...In with the NEW

So im back from outatown and return to complete the job started this weekend. Looks like they did a great job at getting though some really tough items. I was able to find the cotterpins we need to lock the tie rods back together and we were ready to clean us the heads to mate them to the new headers.

Daniel went to work on scrubing off as much as he could of the old gasket/debris on the head and we realized that the seafoam did a very good job at cleaning the internals of the motor out.



I installed the new fuel filter with minimal resistance.



I then moved onto piecing together the new exhaust, first mating the CAT with the Catback system with a nice film of copper gasket maker in between to ensure no leaks.




We then work on preping the head with gasketmaker and and a new gasket, and we then apply the new headers on.



We quickly move to under the car where I already hung the new exhasut and install the downpipe of the headers to mate with the CAT. It all merged together like a great sandwich, it was a master piece.



Tommorrow, we wait for the gasketmakers to cure and we add oil and then start the car.

I cant wait to drive this weekend, looks like there will definetly be some performace upgrades as well as some maintainance issues addressed since the last event.

Some final pics of the bushing upgrades:
