We're kind of a morbid bunch in the automotive business. Tyhis kind of weather is good for our paychecks. As long as no one gets hurt.

Not worth doing - use a premium Cometic or SCE gasket & larger diameter ARP head studs (from W2W). Mr. P. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've heard alot of peple using Comrtic gaskets, but never looked into them. My last build was my GN back in 95. I need to get with the times.

It's raining like a sumbeech here in Lewisville. Suppose to change to freezing rain overnight.

I'll have to try that one.

We're being threatened with this wintery type precipitation stuff this weekend.

Have you thought, or are you going to O-ring the block/heads?

I didn't think you'd have to pay the insurance on your cruiser <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Town owned ... No ... Pesonally owned Beater ... (98 Vic) Yes .... not too bad, only about $500.00 a year. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just curious. Do you get to drive your cruiser home? I have about 3 local PD in my neighborhood, and a state trooper, they all drive theirs home. One is my accross the street neighbor. He's responsible for keeping it clean, ect. Just wondering if that was the norm.

I like #8.

I've seen one similar to that about Texas. Either way I like it.

Damn it!! Thanks! Now I have that song stuck in my head.

They were everywhere during the Iran hostage crisis in 79. Just about every car had one in the window. Buncha youngsters.

I'm using Castrol Syntec 10W30, as I've used Castrol for years with no problems. I ran convetional 10W30 in my old Poncho, and my old trucks, but I'm learning of the tighter tolerances on these engines after being on this board for a couple of years now. I may drop to 5W30 on my next change. Like I said, I still think old school sometimes.

Out of all the years I've had unisured/underinsured motorist we've used it once, but I'll never be without it. It's one of those just in case thing, but definitely worth it.

I'v e alway thought that a 0W-5W30 would be too thin for our part of the country. I know oil has come a long, long way in the last 20 or so years. I've been using 10W30 for years, but I may be thinking old school. You really think the 5W30 is that much better?

550 lb.ft. of torque should be no problem with the big Olds. Sweet set up. Looks like you painted it Pontiac metalic blue.

Hey Iran!!

That would be a cool pic.

Nationwide fuul coverage on my SS, and my wife's Tahoe is $165.00 a month.

What happened to your "I lick Windows" ...? (I loved that one) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Window anyway? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We should ask Mr. Owl. Or Gus the fireman. He knows everything.

We'll pick you up.

I don't think I have a wall in my house big enough for that.
