Re: The Project Havoc....

Well guys, i got her running yesterday, after a bunch of leaky brake lines, a bad leaking caliper and a bad wilwood proportioning valve. got in fired her up, put her in gear and backed her out of the garage. Took her about 20 miles to seat the rings in, had a friend follow me in his truck. She revs at 1500 rpm on the highway, really low. I got back to the city and gave her a little juice and boom, a cloud of smoke came out. So got her to my brothers house and checked her out. Turns out i blew the front seal out of the engine, stupid cheap timing covers. Oh well. Put a liter of oil in her and brought her home, but when i left i gave her a little go juice and completely sideways, this thing has nuts. WOW. so today will be clean the garage and replace the seal and hopefully give her an alignment tonite if i get the seal done. Anyways she is great, the suspension is stiff but not so stiff that you knock your teeth out, corners awesome, have never been in a truck that corners this good, you just crank her and she goes, good and flat around corners, i love it, but i am not so sure the trans will stay alive for long, we will see, anyways later guys.
