Talking **** with @afm got me thinking that I wanted a coolant pressure sensor. Just another idiot light in case something goes wrong. So I got out the JB weld and made something happen

Machine shop says they should be done next Wednesday. I'll probably take Thursday/Friday off work. And try and have it running by the end of the weekend.

Curious - why drill a dedicated O2 sensor wiring hole when you have a huge gaping hole above it with plenty or room?
Was it a spur of the moment thing?
Were you caught up in a "drilling frenzy" once you had a power tool in your hands?
Did you just want to protect the wires with a rubber grommet?
Also, does it allow the centre console to fit back in place? (or don't you use it so don't care?)

I actually meticulously planned that hole. I used to run it through the other hole. And bolting the rubber boot back down would put a nice kink in the wire. It actually even broke a wire on my first o2 sensor. I then wrapped it in a bunch more electrical tape and it kind of worked.
I like this way a lot more. And yes, the center console fits.

Considered that. Didn't like it.
I actually bought a step drill specifically large enough for that hole so I did think about it. This was cleaner imo.

Went over to @oregonmon's place so he could work some magic on my new hood. Single stage paint can shine. Too bad the rest of the paint looks like ***. Maybe i'll try and make it over when the car is running.
Did some injector rehab
Question time. Can anybody learn me some valve clearances. I know how to check them, but what should I be shooting for? Middle of the factory spec, tight? Loose?

Oops, forgot, you're starting from scratch... I stuck with SOB instead so needed to measure current shims.
EDIT: Never having done the swap over, I'd think you'd need to measure your current setup, by valve and compare the stock measurements against the Supertech setup (I don't have the stock length for the buckets) and order the applicable Supertech lash caps for each valve (assuming you aren't going to touch up the stem ends). So, my original mention of having a good set of gauges or micrometer is the same.

I'm starting from complete scratch. So valves+subs. Nothing else. I'll measure clearance without any shim, and see what I need. Then order 16 shims.
I really need the motor back. I'm starting to make up projects. Found a place for a trans temp sensor on the second try. This is my spare trans, so it got plugged for now.
