[QUOTE="Makobra, post: 16332530, member: 193575"] ALRIGHT party ppl so we're full on in drivetrain fixin' mode. I need to shim this pumpkin, slam it in the car, and torque the IRS stuff to spec and we're DONE with the back suspension stuff. This is a case spreader. Its for much bigger stuff than my 8.8 so I made these little adapter slugs that hook into the case holes. My neighbor is a fellow car guy and is going to help me shim this thing with his tools and experience so we're very close on wrapping this diff situation up. [ATTACH=full]1612948[/ATTACH] these are just some massive nuts welded to some quarter inch plate welded to a couple leftover suspension bolts that I cut off. if you got a welder you can make just about anything work amiright? [ATTACH=full]1612949[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1612950[/ATTACH] some bad news on the engine. one of the cams is pretty scored up so I gotta replace it. I considered some aftermarket cams but after seeing that they go for like 1300 bucks I'm like WTF bro hell no. so, I'm not picky about what goes in the engine. I'm open to suggestions but my options are pretty limited to what I can find. [ATTACH=full]1612951[/ATTACH] one of the cylinders needs to be replaced due to overheating and some of the valves were leaking so all of that had to come apart.
