Anyone know of a good walkthrough for an m1 install? I'm wanting to get one of these, but I want to have a good idea of how to do it first.

I searched. Didn't come up with much. It would be helpful if I could search the word 'm1' but it's too short. haha
haha, I found a good walkthrough btw.

Well, keep in mind, I'm new at this. This'll be my biggest job yet, and will have the most potential to fuck shit up. lol.
I do have a question though. Why the oil change after the job is done?

It was very easy. I got a friend of mine who builds and races open wheel modified cars to help me out because I didnt feel comfortable opening it up by myself. I wouldnt hesitate doing it my self again. Very simple to do even had a few beers while finishing it up.
oil change is for any crap dropped in valley. It's pretty easy. I had to make new water nek for mine though. Don't know why. Anybody?
Ahh, makes sense. I've got an oil change coming up in about 1500 miles. Wonder if I can save up enough cash by then.
Well I've got my M1, gasket maker, spray gasket stuff, felpro gaskets, fuel injector o-rings, I'll be picking up a new bypass hose tomorrow. I've run into a bit of a problem though. I can't find torque wrenches in the proper range.

This installation picture says to tighten in increments of 12 in/lbs. I can't find anything that'll go that low that doesn't cost ridiculous money. I'm also having trouble finding a torque wrench that'll do 12ft/lbs. Anyone know where I can find some?

Why you stealing my pictures, haha. JK. Sears has inch lbs torque wrenches for about 80 bucks. You could try harbor freight also.
Its really not that bad of an install, took me about 3-4 hours with breaks. But we also had air-tools.
I stole your picture because you have the best writeup I've found. Take it as a compliment. Ugh, $80 is not what I was wanting to hear. haha. How is sears return policy? I might 'rent' one from them.
well that would be damn nice of you. Can I rent your foot pound while I'm at it? How much would shipping be to 47720? I'd return them as soon as I got it installed and running and assured everything was working properly.

20 bucks, not the best, but will work.

There is a Harbor Freight right in your area, would be just as expensive to ship mine back and forth then to just buy these two.

I drink. I just don't like beer, and I don't like getting drunk before working on something so expensive. lol
i got my inch pound from harbor for $15, works like it should, for $80 it better be digital. replacin the intake manifold is simple but of course ive done it enough times.
gaskets
180 stat
new bypass hose
maybe new temp sensor
Vaseline -injector o-rings-
2-3 gals of antifreeze
red or orange rtv
also make sure the first thing you do is take compressed air and blow out all the dirt between the intake n valve covers. if not the crap will fall into the lifter valley and its not good.

Nobody said it must be beer. you can stand around out there with a bottle of jack in a paper bag if you want, just be completely fucked up before you even pop the hood. It will make you less nervous about the job.
alright, well I'll check out harbor and freight tomorrow. I also need to get a new t-stat gasket. Thanks for the reminder. I think I've got about everything else.
