Re: Hard Starting Hot
Got the heatshield in today and installed. Needed to cut a but around the old AC bracket (really need to take that off) and back by the vacuum periscope. 1st install was a epic fail, it leaked like the Titanic! I had used the supplied thin gaskets, so I swapped them out for my Fel-Pro 60255 gaskets. No more leaking after that!
Quick test drive to get things heat up, wanted 45 minutes. I said there is a little improvement in start up but nothing to write home about. But she did idled much faster/smoother. Though this is really needs multiple drives. Oddly, I gained about .5~1 points in vacuum. No negative performance issues noticed while driving - everything seems fine, perhaps better as I am getting up to 15k.
