finally moving out

well in about a month im moving out of my house into this nice house in the next town over its a 4 bedroom house with a 2 car garadge so me and 3 of my buddy's are moving in and the rents only 900 a month so that kicks ass, so in the winter ive got a place to park my car so now i won't have to sell it. and ive got big plans for this winter im gonna rip off the heads since i gotta change headgasket anyways clean em out get em port and polished and get a nice valve job then im gonna get a bunch of new gaudges, rims, redo the upolstry on the ceiling with black swuade (and yes i prolly spelled it wrong) :naughty: and theres prolly some other things ima do if i have the funds

lol, well congrats man, and good luck with the projects, dont let payin the rent slow ya down... DAMN THE MAN!! :evillol:

rents not bad at all its 225 a month for me plus cable gas and electric and internet so im figuring like 300 a month and im makin like 420 a week so i'll be straight

i might also make a custom fiberglass cluster with a speedo that goes up to 160 from autometer along with fuel and some other shit from them

not bad not bad, youll need to post pics as you go along ;)

oh i will, ive got a good 4+ months of snow weather to do this project too. and me and a friend are gonna start up a catering business during the winter b/c work gets slow at the deli during this time so im hopeing to make a bunch of loot on that one. i was gonna get a truck originaly and plow snow but that in essance i would of had to sell the maro and the 02 ram 2500 with the hemi was MADDDDD loot fuckin like 30 grand so i was like umm scratch that idea

lol fair enough

im putting this bad boy on http://www.quicktimeperformance.com/QTEC/index.html

I just moved out and got a place of my own I love every minuite of it.

it sucks tho my gaskets starting to get really bad like when i look in the overflow tank for the coolant all i see is white foam swirling around in the tank it sucks and ive lost mad power i mean shit now i stay neck and neck with my friends acura 3.2TL

might i suggest you stop driving it???? before it gets worse, and instead of having to replace gaskets, youll need a new engine???

wait if i just completely kill the gasket i could kill the engine? never knew that i thought i would just loose a shit load of power

anyways i have no other car which sucks lol and i work everyday

i mean i don't beat the shit out of it at the moment just stay around 2k rpms and so i basicly drive slow now

unless i lost power b/c i need to change my belt and mabye there is a leak somewhere else with the coolant b/c i never see any white smoke at startup and there are no air bubbles in my oil, its wierd there actually were and now they stopped

lol, well, if youre blowing out gasket, your gonna be getting coolant into the cylenders, this causes premature wear on the rings, and gets into the crank case, causes premature wear on bearings, and can cause hydrolic lifters to collapse. Actually, thats where i got my R code 350 from out of that tahoe, had a coolant leak, lifters collapsed, and the lady wanted a new engine. so i paid the core charge, and walked away with an entire shortblock, that really only needs lifters, bearings, and rings :)

nice, well my coolant hasn;t rly deepleated its gone down mabye 1/3 of the overflow tank in like 4 months and i gotta check my codes b/c if i floor it and let off the gas i get a code but then it turns off after a few min also if i hit 75-85 i get a code then that goes away went i get off highway (and i get it even if i hit it without beating the fuck out of it)

well in that case it dosnt sound too bad, i thought it was worse, but you should probly deal with it as soon as ya can, and stick to short trips keeping the coolant temp down as much as possible.

coolant stays at a steady 180 and when its cold out 165-170

well the point is that the higher temp the coolant is at, the higher pressure it is under, and the more of it will leak through the failed gasket. so lower temps will lessen the damage caused by coolant in the oil

oh ok, thanks man i pured some of that C2 sealent shit to take care of oil leaks that might of helped a little, but like i said i am gonna rip off the heads this winter and fix all that prolly just gonna rebuild the whole bitch while im at it

probly a good idea, new bearings and all ;)

yeah, plus will be a good learning experience since im looking to get into this business.

no better way to learn than to do, just dont be afraid to stop when ya dont konw what to do, and find someone who does and ask. pride just increases the final cost of the project.

yeah, i mean if i can get it all dissasembled then all i have to do is put it back the same way i just gotta find out all of the specs of what to torque things down to and how to properly install things like what kinds of things get diff lubes and all that ish

lol, well, it is technicly supposed to be that easy, but trust me man, it never is ;)

check your oil see if its mixing coolant or not , if it is stop driving it! if not plan a weekend to change the gasket

well you see the coolant isn;t mixing in the oil yet so like i said ima just ride it out till winter since ima just rebuild the whole bitch if when i rip the heads off the pistons are lookin nasty so i think it should last another month or so before i pack up the car into my garadge since ive got another car all lined up
