motor better be out tonight....

it's kinda funny everynight rob and I start rippin more and more apart...and we get like atleast 5-10 people/"spectators" to watch...usually a case of beer is layin around too

[SS4Matt]

well done for the night...me 'n' rob got the pan off enough to fish out the remaining lifters. got the motor back down on the mounts, and that was about it...just drank some beer and ate some arby's and kicked the tires for the rest of the night....im so dirty and tired....

i'm making a parts run tomarrow to my guys place for the other head gasket and head bolts...and some new lifters....thunder racing is going to refund me new lifters, i just have to send 'em my old cam....so THANKS A TON SEAN @ CARS FOR HOOKING THAT UP!!!!!

but since i don't want to wait for thunder to do all that stuff...i'm gonna pick up some LS7 lifters tomarrow from my guy. GM mismarked the price and were selling the lifters for $91 a set ALL 16!!! so he bought like 8 sets

basically end of today. im going to shower and bed....

[Keego Ridah]

yea that was sweet when you told me the price of those lifters, i most likely stop by tommarow again and actually get my hands dirty, we can do some nascar shit with that car 3 people workin on it, yea we Bs'ed alot lol i got some money on a BL30P tommarow, i know you know what that means

[SS4Matt]

haha yeah...i still have a lot of BL's in the mini-fridge...i got a case of good bottled beer for myself, and a BL30P to bum to other people

i'm gonna see what i can do for parts tomarrow, and then clean the rest of the pistons and block, and clean all the head bolt holes....wahoo tampon method here we come (for those who have taken heads off know all about the tampon method )

[Keego Ridah]

Yea the Tampon method is the way to do it! lol hmm just cleaning tommarow sounds like alot of time to bs and drink some beers

[Keego Ridah]

Yea tonight was not to productive lol but it was fun! I'll stop by tommarow and get some real work done

[SS4Matt]

yeah i was actually planning on goin to sleep tonight, till i got home and a mobb of people showed up lol....oh well....i didn't wanna work on it tonight, i needed a night off.

tomarrow i'd like to get the new cam in...and maybe take care of some of that wiring

score on the new LS7 lifters though $106 for lifters that retail $600!!! damn i love knowing people who know some people that know some people

[Keego Ridah]

oh it will happen, i have to work but i don't think i will have to work to late, we'll get that sucker back on the road

[Superman09]

so whats the deal... just plan on putting it back together or building it up some or what?

[SS4Matt]

myself and mr. magnet pen fished out the lifters after i dropped the pan as far as it would go (about 4 inchs with the motorpulled as HIGH as it will get in the bay)

i seriously need to sleep when i get home though. i haven't slept more then 5 hours a night all week...i'm sleeping when i get home! then cleaning the house some...kindof like cans and stuff everywhere

[DETROITMUSCLE]

[RobM]

We're workin on it lack of sleep has caused a few set backs (errors). If we got a few cases of red bull and worked till sunrise, it could be done for sat morning haha....

[SS4Matt]

Haha....yeah Sean i want to get it to ya asap to see what you can do with the tune and numbers!!! and rob...whenever i wake up i'm gonna get some knuckles bleed'n and some bolts turned....i'll call ya when i wake up...i'm dead right now

[SS4Matt]

well i just finished what i wanted to get done for the night. cleaned all the head bolt holes with a thread chaser, got the oil pump and timing chain back on and the pan bolted back up again....then i slid that fine "little" cam in i spent most of the night cleaning all the bolt holes. oh and the alternator is back on, and i plugged in most of the PCM stuff again.... finally got some pictures....few of me inside the car
