Too late.If Steve passes-I’ll still call dibs on the pan......
I knew where it was going as soon as mike mentioned it.lolToo late.
All through the year it has been my goal to get this thing running, and to have it running by the time October came around so as to be able to make the Cruisin the Coast show.
It’s still on as of this minute, but I can’t help thinkin that we’re all kidding ourselves ( those that are still hoping something will have changed by then). Nothing screams “ Aint gonna happen” like a potential gathering that typically attracts 5000 registered participants, and twice that many spectators.
If they hold it, I’m going. That freakin car has been on jack stands for 8 months now..I need to be able to drive the damn thing.
I gotta admit,...Despite all of the headaches,... I have Zero remorse. Zero remorse for choosing The 2jz,...No remorse for finally choking down the 4l80e..MOF,..I cant wait to start. Now I know this may seem like double talk....( I know I’ve kinda said that i’m going blow up/ shoot/ push it off a cliff,...) But you know what changes my mind every freakin time?....
This talks to me:
:
And...When I started it without a trans, and the thing was a sewing machine.....That just happens to be able to easily make 600 hp, With No “annoying vibration” to keep me up at night...Just a future vision of: “This is what it’ll be like when you quit trying to make things in your garage,......you cheap fck“.
Oh yeah....P.S.. zoom in on the pic, and look at the splattered oil all over the driver side fender that the exhaust cam gear is flinging all over the place.
When you remove the bolt . There is a press in ball ( well supposed to be ) similar to the ones in the galleys on the block . My friends was completely missing . So any oil the cam saw ( has holes in the casting ) made its way out of the front of the cam bolt threads and did exactly what you’re showing .
I plan to..I’m hoping that that’s all it is. Right now the plan is to leave the engine in place and try this from under the car. and sealing that bolt is a matter of removing it, gooping the threads and screwing it back in.@CarMichael Angelo is there some reason you don't want to check this out? Since it's already open, seems like the right time to check it and avoid the take it out again blues.
EDIT: The engine is still in, just the trans is out, right? In that case, I can see hoping it's just the seal.
I seem to recall someone else saying it but it doesn't look straight. That seems off more than parallax of the camera would suggest.
I do love that gold (orange?) crinkle on it - it peaks out just enough from the black parts to make things interesting.
The transmission has shipped as well....Everything I need to do this is in motion now. If i wasn’t going to Amelia Island this weekend with Kate, I’d be sweating my ass off, and screaming at bolts in the garage instead..I think I’ll take this opportunity to “gather my thoughts and center“.
That line was partially snipped from a song by one of the better looking members of the Black Eyed Peas.Mani-pedi or just a pedi and Chinese massage?
If it does get stuck in your head, use this to un-stick it:

That will not be a problem for me on that freakin waste of bandwidth.. Who would even spend more than the 10 seconds it takes to start having seizures from watching it?I've gotta stop looking at this site.
I've been trying to avoid that f'ing song since 1997.

The song’s pure pop goo, but the scenery is worth it, and it sticks in your head...So I give it .

Uhhh NOOBZ?
Why am I not surprised?
Dude, the bus driver looks pretty mad...How could you suspect me of such a thing?
Just because it says that I posted it?
