing chain cover off.

Put 8 miles on it this morning. Runs good, and I don't think it's leaking anything yet.

 

Yet.... [8D]


I bet you're good.. Now it's time to sell your's and get a Cobra..
