    Plastidip sucks. I don't care what anyone says. THat stuff fucking sucks to remove.

    If anyone should be saying this it should be me=) On properly prepped surfaces of smaller sizes it is actually good stuff. Too thin and it sucks

      Yes, Plasti dip = the shit ( if used properly ). You HAVE to lay it on thick and at LEAST two coats. You also want to hit the surfaces that you are over spraying on hard too to make for easy removal. If you have a light dusting, I have used alcohol and a rag to wipe away.I have even sprayed another coat on something I was removing just to remove it easier.

      BTW has anyone heard of anyone putting an m44 flywheel and clutch into any 6 cylinder?

                    I was replacing the thermostat when I realized the clutch fan blades and clutch were shot. There was a crack in the shroud but not all the way through so I left it. I replaced the broken fan with a new fan clutch and fan that I had and it was fine until this happened:

                    gallery3321251080711.jpg

                    You just can't have anything nice. I think what happened was that the shroud gave way where that crack is allowing the fan blades to interfere. Now I removed it and need to figure out a nice way to wire up the a/c fan to a temp switch of some sort.

                      I went to replace the post cat o2 when I discovered the o2 heated circuit power wire was cooked! Must have shorted on the chassis and just cooked itself.

                      gallery332125721459.jpg

                      I followed it up all the way to the rats nest in the harness on the firewall!

                      gallery332125404748.jpg

                      gallery3321251070716.jpg

                      It was cooked like this all the way up to the little power wire junction crimp in the wire trough.

                      gallery332125773425.jpg

                      I cut a nice long o2 sensor off of one of my other spare wire harnesses. It worked out pretty well so far. All in all it didn't really take that long and It wasn't really that hard. You just need a multimeter to find the wires because they cannot be removed from the rubber passage that brings the wires from under the intake up to the firewall trough.

                          Its a terrable mess when you crack that thing open! Look at the power wire! You would think it would cause interference due to EMI but whatever. I don't have alternator whine!

                                Next thing is to install the entire new front end kit including control arms, sway links, inner and outer tie rod ends. Then its the rear trailing arm bushings.gallery332125699312.jpg
