Some progress today
7-10-2014
Ohh yeah gonna sand and re paint the valve covers.
Also, pressured washed the engine and engine bay this morning. Im gonna have to soak the engine alittle in degreaser to get it more clean. but its actually alot more clean than it looks.
And after cleaning all the grim off the transmission i uncovered that its a 96. Considering my car is 94 and i thought it was a 94 tranny. This is a nice discovery because now i know its a couple years younger than what i thought.
Got my new timing belt in today
and took off the intake runners
spark plugs look very good and promising
Aswel as the intake valves. Very clean inside which makes me more confident in the engines integrity.
I completed at NA-T build about 3 years ago on the 96 SC300 and loved it, however it was an auto with a BL 3800 stall on a 4 speed power glide. Played hell at stop and go but was a beast on the highway. You're doing great so far, keep us posted. Here is a pic from my build that may give some ideas. Sorry for it being so big.
Looks great !!! yeah im slowly but surely making progress. Tomorrow going to get it on the engine stand, flip it around and get the mid section off for the oil pan. Drill it and put the oil return flange on, then flip it back up and start taking the head off to change the head gasket.
Also going to have my flywheel resurfaced and change the rear main seal along with some other seals just for reassurance.
