Did some maintenance, got some pics

[Big Thurs]

My HFH finally kicked the bucket a couple months ago so I decided it was time for the motor to come out for some maintenance. New parts include Spec stage 3 clutch, master/slave rebuild, fuel filter, front/rear main seals, steering tie rod boots (not installed yet), passenger cv boots, engine lid prop clip, HFH 1 and 2, timing belt, t-belt tensioner and idler pulley (ordered it by mistake, but it was worth it), water pump, thermostat, valve cover gasket, and a few new exhaust studs. Combined with a crank pulley puller, engine degreaser, purple power, pb blaster, tranny fluid, 3m window weld (filled the motor mounts), and flywheel machining the total comes to about $550-$600. Labor was probably a week of solid work, stretched out to 6 weeks because of work, waiting on parts, etc.

I am really impressed with that 3m window weld. It really stiffened up my mounts without the vibration issues of poly mounts. The only problem is finding the stuff. Carquest had it and was the only place in town that knew what the stuff was. Anyways, I highly recommend doing this mod.

I'll try finding the other pics to get them up.

I just ordered some high shore (perhaps 90A off the top of my head) from McMaster. Worked great for me.

I think I used the 80a. Both of my mounts have cracked by now but they still work hella better than without anything in between. I havent even bothered to mess with them anymore.
