just waiting on the turbo. Should be here next week, Precision called me this morning. :thumbsup:

Just enough time to roll it outside and give it a bath!! :yes: :cheers:

Did they identify the problem?

they said the oil ring/seal showed "wear". He was also going to do a mod to the housing to help oil drainage at idle.

Not sure how it had wear after 10 miles of driving or so, but seemed happy with how I had everything set up.

Hey Jody any new updates? Pics, video, something?

well, actually a few things have happened. I pulled the centers of the wheels and had them powdercoated a different color; looks much like I initially wanted the car to look, very happy. Also the turbo showed up today (Saturday) which was a surprise, so I just finished re-installing it.

I swapped to new rear end gears (same 3.50 ratio) to cure a loud whine on decel. I also finally located a stock 4L80E trans pan and gained more ground clearance, so that's been done.

All I'm waiting on is to have my ps pump returned from Synister; I sent it back before Power Tour as it's leaked since new; I don't have anything back yet, so the car is ready to drive but I can't due to the missing pump............. :mad:

I'll post up some good pics of the new look in wheels, and finalized photos when I get it moving next week hopefully. And I'll be buying a new video camera to make a couple videos.:thumbsup:

Jody I had the same thing happen to a 74GTS. And that turbo was new and only ran for 3-5 minutes. Once they changes the ring I pounded it with boost and she never leaked again!

Can't wait to see the video of her running down the road...:thumbsup:

Jody,

I just spent the last 4 hours reading every page of this buildup, saw your car in person at Hot August Nights & it is amazing! No one ever asked you this, but what exactly do you do for work? LOL

He's a bouncer.

Here, that shifty looking character on the right got too close to Sandlin's COPO Chevelle. Jody took care if it.
