A buddy of mine put those clear lenses in his SC the other week with Sylvania H4s. Super sexy! My GLH is getting them for sure!

Very cool.

I think I showed you the projectors in the cop car. Great lights mean safety.

Ohh yes I remember them, those looked mean on that Pursuit Vehicle. Still can't get over the decal on the windshield... When you was telling us the story about the "black folder" I made up my mind I need to get a clean cop car(would love to have a station wagon like yours). I would have fun with one and traffic wouldn't be that bad lol!

Got the headlights in, they are sweet!

There are sign's of a leaking head gasket, steam from water pump/hose, radiator w/ cap off, and that little bypass valve near the heater core entry of the firewall(I wish I could remember what that's called). I think that is where the sweet scent of coolant is coming from that you get a hint of when it is started up and the heater is on or you eventually turn it on. Either way when the heater first come's on there is a hint of a sweet scent

Anyone know if the 2.5 TB will be fine with a .60 shaved head without a spacer? Piston's are the dished 2.5s

[BAKES]

the 2.5l t block i built for the 85 glh had .40 off the swirl port head with flat top pistons cleareded ok but i would want to tryto see if it was free running anymore .

[BAKES]

you will have back down to timing a degree

[moparfwdsleeper]

I wonder if I put #1 TDC and turn the camshaft if I would be able to tell if the valve hits the piston

what do you mean by this?

[BAKES]

sorry wrong words might have to back the timing down a degree higher compression it might ping
with one gasket in there not torqued bolts finger tight and plugs removed cam in the tdc postion turn the bottom end by hand 360degrees and see if it binds

[BAKES]

but note if it binds this might just mean it wont be free running motor any more

[BAKES]

best way would be to put putty /playdough on the piston mock up the head and cam belt and roll the motor over by hand remove the head and measure the crush between valve and piston min spec for intake .090 and .100 exhaust
