A New Whatever - MCR14 Break in.

[Wermz84]

   Funny guys.  but she's just a friend.





Pulled the cover off yesterday to check the valves.  Soo purty, Cam and rockers are looking great at 200mi.




Took it for a little spin throught the mountains yesterday (about 45 mi, longest continuous run yet) and no oil bolt dribble.      Double checked the mounting bolts.

Replaced the thermostat gasket but it still dribbles out of the cap.  again just enough to mess with me.  I guess time for some RTV I   but two toyota thermostat rubber gaskets have done it now.     Lots of firsts with this engine.  haha.

[Wermz84]

500 Miles!

[Duffil]

Well you are looking good then. All the leaks sealed up now?

[Rocksurfer]

Good deal, glad it all worked out.

[Wermz84]

Yup!  Everything is sealed!   Still working on the gauges though.

Good deal, glad it all worked out.

[Duffil]

holy crap. not only are you stepping up to duals but the BM used his magic to tell us about it!

I assume your old 4.7 gearset is in the rear case or IS that your old case?

Finally home.

I look so confused in that second pic.    Today was an absolute blast.  Thanks guys, i have been wanting this setup for a looong time now.  I am stoked.  Finally a real bumper as well.

Budbuilt dual x-member, still in shipping.

Hopefully between the LC engine mounts and that xmember mount my drive train will stay put with the extra torque.     I'll let you'all know.
Still have to buy another twin stick.
cut hole in floor board

all goes well, I'll be at hollister within 2 weeks. 

Yes 4.7's are in the rear.  that thing is ready to rock and roll. 


who was supposed to call you??   
Edit:  I did call you, you never called me back. 

[fordh8r]

Oh sweet! You got one up on me with those 4.7's.    Is that an R10 adapter? Or did I miss that part?    Well I hope it goes together well for ya (not that it should give you any problems). 

[Wermz84]

thanks, I love the 4.7's, but it's gonna be so sweet to have my stock low back.

It's the standard MC07.  I thought about rotated for about a hot minute, then decided againsn't it.   8)

[Wermz84]

Doing a little test fitting today. 





This thing is gonna be sweet.  Going to have to do a little clearance work which is to be expected.
the black marks are the sharpie lines i put.  Other side lines up well.



Going to be tricky however clearancing the frame for bolt's 7, and 8.



I love this thing.  [cartman voice] Beef Cake! [/cartman voice]
