Re: Blown Head Gasket or Intake Gasket?

Decided I am going to do a leak down test. I was researching making my own and this is what I came up with. Will it work? Found a website that described how to do it. A lot cheaper. I have to take the shrader valve out of the compression tester tube. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk55/hugger73h...

Re: Blown Head Gasket or Intake Gasket?

Couldn't get the plugs today, they didn't have them, so I just sat around the house watched a little football. It has been record breaking cold and rainy here the last 4 days anyway. I will get the plugs in probably Tuesday and see what that does. If I still am showing symptoms I am going to borrow ...

Re: Blown Head Gasket or Intake Gasket?

Here are the pictures of the plugs. Also, I have not drained the oil, but I pulled the dipstick and the oil looks fresh, not milky. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk55/hugger73hatch/Nova%20and%20Rides/SDC10794.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk55/hugger73hatch/Nova%20and%20Rides/SDC10795....

Re: Attn Craig W.

Is that for both or each? As soon as I get the check I will let you know. You don't know anyone with 15x10 Weld Prostars with 5.5 BS do you?

Re: Attn Craig W.

I may take you up on that Craig. I got something a guy is supposed to be buying from me this week, the check is in the mail, so as long as that goes through and you still have them I may do that. Do you know how much to ship them to 22560?

Blown Head Gasket or Intake Gasket?

Started the car up today and had a heavy smell of antifreeze and lots of white smoke. :( I already kind of knew about it b/c when my buddy and I went to the track a few weeks ago he noticed it when I started the car up, and that was the first time it had done it. It only did it when the motor was co...

Attn Craig W.

Hey I think I may go to a 10" rim in the off season. I know you told me in another thread you are running 5.5"BS on your nova. What are your tire specs, such as section width and all? I want to make sure everything will fit. I currently run a MT ET Drag 28/9/15. Also, I noticed on your web...

Re: Removing the innner fender wells?

Inner fenders total about 40 lbs If memory serves me correct. I took mine out a couple of years ago. I think the weight savings out benefits the wind deal IMHO.

Re: Question about front tire size.

I'm a footbrake car only. I was just wondering what else the taller tire may affect. It may not affect anything I was just thinking logically it should increase reaction time and decrease et, but I don't know if I am right or not. I like making my brain work some you know.
