Can't Wait.....

Just got some work done on the Bronco this past week...

engine flush
Oil change
fuel filter
PCV valve (really needed)
and some small fixing

I had some major oil foaming going on and lots of leaks so I thought that there was really bad blow by and in need for a major rebuild. Well when I changed the PCV there went my foaming and I put in really thin oil (5w30) and a can of restore now I just have to drain the oil soon and put in something thicker, prob 15w40 or something like that. I have some new wires and plugs, cap and rotor to put on.

Now for the really really good part............
I did some stereo work for a local preformance/tire shop here in town and I got a really good deal for a stock size 2bbl Holly carb that I need to put on the Bronco...................

Just had to let you guys in on the good news

Well that's all good but what about your SAS (solid axle swap)?? Guess you gotta get more money eh?

If you want to go to a thicker oil, try 10w40 first. 20w50 is really thick oil for summer use. 15w40 is usually for diesels with different addatives.

Beast I have been debating the SAS for a whyle, I have done some major research on it and come to find out that is you will loose alot of ride comfort and with all the travelling with camping, I think that is something I just might keep for a all time off-roader, and just do a small lift and buy bigger tires for this one.

Thanx for the tip Deal I might try the 10w40, I do alot of travelling and I want to protect this motor as long as I can. I have another block to build up but no$$$$$$ to do it with..
