January 5, 2014 - Demolished lip repair, cracked exhaust manifold, huge exhaust leaks fixed
Alrighty..soo..as you may remember, my previous lip got destroyed by a possum. So, I bought another one to replace it...and it lasted two weeks.
You've got to be kidding me
So, I got to thinking. I wasn't about to spend another $120 on a lip, at least not yet. That would take away from other things I want to get done. So I chose the next best solution. Grafting two broken lips together
Decided to be a ricer
And good as new. So, while all of that was going on, I had another issue at hand...one that irritated me quite a bit. BUT, I am more than happy how it was handled.
Da fuq...look closely
Yeah, that's right...a crack in my Redjack Racing Manifold that hadn't even been on a month yet! Aaaaahhhhhhh. I was irritated. I got in contact with Redjack Racing though and he took care of the repairs on it. Said this is the first manifold he has ever seen crack and that it must have been a fluke. I dropped it off with JMS Racing and had it fixed without any hassle on Redjack Racing's end.
So when I took everything apart I noticed this...not cool
So I fixed it
Also noticed my exhaust housing was super rusty on the inside and decided to have it sandblasted
Had the mating surface to the exhaust manifold decked (I don't use gaskets anymore, at least not until I have a reason to do otherwise). I use copper spray now
Alright so everything got back together eventually. There is a broken stud in the head that I couldn't get out so I ordered a copper embossed gasket for that. While I was waiting I got bored...interesting things happened...very interesting things...
First this
Den dis...
Oh yeaaahhh. Plastidip plus oem mudflaps. Happy with the look. Tune in next time for even MOAR updates!
