    O'Reileys- 3 Bucks. Only place that had it to boot.

    I forgot to say, a few days ago, I ordered

    Gasket Set
    22R Dbl Chain Timing set,
    And a set of motor mounts.

    What a nice problem, having power tearing up shat. :lol:

    Should get the hybrid on the stand, and do a quicky refresh before it goes in the Celi.

    Won't hurt to freshen up the beast! That's why I got the mounts from Robert here on the boards... Just gotta put loctite and lock washers on everything so they don't vibrate loose! :lol:

    Good progress this weekend...

    Got the hybrid on the stand in the garage. Got it stripped down to a shortblock and cleaned the snot out of it. Before...

    Im thinking of running the upper valve cover, the smaller lettering looks more, "old school" or something. Itll get repainted.

    Opinions?

    hehehehe... elbow grease my boy!!.....

    "jizz" it down with some eng. degreaser...
    then scrape it down with a screw driver or rag or wtvr...
    then "jizz" it some more with degreaser... then clean again with rag or wtvr... rag works best...
    then spray it with brake kleen or 3m brake cleaner... and you'll see a lightish brown... it should be just dirt... use a scour, green pads, and you clean it with that!... ceramic alum. paint... mwahahhaha
