    Yeah, past couple days on startup been having lots of lifter clatter. Used to be just one lifter now I am hearing 2 or 3. I would run sea foam or mmo, but I'd rather not open plugged up leaks that I know I have. Like I know my rear main is leaking, but slowly enough that I don't have to worry about it.

    Today I did a press fit with a Honda Civic console. I do want to get the back piece that has the armrest rather than the flat one but as you can see for I can just slot switches holes and put my seatbelt receivers through or actually remove and replace. The only issue is on the driver side. the metal bracket needs to be bent nwards about an inch. Do not drill new holes in the Honda plastic you would just need some metal straps total Home Depot garbage will work here. IMO total nice fit no gap headed up towards the dash and the glove box area. What is going to hurt financially is trying to find the double din audio package for the civics people really want a lot of money for them. Once I have it I think it will really class up the interior and make it useful.

    Also rotated the tires.
    Low to no weight oil is also good for winter months so it gets back up in the engine quicker.

    It's like that one but one less little pipe. I have a pic but this app will not let me add it.

    Next time post on the For sale/wanted forum if you need a part.
    Are you looking for the bypass pipe assembly? #26?
    Available from Four Green.

    Also from what I can see, the heater to motor hose is only $6? So if you can wait for it to get shipped, or just use the part number and go to advanced, autozone, or O'Reilly, you may find it with the part number there.

    This is what I found. Don't know the exact part. First link is the heater core hoses, second link is where you can decide if its the heater core drain hose, or the heater core hoses or what have you. Wish I could help more.

    Holy cow man. We haven't suffered a power loss yet, but we have probably accumulated about 4 feet of snow to date. I was tempted today after I had shoveled all the snow from the drive into the back yard, to make a snowstiva snowman. Lol. I think I may do it.

    Turned it on. Then turned it off and cleaned up the coolant that went everywhere. I tightened the connections, topped it off. Almost finished! Few more littje things to do.

    Car is all fixed and back at home. The first time we put it back together it was off 2 teeth, but after setting everything to TDC it is all a-ok, even runs a bit smoother than before it threw the waterpump.

    It has barely stopped here since it began Sunday. There have been a few hours of breaks here and there. But it seems as soon as everyone gets shoveled and the roads are plowed, it dumps back out of the sky again
