    sounds good ya there's always air in the engine when it's been drained and you have to run it and shut it down a bunch of times for the air to work out if you just run it the engine will overheat but you were in a situation where you needed the engine to run in order for breakin. 72 oldsmobile supreme and 75 delta convert over here in dedham

    Do you have any videos on how you completed the firewall block off plate for the vintage air?

    • @borgtriestofixit
      @borgtriestofixit Před 5 měsíci

      I don't, unfortunately. But i remember it wasn't too hard. When looking from the engine side of the firewall, I used the drill to make the two holes on the left upper and lower corners bigger as the instructions directed. Then the two bolts on the right hold in the block off plate, and the two bigger holes on the left hold the unit inside the car. To put the bolts in that hold the unit, I needed help - one person to hold up the unit inside the car and one person in the engine bay feeding in the bolts. Hope that helps!

    I recently did all this for a bad waterpump. The chain thing is fairly normal too. They make an updated timing cover access port that also does the job of that bolt, as the bolt holding the guide in is to blame for these failures. Easy easy to replace that. The waterpump, not so much.

    Just remember after about 20 thousand miles you will have a open diff again unless you replace the clutch pack, don't know what you paid, but I think I'm going to spend a little more and get the Torsen diff, works the same as one with the clutch pack, but doesn't have a clutch pack, or any parts that will have to be replaced because of wear. I almost went with the Yukon, but I didn't like the idea of slowly loosing the posi because of clutches being worn smooth, the Torsen uses steel worm gear that still does the limited slip but doesn't wear out. You're doing great though, and you can be proud of the job you're doing.
