Lol Matt :)

I'll have it on after I get the intakes back from being ported and installed. I don't want any accidents here. That thing is far too badass to drop something on, it would only be my luck.

Ahhh ok, just figured you were holding out on us. When you get that valve cover and stuff on be sure to email me a couple really nice photos that we can use.

And speaking of valve cover, that reminds me I still need to ship that stock one to you. Text or PM your shipping address and I'll get that headed your way.

Heh...I totally spaced that! I will shoot you a txt right now!

[M-Rod]

Definitely. I think I may take out my actual camera for that one. It will be worthy of more than a mere phone picture.

Much thanks to Silvertune on c3g. My throttle body is ported and has new mil spec shaft seals. Next up are my upper and lower intake manifolds. Time to get the 3.8 breathing properly.

Finished product.

Oooh daddy likey nice n shiny too

[M-Rod]

Uncovered this today. Looks like the timing belt tensioner is completely shot.

[beam514]

damn! that wasn't new when you put it in was it?

[M-Rod]

It was the OEM with 21k on it. I'm replacing it with a new one tonight.

[deeznutz]

Lucky the belt didn't skip.

[M-Rod]

No doubt. It's all good now. Started it tonight for the first time in about 5 months, and it's got some new goodies. Should be on the road soon.

[Galantman03]

Looking good man! I wanna see it on the road

[polishmafia]

Damn, got lucky with that tensioner. Good catch bro.

[M-Rod]

Thanks to Justin. He was pushing me to get my intake manifolds off for porting, and during that he noticed my belt had a lot of slack. Upon further investigation, that's what was found. Luckily it didn't skip any teeth.

[M-Rod]

New exhaust. 3 inch, mandrel bent, and stainless. Win, win, and more win!

[Galantman03]

Clean! What brand?

[M-Rod]

It's an eBay off-brand for a 2g gst. I know it directly fits the 3g also, and I've seen one instance of it locally gaining 8whp bolt on for a built 6g74. Not bad for $125

[Corey2kG]

Be sure to send that 3g muffler my way lol. Nice pick up Matt.
