Re: Restoring Rusty
then we removed the #1 Intake valve and we already expected the intake valves to be in better shape than the exhaust and this one was, it also was consistent with the first set of Vortec valves we already have, condition wise

Re: Restoring Rusty
alright 2 for 2, we're half way there, lets keep going
and the third chamber, properly referred to as cylinder #5 is good too, though it started out a bit weepy (no idea what the heck that was all about, maybe me shooting PB Blaster inadvertently in there when removing the vlave |

Re: Restoring Rusty
cool, 3 for 3 and no cracks, so how did the 4th one turn out?
I'll tell you all tomorrow, had to take the kid to piano practice, lol, and I'm so tired I really don't want to clean it right now cause it's late, it's been a long day, and I would just half @ss it, and I don't want to do that, so must rest |

Re: Restoring Rusty - Magnafluxing Vortec Cylinder Heads
alright Gentlemen this concludes Phase 1. aka the Eyecrometer Inspection
and now we move on to the Magna-Flux-Capacitor DYI Test phase this is a little SPOTCHECK Kit I assembled using the following three products for just shy of $75 ducates (Note: their official kit runs $130 - must come with pixie dust cause it has the same products in it) got this from a local place called Grainger. Amazon sells competing products for about $35 total but its Hazardous cargo and must be shipped by truck, and I didn't have that kinda time folks. 1. Mr. Clean 2. Red aka "The Penetrator" 3. Developer |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Come on out to N. Ga and you can take apart the original 350 from my wife's 72 Malibu convertible and tell me why with only 55,000 miles on it I could not keep oil in it . Rather than rebuild it I bought her a 290 HP crate motor for less money than the rebuild was going to be .

Re: Restoring Rusty - SPOTCHECK Magnaflux
SPOTCHECK Magnaflux Step 1.
spray the cleaner (Blue Label) on a rag (not directly on part) and wipe the part clean I think we can handle that... (we'll use paper towels, but shhhh don't tell) |
