Re: My Engine rebuild
I actually don't know what heads they are... how bad is that?
What a generous club! I'll keep you all posted!
I have gt40 intake. Are the heads a plug and play operation? I'm inclined to do what cheapest at this point... I gotta stop the wallet bleed!

Re: My Engine rebuild
If your motor is stock then E7s should be ok. One of my sets have crane roller rockers, but maybe they all did, I have no idea.

Re: My Engine rebuild
The stop leak will arrive at my dad's tuesday. Once he has it, I should have a verdict in about 15 minutes if he has success...
BTW - can everyone see the start-up video? I never know if Google allows others to view or not.

Re: My Engine rebuild
Good luck-- I too have the old E7 heads-- you are free to them as well (I will even throw in a free 3 spd with it!).
The video worked for me. I dig that over the tire step stool. I have never seen anything like that!

Re: My Engine rebuild
BTW - here is a similar tire step to what we used. It matches the same dimensions: https://mobiledistributorsupply.com/249 ... aQodIOUKawAdditionally, my dad calls the local Napa, "Mañana auto parts" and it holds true. Irontite makes three different types of coolant stop leak and two of the three came in yesterday, just not the one I wanted!!! Perhaps today!

Re: My Engine rebuild
I am thinking I need to be picking up a set of heads for "just in case". So I am looking to see of the ones offered, which I should try to pickup. cpldavis37's has some upgrades that might be nice... But it may just come down to geographics, who's local to someone I can get them from.

Re: My Engine rebuild
Just FYI, this is the cracked head after the irontite all weather stop leak:
under black light
I'd love your input on this, and also what you think might have happened. I talked to the machine shop and they say it's unlikely the head was cracked when it left their shop as they use some process to check it for cracks...

Re: My Engine rebuild
Just let me know if you want them. No hurry they are just sitting in my garage.

Re: My Engine rebuild
Justin if you and TJ can easily make the connection, that would be awesome. If not don't sweat it.
What's your schedule in Pueblo? I'll see if it lines up with my in-laws.
Otherwise wheatridge is fine and I'll get them at a later date.

I usually land at work on the south side of town around 9 and head back to denver between 2 and 3.

Re: My Engine rebuild
I think I'll pull the header off and see where that crack goes. I may try to carve a small valley out and JB weld it if I think that will be successful.

Re: My Engine rebuild
TJ - thanks man!! I'd be happy to pay for something...you let me know.
Justin - Would it be better for you to have my inlaws meet you or to drop them off at Kenworth? And same to you, if you need some gas/beer money...

My company pays my mileage, no $$ needed. Where's kenwortg? If they can bring them, that'd be ideal. I'm just off i25.

Re: My Engine rebuild
Do we have any updates on the acquisition of these heads? If it doesn't work this time there is a backup location.

Re: My Engine rebuild
I may be delaying my Pueblo run till next week depending on how this storm shapes up. Not really interested in turning a 2 hour drive into a 4 hour one.

Re: My Engine rebuild
That's fine. My only push is that I'll be in CO for about a week starting thursday the 18th and have the ability to bring them home. But it's not critical so if that doesn't work. At that point I only need to get them to Federal and 38th at your convenience. From there I can have family get them to where they need to be.
