Yes, minor stretching of the ARP studs, not a total failure. It was on it's way out though, you can stop by proformance if you want. Local guys, real knowledgeable built a few alcohol 7 second dragsters. I'll post up that photo once I get home

 

 

Nice and clean, Chris!

 

i dont think this car has ever been this clean. lol. thanks for all the pics Shawna. And yea looks like this thread is about done since no more stock block

 

Dude I can't wait to we see these 2 cars together down the road tearing some suby's :-D and V8 while we go get some beers

 

lol Subaru's and LS1's??

... more like 1000cc's

 

+1

 

Car is looking clean!

 

I find myself repeatedly watching that one video becuase of its awesome background music. It gets me pumped up. I form a mental picture of rocky and ivan drago beating each other senseless. There's nothing like a nice young, oiled-up dolph lundgren theme song to compliment a bad-*** evo.

 

 

Hah, good catch. There is absolutely no way that a head gasket could separate, and fluid wouldn't force itself through. A fluid only needs maybe a .001" gap to seep through. I also don't know how you would be able to tell this happened, since the second you undo a head stud, the gasket will fluff back up to close to its original state, it won't stay flat. You would have to measure the distance between the head and block, before and after re-installing the exact same head gasket with to test for any differences, since each head gasket is bound to be .001 - .0001" different just from materials.

 

yea we can cruise when i get back. But no beers will be involved and there isnt any Suby around the area that would even be worth it for either of us. maybe a few v8's and deff would like to go after a 1000cc like i attempted last year.

 

I honestly can't wait for you guys to come home and hand out.


-Em

 

Soon sir soon.

 

I'm going to be upset if when i get there in Nov is snowing! Well were going to have to put it on the dyno so I can Drive it
