    seen that vid, didnt seem all that bad really.
    I didn't even remove the belt or mounting bolts lol. Just replaced the clutch as that was the faulty part.

    cool, i didnt think there would be enough room for the puller and tools to work freely in. good to know.


    me. picked up 2 band clamps for the header install.



    and for some reason my rad cap is letting coolant push out of it. it was wet again. time for a new cap. i just changed this one. so maybe ill put the one that worked ok back in. i still have it somewhere.

    Yeah the puller is pretty small, pretty neat tool. It removes and installs the press fit clutches
    Some aftermarket caps fit too loose. And if the radiator is cheap enough it may cause the issue.

    Well I was a bit confused as to what the issue was. Coolant pushing out of it would mean its letting it go to the overflow tank. But you said it was wet so I guess its getting past the inside seal. If the second one it might not fit as tightly as it should

    Went to junk yard and pulled 2 L67 heads, the ones i sent to the machine shop had cracks between intake and exhaust valves. Grabbed a heavy duty police Impala 9c1 alternator 125amp and the dual high speed fan assembly of it also, much better cooling

    Like 90% of heads will get those cracks, and nothing happens. I woulda cleaned them up, did the valve jobs and whatever you were gunna do and run them without a single care.

    Just finished the Transgo install, with a twist. I left the DIY spacer on top of the 1-2 accumulator, and added the red spring in with the 1-2 springs as well (on the bottom). Shifts much better, but I reset TAP's so time will tell. I also used a bottle of Lubeguard Red and ~8 quarts of Dex VI. Shifts a much quicker, 1-2 is about 0.1 seconds, 2-3 is 0.08, and my 3-4 is 0.13.

    Now onto to the other 2 problems. I clatter-ish noise coming from the rear of the engine, possibly the engine or the transmission, not sure. Also, while cruising at low speeds (30 MPH - NOT in lock-up) the RPM randomly drop to about 500 (from 1000-1100), then come right back up. You almost wouldn't notice it, but the lights dim and you can hear it in the exhaust. I have yet to have it happen in Neutral\Park, only in Drive.

    I had this issue with a new rad and cap, all I did was tighten up the two tabs a bit and has worked since. Should work for you as long as the seal is still good. Make sure there even when/if you do this
