Foxy Green Foxbody Build

[Low & slow]

It's fucking pathetic. This one has a bad exhaust cam phaser, and timing tensioner let up, caused slack jaw chain to jump a tooth. Luckily no piston and valves were kissing afterwards. 120k mile motor.

Pathetic doesn’t even begin to describe the shit that’s been built for the last 15 years

I was thinking of doing the water pump while I had it apart. The fucking exhaust system has to be dropped to remove the water pump, so I left it alone! These engineers should all be fucking shot!

I just had a realization that I didn't skim coat both sides of the gasket with rtv around the water ports, only the head side.

Should I pull the fuckin thing and redo it

Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

Does that mean nooooooooo I don't have to yank it or..

Noooooooo I fucked up and need to pull it real quick and fix it

If you expect it to stay together for a year+ of street use, pull it and seal it. Otherwise leave it as is then you won't have to scrape the gaskets and can just reinstall the manifold with the existing gaskets next time you pull it for inspection of the lifters.

I have never put sealant on a gasket like that

You think gofundme will allow a Victor junior fund? Doggy surgery really puts a damper on the single plane plans

Not enough motor for that

 

[Yoyodyne]

Lol I run one on a stock 350, runs like a sewing machine. He'd be fine.

Yeah but yours is probably a Corvette motor, makes a big difference from
what I have seen online and heard at car shows.
