and leave it to the last one to break

valve covers look nasty, same with the headers. good luck with the install. those motors are not fun to work on.

that should help ya breathe a little better.

Good luck Ben! Have fun!

looks like a ton of fun. should sound good when done. What r ya gonna do about that broken bolt?

i have got it soaking in PB blaster now when i get the chance to work on it probably tomorrow there is enough to get a pair of vise grips on it so ill try that maybe a little heat if i have too we will see what happens

weld a nut to it.....

What he said if you can, but try a torch first. I broke a bolt off in the block removing the thermostat housing from my Escort, just a little heating up and it came out with vise grips.

heat it up with a torch then cool it with that rust cracker cold spray and it should come right out

so tried the pb blaster heating with the torch vise grips and a bolt extractor and it wont budge so were gunna try welding a nut on and see if that gets us anywhere

sounds like u having a fun time lol

hahaha yea having a blast with it...atleast its not the middle of the summer

Wow you have an 86 TPI with perimeter bolt covers? Must of been early in the production year, VERY cool

its not THAT uncommon. 86 was the swap year. vettes were the same way.

yea it was early in the year..my dads built in march and according to the VIN my car is about 1000 cars before his

so i never really updated this but i came across some of the pics on my camera today so i figured better late then never right? lol

The pushrods didnt rub the heads or anyhting with the 1.6 rockers did they? A lot of the times you hafta elongate the pushrod holes.

i was just gunna say that along with.... They had better be self guiding rockers.....?????

They look to be from the pictures. Those are good rockers.. for aluminums.

i cant see the trununs or spindlles in those pics. and they need to have the 2 guides on the front that keep em centered on the valve stem. I HOPE YOU GOT THR RIGHT SHIT BENJAMIN!!!!!!

i got the right ones i did my research paul from blue magic performance ordered them for me! no faith from you guys

I had faith they were the right ones... but do they rub? I know 1.6's rubbed on my heads.

no they dont rub we checked EVERYTHING once they were on..cranked the engine over a few times to make sure

I love the throttle body plate :giggle:
