So what year Deere you putting that in Scotty?
if you wanna bust balls do it a supportive manner, like hey "you know nothing runs like a deere!!!!!!" lmao
I like your new avatar scotty
got in and drove it.. can't tell you how much i enjoy not having to worry about ANYTHING!!!! get in and drive thats it.
its fitting at this point. lol
When I saw you were painting the valve covers yellow too, I found your profile pic very fitting lol
The argument for the block was that you don't really see much of it anyway. Well the front valve cover is pretty visible lol
Too much yellow. Should kept the vc back along with the SC

Oh man, the yellow jacket is fulfilled lol
Finally learned what table modifier is, and I like it :) Trims are sooo much better. Now that I can go wot knock free, I've noticed I have a miss. What is a good plug gap for my setup? Think I gapped the 104's at .55.
Edit: SD I like the color scheme now. First pics you posted made it look like pastel yellow, something you would paint a nursery in lol. New pics look mucho better. Kinda makes me want to go till a field, but that's cool too. :)
try gaping em at 0.50.
you need to remember, you cant see 90% of a engine when its installed in the car. once the headers are on you'll hardly see the block or pan ever again.
just my attempt at being different. red and black was not gonna happen. its what almost everyone does.
I'll try that.Quote:
