I made an album of replacing the heads on my truck

[Yamaben]

I'm new to this board. I am off work today and it's too cold to do anything outside so I made an album and posted it here.

I posted it as an Imgur album on Reddit, and a couple people told me a board like this might appreciate it more.

Just did a quick read of the thread. Nice job. And Cool valve covers!

That radiator hose support is similar to what my 454 has holding it up. So don't worry about the "Redneckness" of it.

It would better if I least paint it black I guess. Not too worried about it, they don't come much more redneck than me anyway

Yamaben. What about something like this for the extra air you want?

Just get one of these with a paper element instead, Yamaben. Eventually the K&N filter gauze will degrade and you'll start sucking in any bit of dirt in the air through it.

Hey that looks pretty good. I might just get that. This thing looks like it actually might not be a waste of money either. The stock housing is pretty shrouded with the drop base it has

Any link to flow comparison between paper and gauze? I like paper better too, but I wonder how tall it needs to be to flow like a 3 inch gauze filter? Surely 5 inch paper would do the trick?

Nice write up, and reassuring to see another guy get carried away with the "while I'm at its".
