yea...Mine's been running for a week, and I have a leak around the front cover...It's hitting pully's/belt and spraying on my hood. not a terrible leak but enough to make me pissed.

Congrats on the running cars. I need to swap out the oil soon. My break in is almost done. Are you two both switching out the tranny fluid as well?

I'm not...I had the ford honey (terry's choice) lube in my trans when I got it about 800 miles ago. When I took it out with my engine, I replaced what was lost from pulling the axles, and I'm leaving it like so. As far as the engine goes...I don't know what I'm doing yet. My big problem right now (other than that slight leak, which is power steering fluid i think) is that my exhaust is loud as a 4 letter word. Under 3k its tolerable but above, its just insanely loud. MSDS headers, through a trubendz y, through a magnaflow non res trubendz is not the way to go with a 3l people. The catback sounded good w/out the y and headers, but its just rediculously loud.

Ya I drove to an exhaust place about 3 miles away just on the headers. Haha ya that was really loud. Now I have 22 inch magnaflow res. and two 18 inch magnaflow res from the trubendz exhuast. It is REALLY deep but sounds awesome. I get compliments on it alot now.
I dont think I will change my tranny fluid after the break in either. If i thought about it before I might have but I already spend 25 bucks on the RP tranny fluid.

Wuss!!!!!!  . I do think a sound clip is in order before you change the exhaust  . I found my exhaust too quiet on my 3L  .

[censored]...let me mess around and find a way to get a sound clip of it....and you'll all be thinking I have a briggs and stratton wide open with a fart can on it...It is honestly that loud and annoying above 3k. My first drive around the block set off a car alarm...the same car I've drven by before with my subs blasting....so unless he recently made his alarm that sensitive...My [censored] is loud.

Sounds good, can't wait to hear the clip. Setting off car alarms is fun especially when you don't like that person . Aaron
