  • I think I recognize the symptoms but you are doing better than me!!

    That izuzu is bad about valves, keep them adjusted! maybe set the exhaust
    a hair loose.

    People with bad shoulders rest their hand on the shifter while driving and wear
    the forks off a MTX tranny. It takes the stress off something? but adds to wear
    on forks. I might be wrong but I kinda recognize the symptoms?!!

            • Well, I think I feel a droplet of sweat now.
              My thermometer on the deck says its 96-97* (in the shade)
              Of course I am sitting in my air conditioned house, sipping a nice cold one! :p

              I am about to go out and lift the engine into the engine bay, waiting for my son to get back from the auto parts store with a replacment for yet another missing bolt. I aint lookin for it, its easier to buy one

              I got a little careless towards the end. lol

              Of course there will be pics!

                      • I just like to keep you all guessing. Mwuuuuaaaahhhhahaa!!! :p

                        Thank you!

                        Not to worry, slow but steady. Still dont have all my exhaust
                        Guess I better quit putting it off, and order the rest of it.

                        To do list

                        1) Rebuild carb
                        2) hook up all that harness stuff
                        3) get/install exhaust cat/tailpipe/muffler
                        4) uhh...turn the key?

                        • Dan, I want to talk to you about your subframe bridges. My car also suffers from cancer, and at $600 to replace the frame with another OE unit, bridges look pretty damn appealing.

                            • Wow, its been 2 weeks since I have been able to work on my Festy swap. :eeeeeek:

                              I've had 2 other vehicles die on me and had to work on them to keep me in transport! Whew! Seems I have been working on cars all summer...wait....I HAVE BEEN! I am about to get burnt out on all this car construction, and am having to force myself to work on the Festy now.
                              But, I am out in this heat, doing some to it, and hopefully I can get back in the groove, and get it done. I really want to be able to do something this summer, besides work on cars! Its freakin' July, and I havent been camping, swimming, fishing, floating, or any of the good stuff to do during summer.

                              Well...I guess that is my rant, and i'm done :p

                              Hopefully there will be more pics, and of it running!!!!!!! lol

                              • While I was installing all new hoses, and on my back hooking up the wiring harness, I thought this would make a nice pic



                                Also, before installing the spark plugs, I thought about how, on the old B3, I had to use a breaker bar to get the #3 spark plug out, the last time I had changed the plugs on it. :eeeeeek:

                                I wasnt going to have to do that again with the B6.

                                So I got one of these, and chased the spark plug threads (any parts store)



                                After usage, the plugs could be run in with my finger tips, and felt clean and smooth.

                                I used anti-seize on the plugs as well.
