I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Somewhere the spring of this year, I began the parts procurement process.Scouring the interwebs for ‘deals’ on the things I needed (read wanted) and actually needed.Parts started coming to my house and to my son’s as shipping to me isn’t always an option as couriers don’t come here and add 3-400 bucks sometimes to ‘free shipping’.We’ll play parts a bit:New manis and up pipes from our friends at PPE. And a box full of gasket kit, suspension stuff, turbo rebuild. And let’s not forget serpentine belt and pulley kit.
Not many shops would go to the efforts you do to clean parts, nor could you afford the costs involved. Great work young man.
Thanks for the writeup Sam! We all appreciate seeing the process, and we know you as a detail oriented guy.Inspiring...Inspirin' me to spend some more $$$$ on something I don't need to spend money on!
Looking great Sam. That far into it did you consider replacing the CP3?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
New to you injectors, as in new removed from stock motor?Nice idea on the pan. Why did they design the stock so bad. Would have loved to see the gook in yours.Nice fancy extractors. You running stock breathers or the fancy billet adapters?
Now for the oopsie!When I removed the oil pump gear on disassembly, well…It’s left hand thread…somewhere I missed that note.So with the big impact and many “Dugga-Duggas” I realized it was not loosening.Switched to tighten and voila off came the nut.So, as a result of this, the gear that’d doweled to the crank, well, it rotated and sheared off the dowel.So out with the good extractor set and drilled and pulled out the remaining piece.I don't buy a lot of Snap-on, but some things are worth their 'cost', this is one of them.You can see what’s left near the tip of the extractor.
