Reply With QuoteIf ya want to do the oil pan gasket, get the napa (non cork) gasket.
Did the rear brakes come up as an issue? Are the metal masters offering a better pedal with a few miles on 'em?
How about some pictures with the latest set of wheels?
No track day for me..
Inspection called out:
Oil leak (probably oil pan gasket)
Oil saturated motor mount- see above
leaks around where coolant hoses connect
Idler arm has play, possibly center link too.
Not to bad but I am not looking forward to the oil pan gasket.

Guess I should get the gasket taken care of. Feel like working on it?
The rear rotors came in yesterday so i threw them on last night. The right rear line is leaking though, from the top connection.
Yes, the pedal feel is better. Maybe a little lower still but very little. Happy with the brakes so far. Thanks again.
When I first put the tires on they were rubbing on the loud exhaust, had to switch back to stock that night. Drives very nice though, no more harsh than the style 5's/235-17

Those wheels look good.
We could prolly figure out some way to do that gasket. There are a couple tips that I remember from doing my sump gasket.
Unbolt the coolant reservoir.
Jack the block up with the a/c compressor bracket.
Unbolt the power steering pump from the block.
It may be time to paint the lower black stuff white on the car.

I'll pick up the appropriate parts then. Dude said I should probably do the coolant hoses too.

You sure about painting the black? Thought these wheels made the black look good...but all white does make the car look newer. Have to do the brake ducts first.
I like them, much more aggressive.

Who did the inspection!?
The motor mount should be fixed; that's easy.
Hose clamp leaks are easy fix.
How bad is the idler? That is of some concern...
An oil pan leak should not be a cause for problems....that's silly.
They need drivers this weekend. We should be able to make it work!

Eastside Bavarian- They did my last inspection for the skills day and the only thing mentioned was brakes will be due.
They did a good job, just to good. Would be great for a PPI.
I will order motor mounts and idler arm tomorrow
Should I order hoses? I don't know if you guys remember their condition?
I think i fixed the brake line, just tightned a bit, cleaned the surface then pumped the brakes, looks ok. Going on a test drive now.
