The 510 Realm

I agree with Byron - I've had good luck with Fel-pro head gaskets. In all reality - taking the head off becomes common on these engines. The head gasket seems to be one of the few weaker points, might as well get it squared away now.

One thing - did you torque from the middle out on the head bolts?
I found one time that I had some remaining gasket I hadn't cleaned around the aligning dowel that hung me up for a bit. Nothing like taking the head on and off multiple times to get good at it....Good luck.

There's always room for knowledge - no matter how cranky!

I would recommend that you get some pics of the actual rims up on the site, and also put your location in your profile - then everyone knows where you are! Good luck with the sale!

Not sure the diff would be worth the effort to notice. That is why I just put a 1" piece in brake pedal. Easy peasy and leverage increase was substantial, with really good feel. In terms of ratio - moving the mounting point up on the brake pedal arm is effectively doing the same thing in terms...

I have been thinking about this (I recently put on a 7/8" master from a z). I was wondering if you were to raise the attachment point of the clevis to the brake pedal. This would effectively increase pedal travel for the same master stroke - which would soften pedal feel and effort. I did a qui...

I second that. No need to put a crease in a quarter panel when just the bumper could take the hit....The bumper will sit fine without it.

I think (please correct me if I'm wrong) is the solid blue is for radio - and then is headed to the heater. The There is also a harness plug for a tach up there somewhere. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByCvxnHNk90SSmpJOXMxekR2cnc/edit?pli=1&resourcekey=0-YEViG0NXboi0Oti_-7yanQ This is useful.....

So - just for interest I contacted Centric (who owns stop tech) to see what their min. would be. 10,000 units. I asked about cost per - have not heard back. I also reached out to Coleman racing just to see if there would be any benefit from ordering larger qty's. So - going forward once everything i...

They have been NLA for a long time. I started a thread specific to this, and am looking into options for getting some made.

That's a start! Thanks for the link. Useful. I wonder if we got a situation where we could get 10-20 sets made, if they would drop the price as you said. I imagine some of the cost is in the set up. And I agree with you on being a cheaper 510 guy - but then I look around I think everything is crazy ...

I was posting on Rush's project thread and the topic of stock rotors came up. I have been wondering what getting run of these made would entail? Are they something that could be fabricated on a small scale? I know nothing of the metallurgy, process etc., but I know there are people on this forum who...

Stock rotors have become problem for sure. I have been thinking that we (as a group) should get someone to run a batch of them somehow. I don't know what that would actually look like or how realistic it is, but there are people in this community that potentially have the tools/ability. Since the z ...

You do nice work! Its fun to see the "go for it" attitude in action. I think I need to get some of that back!
It's so easy not to do things sometimes.

Can I ask what paint products/process you are using?
