How do you like the getrag (282?) with the LSD? I've just barely started to drive mine here and there. Big difference from the automatic

The headers are also getting re-coated and should be finished mid-week=)

I bet your excited. Your ride is gonna be reborn again.

Never use steel wool or the scotchbrite pads on mating surfaces (aluminum). If you want something machine shops use, get the 3M bristle disc setup. White and yellow are milder than the green ones.

That's actually good to know.

Next time I tear into the block I'm gonna get some of those, thanks.

I also tried magic erasers and they work pretty well.

That's a neat idea, I never thought of that one.

I also got one of those buffing/polishing kits for a die grinder from Harbor Freight and the 3M like pads worked really well for taking gasket material off, but the polish swirls gave me the impression that metal was being removed, so I'm kinda apprehensive about using them again.

I normally use a razor blade laying almost flat along with brake clean and compressed air.

I do that too, razor blades. I use the thinner square blades. They wear faster but they do not damage metal as much as the stronger blades for tool knives.

They also have plastic razors which are really neat for soft aluminum. Find them in a paint store.

Jon is a really talented guy and it really shows in his work.Im very happy with everything i really couldn't ask for more.

I'll say lol

Hey Jon, just a few questions, whats with the "too wide" timing chain tensioner? and what would be the most coarse sand paper thay you would use to clean up the deck of the block?

this build is looking nice, i wish i had someone around me to help pull the engine and do headers and the rest of the stuff I want to do!

can't wait to see more!

Yes Yes, I love pics of great quality work. Plus it looks like Jon has got a nice man cave to work in. As my Wife calls it.

I can't wait until I cam my turbo. Hoping for something intense but still DD streetable. I'll do whatever head mods needed to get a high RPM turbo.....mwa haaaa
