Sometimes you pay the price and develop "medical issues" when going with the mob, but from the looks of it, I don't think you had a choice there. At some point it's just a matter of survival though right?

I hope you can get back to work on your car once you're out of detox. We're pulling for you Adam. We know you can beet this thing, but next time... just say NO.

should be back at it tonight, just waiting for a friend with a welder to lay a tack weld on one of my tensioners for good measure

i think someone at work is trying to tell me something....





cus there wasn't a fire extinguisher at my desk yesterday

WOW..... i would pay to watch this happen from beginning to end in person!

Love the radiator !!!

Keep up the goodness....

So long story short I didn't do ALL the reading i could have and it cost me in regards to my timing kit....

Problem A was the plastic guide... Solved it with a new aftermarket guide
"Potential" problem B was that some of the less desirable kits had issues with the pressed in oil caps on the tensioners popping off....

Therefore losing oil pressure on the tensioners, well u see where this is going :/
I couldn't find anyone that had used the kit I bought and complained about it. But I still lost some sleep over it to be honest
Ended up deciding to find someone to tack weld the oil caps in place. Driven agreed to help, thanx again



So now I'm as happy as I'm gunna get with what i have so it time to build this fucker finally!

Unfortunately I lost a cyl head alignment dowel......


So I got stopped till tomorrow -.-
