Guest TurboSedan Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 well i finally installed my oil pump & pan today. then when i went to install the TGP oil cooler/filter adapter i realized i need two O-rings... i need the O-ring on the shaft itself (it goes through the oil cooler & adapter and screws into the block), and the bigger O-ring that goes in between the adapter and the cooler itself. i already have the gasket that goes between the adapter and the block surface, i just need the O-rings now. anyone got any part #s?? TIA Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted February 25, 2005 Report Posted February 25, 2005 i bought the new O-rings i needed today. i tried the GM dealer first and no luck there so i tried NAPA and found them. it cost me a little under $2 for both O-rings. i'm going out to install the filter adapter/cooler thingy right now thanks Quote
TGPilot Posted February 25, 2005 Report Posted February 25, 2005 i'm going out to install the filter adapter/cooler thingy right now thanks She is getting closer to starting up eh man?? If you want everything to work properly...before you turn the key you have to put a splash of Beer or a shot of Jack Daniels in the radiator!! Quote

If you want everything to work properly...before you turn the key you have to put a splash of Beer or a shot of Jack Daniels in the radiator!! haha yes i'm getting very close now. i spent about $100 on the car today and got the flywheel resurfaced and a few other things done. tomarrow morning i'm adding new oil and filter and then i'm going to spin the oil pump drive with a drill while i turn the motor over by hand a few times. then it's the dist drive O-ring, and the valve covers. then it's time to pull the engine off the stand and install the flywheel/clutch/TO bearing and slip the 282 back on i should have it installed in the car within an hour or so after that! i'm really really hoping to have the engine and trans in the car tomarrow and running/driving soon afterwards.....i just need that memcal from Jay!! (and a turbo support bracket!) Quote
TGPilot Posted February 25, 2005 Report Posted February 25, 2005 i just need that memcal from Jay!! (and a turbo support bracket!) Don't worry about the support bracket too much. The stock downpipe is pretty heavy duty and the crossover is no slouch either... Quote

The stock downpipe is pretty heavy duty and the crossover is no slouch either... this is probably a stupid queston, but do you think the car could make it down to Ft.Collins (for dyno day!) without a turbo support bracket? it seems like the dowpipe itself would give it alot of support. i could really care less about my crossover pipe - it was rebuilt by RedZ with new flex bellows but i'd like to make another custom crossover pipe later with mandrel bent pipe and a T3 flange...so my current crossover pipe is really only temporary. or i might just get a JeffM pipe depending on which turbo i go with later.
