    How BAD is this?

    Thanks.:nice: Basically I just had to raise the vehicle & then by unbolting the motor-mounts I was able to lower the engine just enough to get the heads off. The motor-mounts are actually bolted through the inner fenders which make detaching from the car anyway, a pretty easy task...

    How BAD is this?

    Yep - Just like Z06killinSBF said, set up a photobucket account & simply paste & copy the URL Link into your thread. http://s2.photobucket.com/ I dont really have any good pics of the car right now because as soon as I got it I parked it in the car port, set it up on stands, & went to...

    How BAD is this?

    Thank's everyone!:hail2: What a relief. I haven't even driven the car yet ( other than around the block at delivery ) & having the motor rebuilt would just delay the process even longer. Yee, haw... LOL! Yes, It definitely NEEDS a coolant flush. I'm kinda bummed out about installing...

    How BAD is this?

    Well I was getting ready to install my heads today & while cleaning off the block I decided to remove the carbon off the pistons too. This is my first time changing out heads so this may be normal but I instinctively put on the brakes after discovering what looks like little cracks in the...

    Question on painting engine bay

    I used chemical stripper along with an assortment of wire-brushes , sanding-wheels, and yes the dremel too. If I ever do this again I will definitely choose sand blasting over the above mentioned! Even if I have to go rent one for the day... I also chose the Eastwood product because I...

    Installing Head Gasket Question

    The Edelbrock head gaskets that I ordered from Jegs didn't come with any instructions ( part num 7313 ) & I just need to know if I need to apply any kind of sealer to them before installing or do they just go on dry? Edelbrocks tech dept is closed on the weekends so I can't give them a call &...

    too cold to paint?

    I would give my left n*t to have a nice-warm garage, LOL! - unfortunately at this time the best I can do is a car port. I'm using spray cans. I'll give the heating the parts a try & if for what ever reason things don't turn out right - I'll just wait till it warms up a little more. My...

    too cold to paint?

    Quick question - I think... So I'm planning on painting the engine bay this week & the forcast is calling for 40 - 50 deg day temps. All the prep is finally done & I am applying Eastwoods rust encapsulator followed by several coats of their flat black. My question is - Will the paint...

    POR-15 question

    LOL... Your "wheel-well page" IS what inspired me to re-do the engine compartment in the first place. I actually viewed it last week when I was researching finishing techniques. BTW - Nice Work! :hail2: I looked for the peel-away product at the local hardware stores & nobody seems to...

    POR-15 question

    Thanks everyone.:nice: I'm going to go with the Eastwood encapsulator product over the POR-15 ONLY because of the possibility of brush-strokes. It will be alot easier too I think to get back into all those hard to reach areas as well... Should be here some time next week. As for now - I...

    POR-15 question

    I am in the middle of removing the SUPER THICK layer of undercoating that the previous owner so graciously applied through-out the entire engine compartment & am trying to make a decision on what to re-apply in it's place. I did a "search" & saw several positive recommendations for the POR-15...

    66 Tiger

    I got them from Rick at Sunbeam Specalties in California. Cost was $255. plus shipping. Quality seems OK but I have quite ALOT of deburing /cleaning to do on the flange inlets. They only come un-coated so after I get them test fitted & make all the necessary reliefs in the tubing to clear the...

    66 Tiger

    Yeah - The air filter is outta here as soon as I find a replacement. Right now I'm trying to find an OEM oval but if that dosen't pan out I'll just pick up a "Cobra" style oval on e-bay... ( IMO those look nicer than the OEM anyway - and alot less expensive )

    66 Tiger

    Sure... I'd be happy too! I don't really have many good ones though - As soon as I took delivery of the car it went up on stands in my car port. One of the header tubes coming of the drivers-side header had a golf ball sized hole rusted through it. ( sounded mean, LOL ) The headers are...

    I know it's not a Mustang so if you guy's would rather me find a different forum to post on - let me know... I just got a 66 Sunbeam Tiger with the 289 motor & while waiting for the new headers to show up I decided to get some other routine maintance stuff out of the way - oil change, plugs...

    Va Stangs, Advice needed...

    Hello all - I am moving to the Lexington / Buena Vista area in April. ( Rockbridge County ) I am having trouble determining if my car is going to be " emisions " & " safety " legal when I arrive. How BIG of an issue is it to pass these inspections? I'm all freaked out in thinking that there...
