    • put my exhaust back on. Now she is louder and sounds like a horse galloping. I think its almost time to just part her out. Yeah she saves me gas cause i aint driving her, but what I dont spend in gas I spend double to triple in dam parts.
      Man should eat when he can for Man does not know when his last meal will be.

                Yes I did, I called FestBoy and Pu241 to ask about a possible issue in the baffle of a valve cover causing an extreme crankcase pressure condition.

                • Had a fuse popping yesterday. It had happened before on cream puff before it was mine. The fuse that runs the horn runs the brake lights as well. I put a new fuse in pushed the brake pedal and pop. Unplugged the drivers side taillight harness, no probs there. Then as I eyeballed the pass side taillight assembly I remembered that I had to replace the third brake light assembly when I got the car. A screw inside that held the ground was loose. Tightened her down and was back in business.

                    • I dismantled a cylinder head and got it prepared to do a valve job and replace the valve seals that were as hard as hell. Cam looks good and the lobes are all within tolerance so no new cam, yea. The head is line bored and decked, so when my seals come all i have to do is lap the valves in and re-assemble the head.

                        • I thought about buying parts until I dumped 100 bucks into my truck so I can get to work and back. Now I have to wait until later.

                                I second this motion.

                                And do you HAVE to deck this and that? Is there just no way you can just remove head/ reseal/ put head back on?
