Ha nice. I get paid Thursday and will pay the last months rent. Then the following paycheck, idk... either springs/shocks or I'll save and get coils. IDK. I got to thinking about it and it seems like a better route to do coils. All I want is a big drop though... Hmm /threadjack

Unless you've got a 35r and some SLA's, there is no reason for 272 duration cams...

2 are married and the other is to young!

to night started out super smooth but did it finish smooth f*** no.

we built the tool for shimming my head which i would have pic up loaded of but i am forced to use dial up because Hughes net is down.

so shimming my head when super smoothi found where all the shims went. bled the lifters fine. got the cams installed correctly. and was torquing down the cam bolts the very last one torqued and broke off in the head. with that pop i was like f*** THIS!

my dad and i tired to EZ it out but the bolt is hardened steel and the head is aluminum so it kept wanting to jump off int othe head.

so tomorrow we will see if we can get it out withs osme how. might have to possible redrill the hole and tap it. then use a thing you bolt inside.

and to top it off i am using dial up to tell you all.

great day went bad fast.

inother news my wheels will be here monday doent mean i will be driving my car. then. probably wont be tell the middle of april. i

have decided to slow down.on the build. i have been pushing it too hard to get her done.although shimming the head was the last thing i had to do to the motor.

then that was going be done. well what ever Sh*t Happens!

so we got the broken bolt out. and i have a new one on the way.and i dropped a washer down the front of the engine so i had to pull the oil pan.but that wasa good thing there was so much nasty crap i nthe oil pan from the motor flooding and having the gasoiline eat away at the gasket. so we cleaned all of that out and got al lthe crap out.got the washer out too.i will up load pics here in a little bit.sold some more car parts today. so i will be able to afford my Q45 brakes pretty sooni hope PBM gets there sh*t in stock soon, so i can get my suspension shipped to me.

thursday that new bolt will be here so that is when i will put the cams back in and stuff and close the valve cover forever lol.

thinking about doing the whole car in winter camo for a while. then when my dad has time we will paint it black. but just an idea.

karmakazis kouki was sweet with the winter camo. but we will see.lol
