Shawn, Good for you!
New GLO shop and you get to buy all new furniture for the new house.....BOOM!
Well, I don’t know about all new furniture but we definitely do not have enough currently. New place will be almost 5k sq ft and we’re under 2500k now..... Home 3 car garage will be just that a garage to store vehicles. One of the storage rooms in basement will be a small home workshop with minimal tools, table saw and radial arm saw storage. Throw in a decent work bench and I’m golden there. Shop will house everything else, keeping me focused on separate things at each place. Degrees of separation maybe? I did measure it this morning, new house is less than 4 miles from my shop.

GLO officially has a new home, locked that contract in this morning.
Also finalized having a new home built this morning, so will be moving in to that in seven months roughly.

This is nothing more than evil wanting the continued ability to keep sacrificing their unborn children at Lucifer’s feet. I am thoroughly amazed at what lengths evil will go to continue these blood sacrifices upon the innocents.

Also something to consider the Ford oem knuckles I think are the weakest of the bunch. May not be a bad idea to upgrade those to run other components you have already

Ask Tate or even Norm but I think you can trim those stubs down and run them on the Dodge setup
Edit: think I had that backwards in my head. You have the shorter dodge stubs already so no cutting down to work

Track bar, yes I would. Lift springs etc. good idea.....
I have any lower shock brackets you might need all formed from 1/4”, straight, 45 degree or 90 degree to axle shafts. Torch stock ones off an upgrade while moving them higher so they are not dragging on things off road.

It was 10 shots at 5 yards, 7 yards and 10 yards ..... still could have tossed the pistol through the hole when it was empty though!
You might poke fun, but lots of states have no target requirements for their PD, cali comes to mind and the Dorner Manhunt......and they don’t require you to hit the paper - anywhere!

Dave, thanks for that link. I think I'll get those shackle flip kit and get rid of the crappy blocks.
Next thing, after replacing the hydroboost that has been sitting on my bench for 5 months... is to put a grizzly locker in the rear. The G80 is toast.
Buy stock in some tire companies first.....

Those are the STT, I got the MTP made for DT by Cooper. They have a little friendlier center treat for maybe longer wear and a touch quieter.
Those are the 37s I'm getting with my worn 35s behind em. Nice thing with DT I can get either tire!
We need to talk some more to see what I can get from you on this.
I understand, hit me up this week and I can text you some pics etc until new site is ready.

That's cool Sean, maybe a split property where you have the house out front and shop/business in the rear on a BIG lot?
Negative, last place was like that. House and 3.5 acre pond up front, 4K sq ft shop in rear all on 17 acres. Not into what Don and Charles have going on with all that upkeep. Been there, done that & have the t-shirt. This will be a separate shop, possibly in a gated building community (I’m not doing retail) and then just a different house in an HOA most likely but a little further out from hippyville this time. Girls will all be in high school bnext year & 2 of 3 with license so they can car pool.

So we’re looking at shop and different housing options (most likely two different properties). We purchased this house after being in hippyland for 3 months & was more of a get the kids in school system we want and easy house to flip deal. So we’re looking at flipping potentially. My wife asks Baylee, what do you want in the next home. Baylee’s response, I need somewhere dedicated to building my Jeep! Priceless Of course HH6 tells me I’ve finally got to the place where you want a separate shop from home and now I have our daughter starting in on me with demands of shop space....

So Ken offered his assistance. Apparently the drivers side has a pvc valve on that 1" line coming out of the valve cover. Without those baffles the motor is sucking oil straight out of the motor and dropping it into the intake. So I will be hooking that catch can up to that line. I am also going to mod this can to have an external sight gauge to know how much oil I have in the can so no guessing.

Dave it might be worth trying a hot mixed top coat of clear in a test area and see if it helps cure the stuff underneath and hardens

Yeah that’s pretty much a no go. The next layer would cure on top and not penetrate. Plus it’s long past it’s recoat time frame of 16 hours. Surface needs sanded which can’t happen with wet paint, Guy is pretty hosed now

Weren't you doing industrial coatings at one time professionally, as in you're the resident expert??? And he did NOT take your advice?? What, you date his daughter in the past or something? That'd be like me asking Chief how to break AG equipment and then doing what Shawn told me instead. Looks like he's got himself a lot of scraping work ahead of him.

Ok, pictures.... So I don’t think there is a pvc valve going to the air box. In the upper right hand of this pic is a roughly 1 inch diameter tube that comes from drivers side valve cover then drops into upper intake manifold. Bottom pic shows some oil buildup at the joint where the stock tube had broke & I fixed it with a pipe nipple & couple of clamps when I swapped motor out.

« on: September 20, 2018, 10:22:02 AM »
I don't remember the baffles being removed.
I think you answered your own question.
The breather tube isn't as important as the pcv tube, if it has one. Might be better to rig the suction tube side first... possibly to the catch can.
Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
Yeah, no aftermarket valve covers for this pig. So the stock baffles were busted out by me, the engine builder was supposed to supply valve covers another thing he didn’t do. It has what looks like a pvc tube which goes to top end or engine side of filter box ( haven’t looked close enough to see if pvc valve is there though?). What are you talking about breather tube? Do you mean breather filter on new catch can? As far as suction tube side are you referencing making that line (pvc ish one) go vertical more then over to catch can? I think I will do that btw.

Sounds like that motor was built loose or they lined up all the rings (yep, seen that).
As to smog compliant, that normally means a "closed system" meaning the oil vent would be a no go, but should be OK with the cap when needed.
The stock 3.8’s built in Mexico were documented to have had the rings lined up. As far as being loose it is possible with this builder I believe. Anyhow for $50 I’m going to install this and see what happens. It’s worth noting I have plenty of oil in the vent line that this may very well be what is happening though. This motor uses roller rockers and to get those to fit we had to remove the stock oil splash baffles from up inside the stock valve covers so I don’t think it’s a stretch under high rpms to see that oil extend into the catch can. Maybe I should extend the vertical column up some where it exits the valve cover? I think I’ll do this too when I add the catch can.

Don, my welder had one of these (a large one like yours) and he started with two separate runs. Granted he was heating a 40 x 60 insulated shop too however in the end as you don’t want your garage, shop or work space overly warm what he did was ran it to the house heat exchanger first then in return to wood burner he ran the water through the exchanger to the shop. It kept the shop comfortable. This way worked best for his situation, something to consider maybe.

Now that I'm concerned w/ all things oil related, please explain what that is and what it does?
So I do not have any current oil leaks. My motor for all purposes should not be worn out and using oil such as bad valve seals and or rings etc. big assumption there with knowing who builder was. However, it runs good. If I run low rpms 2500 or less and I’ve done those for a couple tanks of fuel I get no change on dip stick reading. If I run high rpms 3k or higher I see it change pretty quick so the oil is going somewhere under high rpms. I pulled the air box top today, I have oil buildup in the line for the valve cover vent. So my premise is that I’m building pressure in the crankcase under high rpms and it’s blowing out valve cover vent and digesting it into the intake then thru the motor. The oil catch can is a vented can with a valve on the bottom. So valve cover vent line goes into this, oil separates & is caught in can. Then another line presumably clean air goes to the air box. What I purchased today https://www.ebay.com/itm/300ml-BAFFLED-OIL-CATCH-CAN-RESERVOIR-TANK-W-BREATHER-FILTER-Hose-/282628974566Note: this model can be used with out the vent by capping it with provided plug, assuming I need to remove that vent to be emissions compliant? Maybe someone with more emissions experience JR etc can chime in?

« on: September 19, 2018, 04:42:22 PM »
So I’ve had some oil missing with this motor. I’ve diagnosed it to high crankcase pressure (no I’m not referencing H again, sorry to get your hopes up Ken). I had noticed when I run high rpms with this motor the oil vanished from the dip stick. Since I swapped that rear axle to 5:43 gears and have yet to do front axle and larger tires I’m noticing this oil situation more. So today I ordered an oil catch can off of eBay, should be here next week and I’ll install that and keep you all updated.

Sorry, late to the party. Is the motor actually damaged or just the pickup plugged? Or you don’t know yet?
I think JR hit it on the head in his earlier post and the pickup is clogged from debris. we'll know hopefully this weekend, but it went from no pressure, and pretty healthy lifter clack, to some oil pressure and barely noticeable tick after 2 days of sitting at the shop. I'm leaning metal is not from my motor and probably still salvageable. we'll drop the pan and mechanically clean the pickup and inspect the o ring as well as run some seafoam and new, known clean oil through it and see what happens.
Tate, my guess is the motor is ok. Clean it good & have a good mechanic look it over like Charles stated (third party not you, no offense) you made need him in court....

Sorry, late to the party. Is the motor actually damaged or just the pickup plugged? Or you don’t know yet? Reason I ask is because you can run a motor a bit with no oil, not recommended but you had oil the pressures were just jumping everywhere right?
& Tate, I’ve had a rough week but was just thinking about you (house contractor and now this) and you’re still getting attacked worse than me right now so more prayers coming your way brother!

do you have a backhoe on one of those green machines? how are you digging the lines to the house?
Not going to bury them I think
Boiler only has to be five feet from the house, so what 7-8 feet of insulated line? I should be fine
I have read quite a bit on this already, and many others left the lines exposed for a year or more and the unit worked just fine. Heat loss is almost non existent.
7 to 8 foot and you aren’t going to bury the lines? Really?  Rent a trencher for two hours from HD if your knee is too jacked up to trench that far or the boys are too busy with football....
