Steve-Oh Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I heard through the grape vine that you should soak them in ginger ale. Dissolves all contaminants on contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-Oh Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 No but seriously, maybe a good scrub with carb cleaner and a soak in de-greaser I.E. purple power or simple green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Det_Riot Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Finally done with college (whoop whoop) so time to update this motha fuggggin project log!Well after taking the heads into the local speed shop to get em taken apart, the reassembly began (and went a shitload smoother than the disassembly)Hellllo to new valve springs =D Comp Cams 985-16. Open pressure of 346lbs, perfect for a mild 302 =D http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-985-16Along with a .015", .03", and .06" shim kit to get my installed seat height to be 1.8"I assembled the first one before taking pictures just to make sure I wasn't going to get frustrated with it =D-Complete tear down of head, remove valves, valve stems, and valve springs. Numbers written on the head are the install height for the valve spring. Each valve spring needed a shim underneath the valve seat before the springs were installed.Valve spring shims in placeReassembly of seat, and valve sealValve spring install:Finally time for assembly!Lacked pics here, guess I'll take some more today =DInstalled my MGW while I had nothing else to do!

Det_Riot Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Well figured i'd make a little project list for the new year and maybe try to keep up on updates since now I have a nice camera and zero reason to not take pictures of everything I do haha-Install motor mounts. Energy Suspension motor and trans mount kit. I've needed these for almost a year and it's finally to the point that I cant drive the car due to unbearable vibrations http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ens-4-1124r/overview/-Install battery box and cut off switch. Going to put the switch behind the license plate and fab up some brackets so that I can fold it up and down to access it. Similar to the 80s cars with their filler necks in the trunks-Install 90mm LMAF and new 4" intake pipe-Retune Hopefully my car will finally produce the numbers I've been praying to see. After this I'll probably just end up driving it for the summer without any major mods. If I end up wanting more power immediately, my car is going to be seeing a nitrous plate ;]-Paint/body work-Rear end buildHaven't decided yet the direction I'll be going with this. Most likely an eaton unit, 31 spline, 3.73s, etc etc-Rack, pinion, and steering shaftIf I can't find a flaming river unit, then a remanned or low mile terminator rack with a MM Solid Shaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slykin Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Looks good, let me know how difficult the motor mounts are. I think I need to do mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Motor mounts shouldn't be hard. I'm just gonna jack up the motor from the pan with a block of wood and the energy pieces have alignment dowels on them. Should be simple enough!

Can't wait to get these puppies in now! the recent drop of temperature from 60* to 20* has killed all motivation once again =[ I got mine with my LMAF. My buddy has been having the same issue as you trying to find one.
