As it turned out, all three of us worked the early shift yesterday--a rarity for a Monday--so we decided to gather at my place late that afternoon. We began with Ryan thoroughly cleaning the exterior of the cylinder heads. Next, we bolted them on and taught him the head bolt tightening...

One day last week, Ryan brought the pistons/rods to work and Mike showed him how to run the parts washer. After a cycle, everything came out looking like new. Why didn't we think of that sooner? Now we were all eager to get them installed. We got together again on Saturday night to make a...

You don’t want me there—I will only slow you guys down. A lot. On an unrelated note, what/where is Wasatch Crest?

On a non-pressure referenced system such as this, the fuel pressure needs to remain static at all times. If you’re seeing a drop to 30 psi, you definitely have an issue. Clogged filter? Dying pump? Faulty regulator? I’d say one of these is your culprit. FYI: on a pressure-referenced fuel...

We did get together yesterday to make some more progress. We had planned to install the piston/rod combos, but after spending some time manually cleaning out the ring lands Mike and Ryan decided to bring them to work and put them in our parts washer first. So we set those aside and swapped all...

For a while now, I've been thinking about a re-fi to drop my rate and term (currently at 3.875% on a 30-yr). Because of this thread, I have on occasion checked Box's web site and they do seem to have good rates. Today I just checked it again, and their best listed rate for 20yr term is 2.883%...

Massimo. It's Massimo. Got it?

I have this older Black & Decker branded smart charger: I bought it at Wally World many years ago, and I recall it being pretty cheap. However, it has been a great little charger. It will alert you if you connect the cables backwards, for example, and it will also only charge a battery to...

In the Flowmaster chart above, the '50 Series Big Block' muffler is specifically designed for our Suburbans. It is a direct fit replacement for the stock muffler, while also flowing quite a bit better... and it was designed to not produce excessive drone inside the cabin (which would not be as...

Earlier this month, my remaining index fund value crossed my desired value threshold and I sold out of it as planned. That let me fill out my portions of three different holdings, plus I bought a full portion of a new company. The remaining funds were added to two other existing holdings...

(A few of you have already seen this report in my FB feed.) Last Tuesday, I had the second-worst bike crash of my entire life. I'm pretty sure this one isn't at the top of the list since I apparently did not suffer a concussion and did not require an emergency room visit--which is just as well...

On Thursday of last week, Ryan finally got the block and crank back from the machine shop. Reminder: the only things we had them do were clean/tank the block and install new cam bearings, and polish the crankshaft. But that looked like enough. Saturday night after work, we all met at my place...

With all of here 'anagrams' and re-arranging letters, I feel she was reading way too much into it. But what do I know? Heck, I'd like to learn the (approximate) location where the chest sat just as much as anyone else.

Oh: John, your order is in D1 status. This means your Jeep has been sequenced for production. :)

I think what John is getting at is this: Mopar does make lift kits for the JL. If you have one installed by a dealer, it will be covered under Jeep's warranty. They offer different kits, each with unique springs tuned to the different weights of specific engine/transmission combos. As of...

No doubt!

Yesterday afternoon at work, a co-worker told me about a car she recently saw at the grudge races. "It reminded me of your car," she said. It was another Grand Prix? "No, it was a brown turd car of some kind--maybe a Buick, I don't know--but it was stupid fast and beating cars left and...

Thank you. Seriously, thank you.

Gee, I hope that wasn't any run I had organized.... :ugh:
