Hey all,
Sorry I haven't sat down long enough to give an update on
the blown head gasket. I've been working and then working on my car in my
spare time. I've learned a few things (such as there are locking nuts
inside the retaining nuts when adjusting valves :) ) and to check for stuff
under the car BEFORE you start it :) had a close call with a plastic jug
that melted on the headers.) I got everything bolted back on and set
the timing today. I was so excited to finally be done and then I noticed I
have an oil leak on the back side of the intake manifold... d'OH!
So... I'll be back out there tomorrow taking everything
apart again. It should go much faster this time though :) I've
been using my brother-in-law's air tools to do this. Man, I don't know
what I would have done without them. It made this job a LOT easier.
Rodney.
