izzo Posted July 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 check the hoses where they go through the firewall for seepage, esp if theyre old http://www.510coop.com/heater/ (u o me $0.05) lol they are a little older, i did check those. they are pretty fucking dry, but not sure. I took apart some of the heater stuff and lubed up the controls, they move so freely now its nice. Going to head out right now, and run it for a bit and see if i can see any moisture around those hoses. Quote Link to comment
WAGON JON Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Replace the hoses and be happy for a long time :D Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Been putting off cleaning the wheels because they had some weird shit built up on them and it was really hard getting it off. Went to napa and they got me some spray shit that worked well. Still have a little bit more fine cleaning to do but turned out good. before After Washed and waxed it also again today Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Wow! That did the trick. Made those alloys come ALIVE ;) Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Wow! That did the trick. Made those alloys come ALIVE ;) Yeah it did!! Damn, i cleaned them too before, scrubbed the hell out of them with an SOS pad, scotch bright pad, soap + hot water, and they got somewhat cleaner but just had this dingy look to them like an old sock lol. I am impressed how clean and bright they got with the cleaner. It is some napa brand acid based aluminum cleaner. cost 11 dollars but worth every penny. Plus, it only took a tiny bit to cover the wheels. Let set for 30 seconds and washed em off. Ill hit it with a small wire brush in the thick areas thats left and spray again. I am really happy how they turned out lol... Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted July 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 As of saturday my goon will be off the road for a few weeks :( It leaks to much oil to be safe to drive it anywhere. Soon as napa gets my alt belt for my 720 in stock ill be using it as a daily driver again. Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted August 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Got a flywheel (thank you yello620), also traded some speakers for fog lights for teh goon! (did some trading with ed for those piaa's) Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted August 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Loosened and tightened the head bolts 1 by one and got them all re-torqued to spec, replaced oil pressure sensor. oil light goes out like it should now after start up. It was leaking pretty bad. Installed the PIAA lights, took off the bumper guards on the front bumper. Looks a bit cleaner. Installed the 68 Finned valve cover on the head. I got REALLY stoked when i pulled the valve cover. Head was recently gone through! Cam towers were marked, inside is super clean, springs were marked also. It was probably shaved/new seats on it i'd guess. pics! Piaa's are not wired in yet, just on the bumper. Will wire it in later. Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted August 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 not that it maters but i like it with the covers on Yeah im leaning towards them on also actually. If they were clear i think it might look ok with them off Quote Link to comment
datto510 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Did you adjust the valves while you were in there? ;) Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted August 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 wired in finally, with relay and toggle switch. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Went to rainier today to help a friend. He has a 2000 dodge neon, the water pump went out and threw the timing belt. It killed three valves. Shop said it would be 1400 to fix it, so he found a 2002 neon with a blown auto transmission to pull the motor out of. Headed out this morning and got to rainier, when i got on the back roads, i got on it pretty good. I grew up there, so i know the roads real well. Was in third gear haulin ass, was up around 5k rpm most of the time for about 2 miles. Got near his driveway and went to downshift, thing was stuck in third, had to force it out... Now when going from 2'nd to third, it grinds, and when going from third to second, 2'nd grinds. Guess this tranny is about toast :mad: <_< Anyways, we got the motor and tranny out of the car today, ill post pics friday when i go back and pull the other motor out. was fun ripping shit apart, sucked that it was 100 degrees outside in the sun where we had to do this...

izzo Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Pulled gauge cluster, cleaned it up. All lights work again, still not very bright. Ordered some leds for it. Installed a cigarette lighter, new cap, rotor, ngk plugs. Runs a bit smoother now. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted September 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Swapped the weber on my car for the one on the truck, what a difference a new carb does... So much moar power! Only thing is, i dont think when i put my foot to the floor it uses all of the throttle. Might need to bend my gas pedal out a little bit so it reaches full throttle. Speaking of full throttle, anyone remember the PC game? I beat this game time after time. Still have it too! Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Installed a Rockford 4.3 amp, with two kenwood speaker boxes. I just hooked it up so i could have some better tunes for now, need to re-wire them so they run at a lower ohms, but good enough for now. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Got the amp bridged in my goon, for what it is it thumps really well. This arrived in the mail today :D Now i just gotta borrow an engine stand & cherry picker. L20 build will begin! Quote Link to comment
