Today, I lost all faith in men.

So you're going back to women?

 

Baa it looks like it is supposed to be on an off raining all day. So I do not know if I will get a chance to start her today.

Also Gryff and I have been talking about using additional lights in the gauge cluster as warning lights. For example seat belt light, rear defroster, antilock brakes, and washer indicator are all unused on my car. Has any one successfully found the correct wires in the harness and used them as warning lights. Or any one have a reason why it would not work?

 

 

dat oil pressure

 

Sounds good. I can't wait to get my motor back and purring again.

 

Now I just need it to stop raining so that I can get the car on the road and break in the engine. The next 2 days it is supposed to rain, so hopefully Wednesday I get her on the road.

 

Motor starts and runs. The only leak I have found so far is at my turbo feed. I am going to wait for the manifold to cool off so I can tighten it. Then if rain holds off I should be breaking in the motor a bit later.



I got the car very briefly on the road. If felt great to be driving it again, but definitely needs a ton of tuning. I did a few pulls to 6k rpms and let then engine slow me down. They were all in second gear as I did not leave my neighborhood. Tomorrow I am planning on burping the coolant and fixing my tune a bit then going out and doing proper engine break in with 4th gear pulls.

 

it's been a week
is it back on jackstands?

 

Noooo, it's been "raining"

 

Did it ever come off the jackstands?

 

You need to take the car back to the machinist and let him finish the shim-job on that cam.

You also need to tape that fire sleeve.

Let me know if you need any parts, I owe you.

 

"It's raining"
"Manifold too hot"
"Need to wait 3 hours for car to cool down so I can burp coolant"
"Too many black people outside"

what am I missing?

 

I have not touched the car in a week except to check Cam/Crank wiring for Hustler. I simply have not had time, or decent weather when I have time. Every evening the rest of the week I have things planned. So I probably won't get back to working on it any till this weekend at the soonest.

 

sleep less. having things planned is not an excuse. 3am is a great time to work on car!!!

 

3am and hammered is when i work best.

 

Tonight I am going out to comedy after work with my cousin. Tomorrow I am hopefully going to be buying a welder. Friday I have a company function. So Saturday morning is probably the soonest I will have time. Weather is supposed to be perfect out all weekend so hopefully I will get lots of time this weekend to get everything working correctly.

 

comedy club? bro wants to get no *** hahahahhahahaha

 

Not all of us have to search it out.
