Anyone know what the hold up with the Kashima shocks is? Seems they have been on B/O forever???

Yeah, IDK...amain has shown them on B/O since November of last year. My LHS somehow had a couple sets of them a while back, and I probably should have bought both of them, but just thought that AE was backed up with the new car releases, and would have them back in stock shortly after, but alas...

I'm sure that everyone has their own car prep and maintenance routine, but just thought I'd post this prep/maintenance checklist that I found (published by Ray Munday), so everyone can keep their 6.1s going strong!
And please share, if anyone has any additional/different tips or strategies for car prep and maintenance.
Thanks!

Do most people threadlock their pinion? I don't ever remember doing this but then again it makes sense.
Will keep it handy, maybe print it out. I like lists anyways, I tend to space out and forget to do basic stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Luke if you noticed you got a bag of older parts like the older gear cover, a set of the offset ball cups that used to be for the front steering, and a shorter waterfall for the stand up trans I believe, and a couple other odds and ends not used in the build. Just follow instructions and the build is one of the best I have done.

Just a FYI. I just finished building my B6.1 and I had a strange bind in the trans. I work on it for a long time before I found the problem. The whiteish idler gear is out of round. I replaced it with a B6 , grey idler and the bind was gone. This may be why people are having problems stripping this gear with direct drive. The mesh is tight, then loose as the gear spins. And with the thinner topshaft of the direct drive is cutting the idler when the mesh is loose.

Besides using blue threadlocker on the pinion set screw, as a few have mentioned, what else does everyone use the blue threadlocker on when building their cars?
The conventional wisdom seems to say anytime you have metal to metal, as it can potentially vibrate loose. But I've heard some different theories on this, and it's one of those things that you can't really get a consensus on. I would be interested to hear what has worked well for some of you guys in the past?
Thanks!
