I'd like to announce that I'm sorry Dave...it'll take you all night to see these.

uhm....rebuild it, jim.

no, i mean the block sealer.... what exactly is it, isn't it like an epoxy? you cant just drill it out of the coolant passages can you?

of course i know you are going to rebuild it, but i am wondering how you can remedy a situation like that

Duffil · « **Reply #1263 on:** Sep 06, 2008, 11:33:44 PM »

most of that is crusted on what's left of the head gasket. It will go away just fine.

Judging by the color, it's Bars Leaks.

Wow. That thing is disgusting. That is all! Keep up the good work.

What are your plans with this one?

Duffil · « **Reply #1266 on:** Sep 07, 2008, 03:56:38 PM »

I was bored again, so I finally yanked the fenders and bolted on both of my fuse blocks(one switched, one constant).

And I broke out my body hammers and beat out my Big Sluice dent a bit. Not perfect, but I am not a body man by any stretch of the imagination.

KDXSR5 · « **Reply #1267 on:** Sep 07, 2008, 07:19:25 PM »

Where did you get those fuse blocks? I want one.

THK Matt · « **Reply #1268 on:** Sep 07, 2008, 07:20:18 PM »

X2

specs on them?

Duffil · « **Reply #1269 on:** Sep 07, 2008, 08:08:28 PM »

You can get them pretty much anywhere...they are both rated at 30A per circuit and a max draw of 100A for the whole unit IIRC.

The 6-fuse block is a 782-5316.

Dude, is that square tubing I see for your tie rod? Or is it just the picture?

I think it's angle iron welded to the stocker. Or it may be sleeved in square.

Oh, ok. I just figured it was sleeved with square tube since it looked like some sorta square stock on there.

Duffil · « **Reply #1273 on:** Sep 08, 2008, 07:46:26 AM »

yeah man that's cutom angle reinforcement. I kept tacoing stock ones.
