Somwhats the plans Larry? Were thinking of probably only sleeping out line night on account of the little one, still leaves us with most of Saturday and Sunday to play around.
Couple of questions how area we cooking while out there? You prefer anything specific in your area? I was thinking charcoal and my cast iron pans, nice and easy and I always have water and a shovel.
Gonna go thru my camping gear tomorrow I think also going to have the thornbirds balanced or attempt to plus new valve stems.
well its done no leaks in the end and fully welded exhaust, pacesetter header into flex pipe into thrush glass pack into stock tail pipe till i upgrade it to match the thrush. four exhaust hangars and that flexpipe should keep this thing from cracking the header. . it SOUNDS AMAZING I can not describe it throaty does not quite do it justice. sounds like it wants to run! cant wait to take it to a double berm and see where peak torque is now! with the 4.10 gears and stock power train it was peaking in four low third 2 3050-3150 rpm so i kinda wanna hit the same berm and spin all four and see where it hits.. the gears will make a difference and so will these new additions, new in that I have had them stashed in the closet for a year.
thanks man It has been a hard road with endless nights and way too much thought. sufficed to say I am going for the gold here, was thinking for shits i might add up all the little recipts them my wife said i better not I might cry..
still haver her sold of coilover suspention for in the rear.. i cant wait!
well i started around noon when the wife and I got home from town with multiple breaks I managed to get the manifolds back in place and the last bolt is always a nifty finger trick.
well that's the short version:
I started by being quite malicious with a die grinder and a heavy hawg bit.... cuts in a few places in the intake gasket runner area to match the gasket which matched the head. that took a few hours to say the least, I finished the surfaces off with fine stones that came with the master craft die grinder set.
I then proceed to match the rest of the gasket to the manifold then referencing the head I see a few places I could have left some meat but that will come out with the port and polish of the head next time I'm in there I guess the head wasn't quite fully gasket matched from the factory like I thought I hope I didn't just fuck myself in power gains for the time being.
So looks like i am going to keep all my idler pullies and swap my new introduction for a groovy pulley and run the tension in reverse, I see nothing wrong with the idea. while on the subject all i did was drill out the stock 93 cherokee pump I had in there out to fit the bolts I had lucky I also had the pulley with holes in it so I was golden there.
got the y pipe mounted directly to the engine block to help support the header from cracking like ALL the rest. going to tack the exhaust together tomorrow morning and see just where everything lye's going to run a clam coupler between the exit pipe and the glass pack for easy RE n RE if I feel its called for, also going to come up with another mount for the glass pack at the front so the flex joint isn't holding the weight of the front end of said glass pack
my idea was i have a piece of pipe the t takes a shock rubber and there is an arm on another pipe that wasn't big enough for my end game so i will scavenge it tomorrow. fired up just fine no issues so far.
oh yes I also hogged out the step down in the bottom of the throttle body I have here and got a little carried away i can now see light past the butterfly valve when itsl closed only in places.. now measures roughly 59.95mm
see if that helps or hinders, either way its now a great candidate to go to the machine shop to get bored to 62.5mm properly.
