LOL, no probs Jay (hope I remembered your name correctly). Will see tomorrow if the oil leak is fixed. I RTV'd the **** out of the fitting and am letting it cure for 24 hrs.

Spent all day working on my buddy's LS chevy truck. I hate working on suspensions, and I hate working on chevys. Needless to say we only got half of it done. We were putting a 1.5" drop on the rear by putting on some different leaf shackles. Pain in the ***. There are 6 big rivets holding each shackle on that need to have one end cut off and then driven out. Well we five done no problem on the driver's side, then had to drop the (3/4 full, 26 gallon) fuel tank to get at the 6th.

Then the bolts for the new shackles were bigger than the old holes. After working on it for 7 hours, we got the one side done and that's it. It has a bit of a gangsta lean now until we can get it back into the shop on Thursday to finish it. Blech.

Nice truck though, runs low 13s!

This one is just a 1500 with a cam, chip and tune, and exhaust cutout. ****ing thing moves though! Looks really nice, single cab, short bed. I'll take a couple pics of it when we finish the drop this week.

good write up speedfoos! lots of good pictures.

rep points for you

Andyman hit it on the head......mine leaked like that with a mig weld. I had it all tig'd up. I also found the hose too far in the an fitting, causing the last thread to not be super tight. No more leaks..

So, how is that evac setup working. I have all the parts & I will install with the headgasket. let me know!

P.S. head studs, water pump, hq, & valve cover gskt set is in........time for teardown! should be up and running in a month. It's tooo cold her still!
I wish I could get that IM....but the gov. got me again on taxes!!!!

Damn Clint! I just ordered all of my parts for the evac setup!!!! DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess we can just run the intake manifold side w/ check valves?

The whistle noise is very common especially with a cold air intake / have your wife shut it off & put you're ear to the turbo intake filter. I bet it whistles

Man, now what are we gonna do for evac?

speedfoos

iTrader: (17)

Naw, this is a new whistle. It never used to do this. I'll take a little vid of it tomorrow morning and post it up. It does it when the intake tube is off the turbo as well. Weirdest thing.

I'm not sure what do to for the evac, I mean it's fine for the car to dump all that smoke out, but I think the tree huggers will end up slashing my ties and stuffing potatoes into my exhaust - although they'd have to be big ones because of the 3" tubing!

I mean, it's fine at this point with just a filter on the end and boost pressure pushing out it during boost (IM check valve closed) and the then it gets re-circed into intake charge during vac driving (former exhaust check valve closed). I would still run it the same, you now don't have to cut into the exhaust.

Debacle is one of my favorite words Don.

Quote fixed!

ill bet ur whistle is in the exhaust somewhere, not to question ur skills, but i bet u have a pinhole leak somewhere that is creating a whistle.... its prolly ur only new addition to the car lately, id check there first, with a giant swap and some soap

YOu could let your car suck up some of the seafoam crap.....It causes it to smoke like a big dog. I promise if there is a leak in your exhaust you will find it with this stuff....

Hey alpha thats an awesome idea HAHA. I say go for that!

Alpha 5

iTrader: (8)

Thanks.....I just hope they have that stuff in the UK.

speedfoos

iTrader: (17)

Nope, no thanks on the Seafoam. I was thinking exhaust too Adam, but it's coming from the front of the car, and I didn't mess with anything before the cat.

The JB Weld is just insurance. That fitting threaded in really tight so I'm not worried about it leaking or moving at all even without the JB Weld.

Just my two cents, but if that was my setup I would braze the fitting onto the pan.

I'm stupid but what does braze mean chris
