Removed the supertrapp exhaust and installed a dynomax turbo muffler on the race car. The neighbors were complaining when I ran the car in the driveway. Not only that but I was getting sick of the raspy sound.

Pealed all of the PO's stickers, racing numbers, and sponsers off to begin preping the car for a new coat of Solar Yellow. Will try and get the car to my friends house where we'll be painting it.

This was my first thing I've done to this car since I've owned it. Love it!

Drained tank and replaced the fuel filter. Tried to get her to start after a long term in storage, and no freakin start... $@#&*%!

Now the fun starts.

Finished pulling the head off, so glad I decided to that while fixing a cam cover oil leak, found one sad looking head gasket.

make sure you re-lubricate the AFM door after cleaning. trust me on this. if it squeaks when you manually open it, LUBRICATE IT. if it still squeaks after lubing, you've ruined it. BTDTGTTS

Can you elaborate more on this. All I did was clean off the strip with an eraser and slightly bent the arm. How would I grease the arm? Also what should I use to clean the contacts, q-tip and alcohol?
