Received some new batches of Cerakote...

[98Z5V]

I'll take it to work, and get pics on Casper The Fucking Ghosts's desk... <thumbsup>

[DNP]

Lol. There's gotta be some hot little 20something working up front. Get her to hold it for you.

Then see if she'll help take pictures of the gun.

[98Z5V]

There are several - you want a group shot?

[DNP]

There you go makin promises again.....

[98Z5V]

Got a full day again tomorrow men - but I'll get some early morning pics of this thing and get it in here.  Early.  <thumbsup>

 

You guys know I just did the radiator in the Dodge - the next day the damn waterpump was leaking...  dripping off the bottom of the balancer.  I should have just bought the waterpump when I picked up the radiator, and done all that shits that day.  I knew better...  :ugone2far:

 

If I had more air-dry Cerakote - and time - I'd coat that waterpump and give you guys pics of it on the engine afterwards...  <lmao>

Here here I blew a head gasket a few weeks ago my thoughts are do just the gasket or the whole motor? Always bad timing when it comes to things you want to finish and things that have to be done! The moon has been bright the last few nights mixed with your wepon light it might be a cool effect ?

What engine?  If it's a V8, doesn't matter what brand, you'll need intake manifold gaskets as well.  If it's a Dodge 5.2 or 5.9 Magnum, I have a serious recommendation for you, since you'll be in that far.   If it's a Ford V6, it's a pain in the Arsehole.  If it's a Jeep 4.0L engine, that thing is a piece of cake.  What you're in for depends on what you're messing with, brother.  Some can be a serious nightmare, when done in the driveway.

Jeep yep easy enough for my first time just seems work or more work is in the way these days !! Need my rig back it's a jeep thing? :)

Exhaust manifold gasket can be reused, just coat both sides of it with some Permatex Copper Spray.  You may not even have an exhaust manifold gasket in there - some 4.0Ls didn't.  Don't remove the intake manifold from the head - just strip most of the $hit off the intake manifold first, and lift the bare intake manifold with the head to get the old gasket out, new gasket in - the head is fucking HEAVY for what it is, warning you now.  Have a buddy there for this one.  Been down this road...  and it's not bad.  With a buddy.

Love that copper spray stuff. Used that stuff when splitting the individual layers of those metal head gaskets to increase compression.

Why can you read minds and motors your like a trick with the salty treat ? Halloween candy corn per say.

I bought it used so it had some aftermarket headers and I think that's were it failed among other things it was born for Canada and sold by a foreign in us ;) it's a jeep thing!

Topic at hand what about a night shot with the vegetation?

^^^  That can be a big jump in power, right there, all across the entire rev range.  3-layer head gasket on a DRZ-S gives you 11.3:1 compression.  Single-layer head gasket from the DRZ-kicker or the DRZ-E bike gives you 12.2:1 compression.  3-layer was 0.027" thick, and the single was 0.010" thick.  Drop 0.017", gain almost a point of compression, on a 90mm bore and 62.6mm stroke.  Easy power.  Numbers jumped a little higher with a 94mm bore, because the combustion chamber size was the same.

 

I've written papers about this $hit - I'll post them in another section.

Use HEAVY bullets.  Light ones will be deflected by veg, and you'll miss...

The water is cold but I was referring to your stick stuck in the garden in the pale moon light?:)

We're still talkin about a rifle here, right?

[shibiwan]

What rifle?

[98Z5V]

Let you guys down again today.  Busy, busy, busy.  Tomorrow morning, for realz.  <lmao>

[98Z5V]

Alright, kept you Shady Bastards waiting long enough...  <lmao>

 

Took the pics at 0645 this morning.  Didn't have time to upoad them before I had to leave for work.  Here you go.

Very nice. Well done.

[DNP]

Where's the shop girls?

[98Z5V]

Those little hookers were skeered.  I might still get one or three to grab the rifle and get a pic.  Don't know. 

[shibiwan]

Looks like bling gold in some of them pics. LOL

[98Z5V]

That's that damn Burnt Bronze.  I'm gonna darken that up before I shoot the XD with it.  It's getting a little bit of Patriot Brown added to it.

 

That batt cap on the EOTech is getting stripped, as well as the Surefire.  They'll get recoated.  I'm not down with the bling of the Burnt Bronze at all... 

[98Z5V]

Burnt Bronze looks sweet in some of these pics below, but you get that stuff in sunlight, and it looks like a Big Gold Tooth.  I ain't joking. 

 

Looks good here, but drag it out in sunlight...  Ugh.

 

 

 

 

[survivalshop]

Looks good !
