I got a question....so I am assuming you went with slim fans with that turbo. I used 2x12in slim fans aswell. My only problem now is that I don't have a proper coolant overflow bottle. I have a plastic dasani bottle with a hole in the cap Just curious what you did with yours? I still can;t find a small enough reservoir to fit. I have about 3 different ones I bought sitting in my garage.

Also, I keep loosing coolant badly. It all goes into my reservoir. It doesn't overheat and it doesn't burn any coolant. I have to add coolant after letting the car cool down because it all goes into the reservoir (expanison of heat) So I ordered a new radiator cap(assuming drain back valve is inop) we shall see if that fixs my problem. My worst fear is the headgasket is starting to leak combustion chamber pressures into my cooling system causing excess pressure to vent coolant into my resevoir!!!

The stock one still fits brother! You just gotta use zip ties to hold it in place since it doesn't bolt up. Once I put it back in I'll snap some pics. Are you still running a stock radiator? I was going to suggest a new cap as well since things are a touch hotter now.

No real update today, belt still isn't here and the exhaust still isn't done.. Just did some puttering around. Cleaned the garage, reinstalled the oil adapter and feed line (it was off while I dicked around with the turbo), mounted the alternator back on and repainted the PS mount and driver's side engine mount bracket.

I tried to put my Megan strut bar back on again, but it definitely is not going t fit. Oh well, it will go in the post-turbo sale box. So I pulled the strut bar completely off. While I had everything apart, I rubberized the bottom of my Ingall's stiffy mounting plate to help absorb some of the vibration. I'll hit it with a couple more coats tomorrow.

That's about it. I may tinker tomorrow, I may not. I still need to cut the hood to clear the WG, but I have a coach's meeting for my daughter's soccer season tomorrow night, so we'll see if I have time to monkey with it.

haha.. not so much the hot racking.. see, on aircraft carriers, we get our own shit. and yes, the damn bulkheads and decks and (no offense) douchebag officers that think they run the damn joint.. and can't forget about going down to the nuclear plant where I work getting hit by radioactive zoomies that are by-products of a nuclear reactor..

But I got a question for ya, since you're a.. *ahem* older-ish (well older than me.. hehe) military guy: what do you do with the shit they serve in the galley that you can't really eat, fuck, or paint? haha..

[speedfoos]

What's a galley?

If it fits on a spoon without falling off, we eat it in the Army.

[xRiCeBoYx]

sorry.. forgot to translate to Army terminology: Galley (read: Mess Hall)

And I don't know man.. some of that shit that fits on a spoon I don't even think a starving dog would eat..

Then again, you are officer-type, so you guys get better food.. haha..
