How the head gasket doing? I haven't heard any updates.

 

Last trip to flagpole I accidentally left my radiator cap off after topping off, and lost it. Tyler grabbed me some cheap aftermarket one from advanced auto, and that has significantly slowed the egress of coolant into the overflow. I made it all the way home from Tennessee (10 hour drive) without needing to top off the radiator. So for now, it’s going fine. Hopefully it doesn’t get worse.

 

Was someone else looking for 16" steel wheels?

Well thats good. Did you try head gasket repair by chance? I doubt it would work, but i also doubt it would make it worse.

 

Me too Rob!

 

I did not, I don’t want to. I’ve heard some pretty mixed things and I don’t want to wreck my cooling system.

 

Pro tip, dorman 610-254 wheel studs are a direct replacement for bora wheel spacers. $2 at the auto parts store. Hammered the old one out, and had the new one installed in a matter of minutes.

 

What size spacer is that? Good to know for mine! I figured that the spacer companies probably used some aftermarket off the shelf 12x1.5 stud. Glad you figured it out.

 

That’s a 2”! You can confirm by looking at the back of the stud. Should say 254 on it. If it’s a different number, try searching “dorman 610-XXX” with the numbers and see what comes up.

 

Ummmmm I'm not taking my wheels off to take my spacers off to look until I break one
Damn I didn't realize you had 2" spacers holy smokes.

 

You letting your grass go to seed before you harvest it, Randy?

 

Well duh lol I didn’t mean do it now. And only 2” in the rear to clear the shocks. Front are 1.25”.

That’s my fucking neighbors lawn. The ones that complained.

 

Aaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Should print screen what pabst said. Print it and put it on their door hahahahah

 

Daaaammmnnnnnnnnnnn.

 

Are your front wheels hella in compared to the rear? I actually run a .75 space in the front to add width to make up for the width lost in lift.

 

They’re approximately 0.75” narrower than the rear, give or take 0”.

 

I'm looking for that magic full width axle look

 

How much do you really think you lost with the lift like maybe 1/8"

 

I couldn't really tell it would of taken some close investigation to tell that.

 

But for real though, unless you’re actively looking for it, you won’t notice the difference. Like skip said.
