allen405 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 wow, well my hat is off to you=) if I lived closer I'd definately come over and help lend a hand. What color do you plan on going with for the block?Yeah, you must be a good 5 hours away,lol. I'm gonna go with gray for the block color because most of the other stuff is black.

TexasTieaga Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 That's a beautiful head (that's what she said). Any plans on P&P since you have everything ripped apart anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Probably not now since it's together. Unless you are trying for big numbers or something, doing all that work isn't necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 you should never set the head valves down like that,, always use a couple pieces of wood like 1" fering strips 10 inches long to keep the valves up off any surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allen405 Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I still have to get that stupid crank polished. I may get impatient and do it myself with some 2000 grit sandpaper and a fat shoe lace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89PalermoSHP Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 i was gonna say.... just spend the $45 and get it done professionally. let me find out whats up with the radiator job. im a little miffed at that person but theres no reason she cant bring the car over herself. i gave her the damn car and have seen about $150 from her in payments since I got the WRX. i guess im supposed to give her the car, go buy the radiator, take it to get it fixed, and probably give the car a wash and wax before returning it. family....

TexasTieaga Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I have all the paint I need Jesse I'm Gonna leave the valve cover the way it is. The color is Cast Iron Earl. Earl is kind of a random name to throw in lol. I must be missing somethin in that. Just my .02. Looks nice though. Glad to see it progressing so quickly where as my little projects end up taking months or years sometimes. Keep us updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Maybe a stupid question here....But how do you remove old freeze plugs? And install new ones? You prolly just tap the new ones in, but im still wondering how you get the old ones out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 put a punch or screw driver through it and pry it out=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
