hoss -05 05-18-2012 02:19 PM

Want me to bring anything over on saturday? Not real sure what time i will get in. I guess it depends on how well my night gos.

houstonrx8er 05-18-2012 02:23 PM

you could maybe bring some random bolts and whatnot (unless 9k brings some)....just in case :)

other than that lets knock this out!!!!

9krpmrx8 05-18-2012 02:27 PM

Yeah I plan on bringing all my bolts in the AM.

houstonrx8er 05-18-2012 02:31 PM

sweetness, I am going to go pick of a few last minute things and we should be ready to drop her in.

oh and FYI....NAPA screwed the pooch on my radiator lines....thats their 3rd strike on this build.....ugh....gonna reuse the old ones temporarily

9krpmrx8 05-18-2012 02:36 PM

Did you try Oreilly's?

hoss -05 05-18-2012 02:37 PM

I had actually ment food, snacks or soda. It is my current plan to make it there in the AM as well.

houstonrx8er 05-18-2012 02:50 PM

I know I am and Scott at one point told me he likes coffee as well.

houstonrx8er 05-18-2012 06:24 PM

cool cinnamon rolls and coffee will await you guys

if you happen to have e-clips that go on the ssv/vdi actuators that would be great...no one I have visited has one that fits

9krpmrx8 05-18-2012 10:16 PM

I will probably be there closer to 9AM, I have to drive my son to work in the AM to Schlitterbaun.

houstonrx8er 05-18-2012 10:55 PM

no problem, I will just be getting things preped up and ready to go.

If Hoss leaves first then give him the bolts

do your self a favor and get silicone radiator hoses old buddy. It will benefit the flow to the water pump a little and it all adds up.

well I had ordered some but they ended up being out of stock. then I got tired of looking for a 3 hose kit (the samco kit is out of the question and has bad reviews with fitment) so that leaves me with RB...for $120

I got all 3 OEM for $73 so figured I would save a buck. I didnt think there was really a value with silicone other than longevity/looks

shadycrew31 05-20-2012 07:35 AM

whats the score?

olddragger 05-20-2012 07:53 AM

pettit racing has silicone hoses available and they are less than $120!
$120 for damn hoses---Jesus!

houstonrx8er 05-20-2012 08:11 AM

score was nill start last night...seems to be missing spark threw in the towel last night and just about to start on it now any suggestions?

you can seem unburnt fuel in exhaust

houstonrx8er 05-20-2012 09:15 AM

well looks like it may be flooded, pulled a plug, stuck a string in there and it was soaked. waiting on battery to charge and will pull fuse crank and reapply :)

hoss -05 05-20-2012 05:42 PM

Ugh......

houstonrx8er 05-20-2012 05:49 PM

total....after sitting for a bit it started again and ran pretty darn good for 5min or so then randomly stalled out. I am assuming vacuum leak but all the major stuff is hooked up.

houstonrx8er 05-20-2012 05:51 PM

I do have the say the engine seems to be under "tension", I am not sure how much of that is just the fact it is new stuff or if I jacked something up :(
