Hope you didn't blow a head gasket or crack a head. You gonna do the timing chain at the same time? I don't know if this is for a magnum engine only, but if it works on an LA 318, I wish I installed this TC tensioner when I did my Cooling system and timing chain 2 years ago | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 193 member | member Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 193 | I spent my sunday afternoon working on the front suspension assembly & brakes. I removed all the surface rust & flaking paint with a wirebrush and a bucked of elbow grease. I then removed and cleaned up the calipers and discs. The discs were badly pitted, but cleaned up pretty good using a 'twistwire' cup brush... I may need to get them skimmed at a later stage, but i'll see how they go for now... The calipers are now sliding nicely on the carrier and I recon I should even have some brake action on the front end next time I put my foot on the pedal, what a treat that'll be!
Next weekend, back brake hubs...

Didn't do anything today, but yesterday, I removed my primed air damn, then did a little mudding, followed by a reprime, then a couple coats of blue, and some clearcoat. The primer laid down funny, and left what looks like a lot of dirt. I should've wet sanded at that point, but was hoping the next coats would smooth it out. WRONG. next week, I will wet sand and re-clear. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 3,233 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 3,233 | | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: May 2010 Posts: 2,820 veteran | veteran Joined: May 2010 Posts: 2,820 | gave it a bath , and found an old wood and metal bed frame in the alley ,could there be a rebuild on the interior with jail type bars in the back in the future lol?
