I love this shot with the dining room table with the lace tablecloth... CLASSIC

LOL thanks... yeah its my work bench.. kinda thought the lace tablecloth would go nice with the hard look of the semi polished aluminum...

I am living in a small apart. while we hunt for a house to buy... Man do I miss my own shop...

someday I will have a nice garage... *sighs*

sorry to hijack.... back to your worklog....

started the intake manifold... I hope to have in done soon.. finding it hard to get it perfect... will take some time...



here is a pic of the cams I got.. (camera phone pic) ... sorry..

How did you get the fue rails and throttle body to look so good? I know you said you polished them but how did you do that? Looks great, let me know! Thanks!

Check out the link.. step by step.

Well did a little more work on the intake.. I knifed edged aswell.. its sharp enough to cut paper now.... instead of being a patato masher.. now I am just going to pollish half the intake.. it is just so much easier and I think it will look good when its completed.. .. still lots more to go.. but im half way there..

Here are a couple Pic's for a update... Going to start pulling the K8 out today.... THen clean up the engine bay. and out the new motor in..

Well after having the motor for almost a year at my parents house I got it up to my new place. It took me 7hrs with a U-haul and about 150$ of gas.. and I was hung-over to top it all off..

Well here is the k8 just befor I pull it out.. its just on the mounts right now.. still trying to track down a engine picker..



Took me a little while but I got the new motor up on a stand.



Pulled the kl01 cams for some kl31's

I had trouble taking the udp or crank pulley off.. But I got it done with a little work..

heres how I did it

I wedged a wrench between two bolts from where the flywheel is held on and butted it againts the bolts
for the engine stand.




Next I used a 1/2" ratchet wrench witha 21mm socket and a noter ragular wrench for leverage..



worked great for not having any air tools.. and being by myslef..

So I replaced the water pump and t/b along with the pulleys and tensioner....Next will be cleaning the oil pan gunk out getting installing the intake, fule rails, and valve covers..
