Actually have a buddy that just told me 30 lol. Head has 84k on it. Stripped all of the interior out today and cleaning everything up. Has 2gn console with 2gn ebrake handle. Someone told me that the ebrake was adjustable at the lever unlike the 2gn. Is that true. If so, maybe I can't do that now that it has the 2gn lever.

I'm capable of changing the head lol. And I'd sell you the roof rack if it wasn't screwed straight into the roof.

The stock mounts go into the strips on top somehow, but he didn't use the factory mounting.

And yea I want to get it through the winter for now, then start on it as a little project

Thanks. I'll get some pictures of it all cleaned up if everything goes well this weekend.

And here's come crappy dirty cell-pics of my car with the eyelids on.

Color-matched eyelids = Sexy win. I'm so glad they aren't black.

Woke up this morning to see this

Was hoping to have the coupe on the road by the first time it snowed. Plus I don't like having to scrape my windows since the coupe is taking up my garage space..

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Sat Dec 05, 2009 6:37 pm

Valves are bent. Going to pick up a head after work tomorrow.

Get that head on fast! Poor little OB neon

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Mon Dec 07, 2009 11:33 am

Yea it don't like me. We rearranged the garage so they all fit in for now. New head is going to machine shop to get hot tanked and shit like that. Now I'm going to paint valve cover and intake manifold. First question is red or black. Wrinkle or gloss finish?

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Mon Dec 07, 2009 11:38 am

Do it black, it hides more. And gloss is easier to clean.

NeonOn19s · Post by **NeonOn19s** » Mon Dec 07, 2009 2:29 pm

black and gloss = WIN

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Mon Dec 07, 2009 4:20 pm

I picked up a can of Black SemiGloss Engine Paint Today.

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 5:51 pm

Valve Cover came out okay... I didn't put much time into sanding it and it looks like someone sanded half the metal down on top. The hole thing along with the intake was covered in oil. Intake is still soaking in purple power. Oh well better than before.

Anyone have any tips on gasket matching/polishing the head and intake mani?

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 9:33 pm

I think it came out damn good from the way the picture looks

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 11:05 pm

Yea you can't tell in picture but you can tell the little spots in person, but thanks.

Started to lightly port and polish the intake. Dam does that take forever. Granted this is my first time.

Throttle body side is done, and one port is done. 3 more to go plus the head lol.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 1:14 pm

That's one thing I'm not sure I'd have the patience for...it takes FOREVER to do. Do you have the Carbide bits for a dremel, what method are you using?

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 2:17 pm

I have an air dremel and electric dremel. Air is a snap-on one with metal cutting bits, not sure what the exact name of it is. I'll check tonight.

The electric one I'm using the sandpaper attachment to make smooth, and then the little wire wheel thing to make it shiny and smoother.

It is my first time so just kinda winging it lol.

Hey doofus, your 1gn get's it's own log.

heydockyle · Post by **heydockyle** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 2:19 pm

I don't get enough attention with one log for both, let alone 2 logs lol. Maybe once I get it all together and running I will start a new one.
