Started right up this morning. Running GREAT! Runs through the rev band with elan. Loving it.
Now to start getting parts together for a front end rebuild. I don't know how it happened, but somehow the bolts through the end links of the front sway bar have stretched. Don't know what else to call it. Nuts under the lower control arm are snug against the arm. But the bolt heads are protruding about one inch out the top of the arm. Odd! They turn freely, but I cannot get the nuts off. Appears like I am going to have to cut the bolt heads off, remove the entire bar, and see what needs to be done to get the rest of the bolts out. Tried hammering the bolt heads down, won't budge.
