Love my brown dogs. Made in america was just a nice addition too. They are super sturdy, made with plate steel and fully welded. Not stamped steel like the factory, definitely worth the $ IMO.

Hey hennessee....would you mind explaining/taking a pic of how you stacked the pucks and attached them? I've got a plethora of pucks laying around and need to do something for stops as mine have completely rotted away. Thanks.

You can either epoxy em together..or drill through them and run a long bolt with a washer and a nut through them and the coil bucket.

Hey everyone, got a quick question, creamy oil; anything other than a blown head gasket or cracked block/ head an option for causing it?
The background, I bought a '94 sport, with 340000 miles on it,I know and trust the guy I bought it from, he said the engine was replaced with a long block at 300k, the oil was slightly burnt when I bought it, it had set a while, and the rear main was leaking, so I drained the oil and replaced the main seal, I scratched the seal putting it in, so I had too do it again, when I drained the oil the second time it was creamy,I got a seal in successfully this time, I'm not sure if the oil is creamy again, I'll be going over to look at it today.

It runs awesome, no loss of power, compression, missing or anything like that . I'll be checking the coolant system this evening, it's at my parents where I work on things since they have a garage, air compressor, floor jack , jack stands etc. Just trying to get all my thoughts in order before I open this can of worms,I may have run it down to 3 quarts of oil when the main was leaking , could that have caused oil to get creamy from the pickup whipping it?

Once you drain it drive it for a day. Check the oil and coolant at the end of the day.

Well I have a 99 and take really good care of it. I just want to clean it up a but n try to get better gas mileage. Would it be safer to just put some in the gas tank and NOT the brake booster. I wasn't planning on putting any in the oil anyway, too risky IMO.
