Well the new clutch is in and valve seals are done.

The clutch is sooooooo smooooooth.... No more start up smoke and no more shaky take offs. I LOVE IT!!! Very Happy

Thanks Hammer for all your help (actually for doing pretty much all of it)

oh and we deleted the a/c so that you can actually see the engine under the hood instead of a bunch of garbage. It looks good!

So.... Next plan of attack is the hood and spoiler. My hood didn't fare too well during all the snow and all the paint is peeling but just on the hood. So it's time to get the power bulge hood in the shop and get it painted, then the spoiler and it will be pretty dang sweet! (Gonna have to wait till after cows tho)

Get down and Boogie!

How did the old seals look? The last set I pulled off my V6 were all cracked but still sealed. I'm not gonna be at COWS but good job with the work Wink

Her car was kind of weird. It had the O ring seals on all the valves and all the valve guides were machined for positive style seals. But it only had the positive style seals on the intake valves. Most of the O rings were in pieces inside the springs. I just replaced all of them with positive seals. No more start up smoke.
