Exclamation Mound Restoration 2003 website UPDATED 3-9-03 & 3-11-03

Got the latest pics up....showing some progress but I;ve got plenty left to do. Advice for anyone: if you got a leaking anything, fix it NOW, rather than giving yourself more work down the line.

New:

3-9-03: Engine block cleaning, some clean parts.
3-11-03: A brief OMP rebuild tutorial.

Looking good man. I cleaned my engine a little bit, but I wanna clean my rotor housings better, and get the OMP rebuilt. I just emailed Lowe Performance, and Im hoping that I can get one of those kits soon .

It's tedious and sometimes it sucks, hard to motivate, so it's taking longer than expected. But it will be worth it when it's finished.

Right on.

I called him, he told me to e-mail him my credit card info, and it arrived a few days later. BTW, I think the e-mail address he gave me was different than that on the website. Give him a call.

Right on.

wow that block is looking shiney.

I'm doing the same thing to mine, only not nearly as in depth as yours.

I'm just cleaning the outside of things.

i DID take out my power steering and air conditioner and air pump tho....

LOL, thanks Derrick....yeah bring the SA to the next Rudy's meeting....I'll probably be at that one, maybe I'll have the Mound going again.

I know you have never seen the engine that clean because it's never been that clean. It won't be perfect (I try to do a cost-benefit analysis along the way as far as perfection goes) but it'll look good. And it should run better too, as I am replacing/rebuilding a lot of parts along the way.

See ya saturday.
