no, you don't.... it's being seasoned....

I think the issue with these is they put the hook on in the wrong spot not that they scaled the distance incorrectly.

I have multiple tape measures for that reason (and convenience) - now my steps to building something is going to be first "calibrate tape measure" to be sure I didn't measure with the HF then build with the craftsman (yeah, it says channel loc but stanley made it off the craftsman production...

how many times have you thought "how the heck did I screw that up?" I saw something on this on a feed on FB, didn't think much about it until today when I decided to see what was what.... the tape measures (in order of the first picture) note the Stanley is 1/8" different then the Craftsman...

update time? So starting the shakedown.... going pretty well.... but some beauty shots for the 'gram As is normal this time of year, we have Canada in the air fun deal, now the tail lights don't work.... did I mention it's dusty, too?

They had those too, but this was farther back and under the engine

GM put a deflector under the engine support on IROC Camaros that was much lower then is 'normal' - it rarely dragged and was pretty effective at helping keep the engine cool. Never considered it would help the brakes too but I'm sure it did

with the solid roller cam, single weights are required - I'm running 30w valvoline racing but could move up to 40w if I really needed more

Now that I've driven the car enough to get it fully warm - my report on the filter is it is excellent. Before my oil pressure would get down to 12 psi when fully hot, now, 33 lbs.

I really need to get around to lowering the floor in my car... lol, someday?

you'd fall over at what those sell for.... think "more than 40k before options"

back to this, first an oil change I bought this filter last year at SEMA, finally getting around to doing the oil change to do it next up, change the rear diff back to the original... I literally lost 10 mph off my top speed with the higher ratio (3.42 stock v. 3.91 currently)

looks great, but what's that red stuff between the springs?

Some suffer from ADD, I love every living minute of it....
