LMAO not for me it aint!!! Its big around as a beer can! Oh you were talking car talk. I am not certain. They make different designs I am sure. Just go to Summit Racing and type in the search bar " seals it grommet" and it will come up. You may even see if "seals it" has a website for further information.

This picture sucks, it's really washed out, I'll be grinding on this later and get a better shot,

And this was todays purchase, a AGR 12.7, steering box, it's 2 3/4 turns lock to lock, along with the Turn One pump and everything should be great! it a little soiled looks like someone spilled brake fluid all over it, time to clean,

I was getting ready to pull the plug and order a aftermarket subframe but I'm going to save the money for other stuff,

Notch looks good. Did you fab it up yourself or did you get the kit?
Your moving right along. Great work as usual. The Victor looks right at home.
Did you see Futureusers balancer? Its an under drive unit. I just bought a stock LS1 Fbody unit brand new from the dealer for $65.

No, I bought the BMR or ? kit, it was easier, I'm at a time vs money type of thing, some stuff I'll fab, but if it equals time vs money, I'll usually buy what I need, if it's within reason,

I want to get rid of the BBC in the Nova, the intake was a deal, and one of the mags did a junkyard 5.3 with the S/C, I want to follow suit,

I'll have to check out the balancer, thats all I need to finish up the accessories, small stuff right now, but I'm forging ahead,

ready for all you guys to turn the key and tell me how much fun your having driving your cars!!!!

I know you can send them off to have them cleaned and flowed so I assume yes they can be cleaned off of the rails. There is a sponsor on here that does it for a fee but I am not sure of who they are. I am sure it will come up in a search.
