Hey guys,
Anyways, I've been running the engine i rebuilt for almost a thousand miles, runs great.
So, I notice some extra accessory noise tonight, and pull the hood up.
It turns out that, although i put an entire engine back together without fault, I can't seem to tighten the bolt on IDLER PULLEY!
The sucker must have come off, and the bolt with it. The belt still had tension, just the backing of the belt was wearing off, sending rubber shards everywhere.
Anyways, I thought it ironic how such a large thing goes perfectly, yet such a petty thing goes kaput! I'm in the market for a pulley and bolt now.
I was going to take a 5 hour trip with it tomorrow, good thing I noticed before I lost a belt on the way.
Sidenote! My custom chip comes next week! Dead Star will be done, and it will idle without stalling. sweet.
Later,
Lance
