Re: Boom-boom-chicca-boom...

Thanks fellas...

New balancer should be here today, new bezel should be done today... I'm getting so excited... if the damned oil pan and pickup would just get here I'd be all set.

Re: Boom-boom-chicca-boom...

What about the cam? Did you leave it in or take it out to see what kind was?

Re: Boom-boom-chicca-boom...

Left cam in, figure it's not worth the hassle of pulling it... although I now have to pull the passenger side head--- stripped #2 head bolt block threads GOD DAMMIT!


Thank GOD for heli-coil though. If the guy who invented that was standing in front of me, I'd kiss him full on the lips.


Got the oil pan, etc, so I should have it totally back together over the weekend. I'll post up pictures of everything when I get it done.


(STILL can't get the F***ING steering wheel off though...)

Speak for yourself. I certainly do not want to see video of Jim kissing the guy who invented helicoil.
