Hey guys, i successfully took my engine apart and cleaned and regasketed everything including the head gasket, im quite proud of myself, i put everything back together right and only had 2 bugs to work out. It runs so smooth now i bet i can get another year or two out of her, which means i can save more $ for my new one :) For anyone willing to take on this task u need patience and the right tools, but if u do it step by step it is fairly easy.. :)
Anyways, for some of u who know, some dumbass towing guy bent the sh!t out of my window regulator trying to get my keys out of the car. So i get my brother El' Chilton and it simply says drill out the 4 rivets using a 5mm or 3/16 inch bit, and remove glass from the clamps. Been there done that twice on 2 cavs at the junkyard, i figure why not get it from there instead of paying 80-100 for a new one. Anyways its being a real pain, the rivets are drilled out but the reg wont come out.. It feels like its still bolted down or something.. The rivet innards popped thru clean on all of them, but does the whole rivet piece have to come off the door or just the filler inside it? I tried jimmying with it every way and it wudnt really get anywhere.. Anyone have any tips on getting these oscars out? Some guy at a glass place is gonna install it for free, if i can just get it out the rest is his prob. :evillol:
Anywho do u guys got tips for taking her out, me and my friend cudnt get it out today and its buggin me cuz i got a block of wood holding the window up and tape around my new glass holding it on right now.. Thanks muchly. :iceslolan
