Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project
I guess the new motor is on hold till the owner remembers he wants to sell it. He's back to thinking about if he still wants it. It's ok, I don't have the funds yet to start machine work anyway. I can be patient with him. It also means I don't have to store it yet.
Today I received a neat package in the mail, which was three rolls of blue silicone tape. I've never used this stuff, but it sure is cool. I wanted to stiffen up the section from the intercooler to the carb hat and make it "1 piece" so it was easier to remove for valve cover removal or anything like that.
Before:
After:
The tape sticks only to itself, and to the silicone couplers. After about 2 hours it was solid. It's super cool, and I recommend it. The tube is sealed and I pressure tested it with 40 psi. It seems fine to me. No leaks. time will tell. I can still put clamps on it later if need be. I did put about 5 wraps on the whole thing, and that used up all three rolls stretched out.
