Thread: Finally getting some maintenance done. Help on list.

Ok so I have a few weeks off from school and I want to get some work done on my car. Here is a list of things I want to do and what I am buying. Let me know what else I may need or should do.

-Need to see where coolant is leaking. Make sure it is just the lim or uim
-Coolant flush (going green)
..........-180 not drilled thermostat and gasket
..........-flush kit and coolant
-Replace LIM
...........-Aluminum lim gasket and black rtv
...........-Supercharger gasket (unless I can remove it all together)
...........-2 o-rings (should I have them filled and adjust for the rear head coolant flow?)
...........-6 injector o-rings
...........-2 coolant elbows
-Flip dog bones while I'm in there.
-Replace coupler maybe (going to have it ported later so might wait)
-2 oil changes
-Maybe plugs and wires later
-Smooth out valve covers
............-Paint, but idk what color. Probably black with red or silver lettering
............-Replace gaskets

I think that is about it for now. Hopefully I can find enough money to do it all lol. I also hope it isn't my head gasket leaking. So many more things on my list too.

maybe new belts while ur at it, also since alt. will be off, throw a voltage booster on there.....

Well the supercharger belt is already new. I will check the other one and the votage booster.

I have some exhaust work to do, so I will do the sensor then. The pulleys are already replaced and no money for some of those things but I'm trying to get all I can.

my opinion is to get a denso brand o2 sensor for the top o2 sensor(most accurate, better than bosch) otherwise zef covered it very well

Should I use the chemical flush kit or just use water to flush my coolant system?

I like using machines for flushing coolant you actually do a full flush.

It cost around 100 bucks to do a flush around here, so I'm going to save the money.

haha Ya I called them today and they said 118. I know they are usually cheap because they suck.
