Taylor's White Hot Build

[cgg17]

Throw out bearing was completely smoked. New parts are installed and feeling great. Tried the 45 minute method again and ended up rounding off a bolt head on the old pressure plate which had weak "fingers" already.

Also, Wednesday is dyno day to see what kind of power it makes.

What is the 45 minute method?

Where you separate the engine and trans without unbolting the subframe.

Girlfriend bought me a set of adjustable timing gears after I broke my timing cover. Great time to install these when it's off.

Took advantage of all the sun we've had lately and pressure washed and dyed the carpets. I'd post a picture by the mobile site is being wonky. I'll post them later. All black with floormats.

Loaded in my friend's sketchy russian trailer for transport down to Arizona. The only transporter I trust. We also just barely fit my Suburban and toolbox in there.

I hope you torqued them and put thread locker on them. I got lucky when mine moved, but I had cams that caused more stress.
