Its been sitting for a while now since the last time I had the engine done and the new oil pump went out. No shavings or trash, bitch just went out. A year ago I put a stock motor in it with intentions of driving it... didn't happen, and since I swapped motors in the wee hours one night at the body shop I was workin at I forgot about the head gasket and said to hell with it like a dumbass.
This weekend was the first time I touched it again putting in new studs, headgasket, and all the goodies. While sewing her up I realized I dicked the damn 6mm hex bolts for the tensioner. Now I'm going to have to wait till next weekend to get a new mechanical tensioner if I can find one around here.
I'll get serious with her again. I have all the stock bumpers on the way, a nice little holset thats been sitting for a while, plus a complete IRS out of a cobra that I've been pondering on. I'm not going to say too much more than cough cough jegster cough, but I'm low on funds for those ideas right now and don't want to start a nay-sayer war on here.
Anyway, hows the west coast and whats chris up to these days?
