Thanks. Took some time to develop the trust.

Another hot but accomplished weekend. Q5 in the books.

Guess that could do the trick. 

I typically don't come across paint that old but with single stage paint sometimes you can use a glaze to soften things up some. Those swirls could buff out but she looks really dry. The white I've never come across except for some paint that gets "sun burnt". The clear is damaged but in your...

1st detail of the year. Full correction with ceramic coating on this s5.

Does anyone make a stub of a antenna? Don't want to factor style one and don't want a retractable one either.

Fingers crossed guys. Two of the nuts on the end where the leak is were definitely lose.

Thanks for the heads up. Buddy at work lent me his 1/4" in/lb torque wrench. Ill report back by the end of the weekend. 

I agree. Unfortunately I can't find any specs. One thing I saw was 12ft/lbs. Not sure if it has more to do with the pan or gasket used?

Lol, it's like you know me! Thanks man

Fair enough.  Start with the simple stuff I can see. Not that I really want to live with any leaks but primarily as long as it's not the rear main I can deal with the rest. I don't want to lose my clutch!

My oil pressure is a little on the higher side but I'm not sure if that's because of how new everything is. She idles in the 70's but haven't driven it enough to see cruise pressure 

What's the method to confirm I don't have a crankcase pressure issue?

Appreciate the support. Was pretty disappointed last night thinking about the worst-case scenario...which could still be the case but hey, it's just money and metal.

That's somewhat comforting. I'm hopeful on the fact that I can see oil on the two oil threads. Again there is zero signs of anything inside the bell.

I've been posting here and there about my progress with my 408c holley EFI build. Well...yesterday I finally got the tires to the road and other than the tune needing to get right everything seemed awesome. I've got several heat cycles in before her maiden voyage.  Get her back into the garage...

Currently I have both turning on at the same time. On at 195 and off at 185.

Lots of good insight. Thanks! I'm currently using the port in the block just below the stat. 

Sorry for the repeat guys but I can't find the post that had this discussion.  I'm using a 180 stat along with dual electric fans. I'm also using my sniper to control on and off temps.  What temps would you set them for based on the 180 stat? Would you have both come on at the same time? If...

FINALLY got my mufflers an x pipe installed. Still have to go over the axles but I'm ready for the rollers. Took me a little bit to get the IAC to settle correctly for the Sniper but she's finally happy.
