55822, 3 days into break in - maintenance question
Posted by DR1665, Jul-23-03 08:30 AM
So here I am enjoying driving my own damn car again and I'm thinking I'd like to get some input on the sort of things I need to keep an eye out for or do in these first few important days/weeks.
I know I need to recheck/torque the head bolts a couple times and the same thing with the header bolts too. I'm also thinking I might want to double check some of the suspension bolts since we pulled the CVs when we dropped the tranny and they're kinda important.
I will change my oil this weekend and I'm thinking about doing a flush and fill on my radiator etc in the near future.
Are there any other things I should keep an eye out for or things to tighten/check? So far I have had the trickle of coolant down the front of the block, but it dried right up and hasn't been back since. Also, and this is almost the best part of the rebuild, NO OIL LEAKS ANYMORE! :7
Any input would be, as always, greatly appreciated. :thumbsup
