I finally got the engine stand i needed to be able to get some work done on the spare motor. so far i now have:
oil pans removed
bearing caps removed (pain in the a** too)
pistons out
block completely stripped
and now it's at the shop waiting to get honed and cleaned.
i also determined that the 165k mile bearings should be replaced, and found a set of ACL race series bearings for the motor. the cost for a full set runs around $90. a set of OEM main bearings runs around $75. do the math, better bearings for just slightly more? or OEM expensive bearings? |

This site haz it now!! (just noticed that as of this write there are 4 guests on, instead of the 1 that was me)
in other news, last tuesday. my oil filter decided that it was done being my filter, and decided to pop off while i was getting on the freeway.
so here i am in 2nd gear at 5.5k rpm, and i look over and my oil pressure drops like a rock to zero! the only thing i can think at that point was "well f***. that's not good." i got the engine shutoff quick enough, and everything is fine now. i thought i had some minor rod knock, but it turned out to be a noisy injector (they were all on there way out measured at 10 ohms, instead of 12 like they should be). so now i got 333cc injectors. all is well with the car! |

so if you didn't click the 'read more' button on the last post, then you didn't see that it was all a joke, and this site isn't going anywhere. (sorry all you vultures that want this site for things that have to do with the weather phenomenon along the same name).
Also i had something really cool happen to me today, but i can't say anything about it right now, but i'll post a new news post about it when it can be done, until then i leave you on a cliff with nothin' else.
PEACE!! |

Well as fun as this site and my car have been, it's just run outta life. it's been fun, but time to move on.
i'll be getting rid of my car for somthing more economic, and better on the mpgs. maybe a smart car or a prius, i heard honda's are also great on mpg, plus i can get a body kit if i wanted, and maybe even a spoiler or 3.
good bye y'all, and have fun
