v80z Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Took the car out again this evening for a little round the block now that the lights are working. Man this is a rough riding S$%. Loud ? This thing aint no street car. I thought I might put a little music in it but the only people who will be able to hear it will be outside the car. CLutch line has air in it. Melted a plug wire. Got a chirping like a wheel bearing in the rear. EWither a bearing or a brake issue, not associated with rpm,. And I will probably pass out from all the fumes. Good News The valve cover hold down bolts were bottoming out so I ground those down and my after drive oil spot has gone from grapefruit size to nickel size. Bad news Previous oil drip soaked my paper exhaust gaskets and they blew out. Gotta go get some aluminum ones. Those ought to be fun putting them on with the motor in. I found that putting those cheesy block huggers on with the motor out was as challenging as a rubik's cube for me. All of the little issues and problems makes me appreciate the time effort money blood and sweat that those who have gone before me have put in.
