Yes. Not being critical. But everything else looks new!

I had to clean mine up (82 BJ42) earlier this year. I used JB Weld to fill some of the corrosion dimples. Worked great!

Hi Destin I don't like butting in but the timing gears are not just going to fall off. The best way is to remove cam and press off. Otherwise on the fibre one you may have to drill or cut the hub off cam, then drill and tap cam to put it back on. Do not lever too much on gear to pull it off or you will break cam retaining plate. I hope I have not scared you too much,don't forget to time the gears, so have fun. Cheers Fred.

Hehe thanks for the warning man.

Drilling and cutting them off sounds a bit of putting to be honest...
Maybe this is a bit out of my reach :(
 
Destin,

What are those angle iron chunks on the front center of the frame for?
 
every time you put another part on all i can say is....ooooooo ahhhhhhh

hows the gear going?
 
The green really sets it off. Very nice.

Destin, any chance you can clean the lens on your camera? Many of your recent photos are coming through a little soft. I think your lens is smudged.

Don't forget about the wrenches on the right front frame rail!

Thanks man :D

the timing gear?
Fwed was saying something about drilling and cutting to get the gears free, so I am kinda questioning wether or not it is within my grasps :D

At the very least i will pull the main pully off and look to see what the gears look like.

:D

Still need to get Shane's 411 on the jack painting, where are ya man? :D

Thanks man :D

I will clean the lens, probably has a mix of salt/sand and dog from the last trip to the beach :D

i need to be more careful with my tools though hehe, just noticed that when you mentioned it :D Fortunately it is a smooth ride from in and outta the shop bay :D


Looked on SOR for the proper thermostat housing, nada to be found :(

Taking the fan, pully, and some other bits to the powder coater soon

Cleaned up some electrical stuff today a bit too, will post more photos once i get this project for work deployed. :D
