Just a side note, the 35 Master coupe I sold just over a year ago is on the road. Owner texted me this. I told him I changed my mind and would gladly refund his money. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Looking good Doug..
For future reference Speedway has flanges for around $6 each (nothing wrong with Hortons stuff Ive used his stuff in the past, very nice quality) Speedway you usually get the next day and you can get the gaskets from them as well. A bit less money and time to get the parts (My 2 cents) Mark...

Exhaust is looking really good!
Don't see something wrong with it? I like that place for an outlet.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Nice, kinda looks like a burb again. I'll vote for "bringing in a professional to work on your suburban" is ok, as long as it's not to do some major work. LOL

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Thanks Kees and Richard.
Lizard Skin is done. Pulled the powertrain out and took chassis back to Luke for firewall fab. Yeah, I had big plans to fill some holes in the frame and that didn't happen. Too much other maintenance to do...yard, equipment, other cars. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Did you use the lizard skin, sound control or ceramic insulation or both?

I had really good help on the engine. Grandson now knows what tools to use and where they are in the tool box. Grandpa is loving that! This engine was pretty rust flakey with only a little oil crud around the oil filter. Dawn dish soap in hot water did a reasonable job on the oil crud, followed by two applications of oven cleaner with hose spray off. A little work with a die grinder and wire wheel helped tremendously. The block still needs a more help before paint so I will probably do some spot blasting. Makes me jittery thinking of the blast media and where it could infiltrate into the engine. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
I agree Oldman
I used both Lizard skin products on mine, really happy with results. Remember both is only .080" Here is a vid I made showing my results. http://youtu.be/GymwCS3Mxqo I had my whole motor and trans sandblasted. Then I took it apart, plug with rag, 2 layers of duck tape on all holes, nothing got in.

I will probably do the same with blasting the engine and will follow your lead on the duct tape. |
