Wrenching?

[Ron Ward]

I installed a set of rear sway bar link kits on a Mercury Mistake early Saturday morning for my buddy who is painting my house. Right after that, I installed a new cap, rotor, plugs and wires on a 92 Cadillac Brougham. It was a humid, sticky mess. Thankfully, I had cold Diet Bud in the fridge for afterwards.

They don't want us there, I'm going to Joliet this weekend but I'll be working on a different car.
Yeah, Robin has some projects now, and there is a trailer that goes with it. It's a pretty nice set up.

Holy upgrade bat man!!!!

Robin must like the travel situation better in that thing!

You guys are or aren't doing Canada IHRA next week?

Putting a new pump on the air compressor tank today . I went from the small inline twin that Cambell Hausfeld sent it out the door to a big V twin from harbor frieght. Should give me another 20 psi and be able to keep up with air hungry tools better.

I wrenched since Friday on all the junk you see here, so I'm kicking back today.
Our new home away from home

Is that Norwalk?

My dad has all the woodworking stuff, so I drove up to his house to build a console for my Astro van. I'm working on a cam chain and general maintenance on my daily driver Nissan truck. My GMC was moved but only because I needed the jackstands to do a couple of lowering jobs.

Too freaking hot!!!

I think I'll try and stay out of the sun. I bought some supplies to build a "poor-boy" manometer. It'll give me the chance to do some air-flow comparisons without dropping large dollars on a bench. Should be an interesting diversion for awhile.

I washed my car. Does that count?

Ayup!!

Second time in a week I almost drove (uncontrolled rolled...) my Skylark through a fence and off a ledge =P My backyard as a bit more down hill to it than it looks like. But all is well as my scrap pile with a tire infront of it has gone on for the save twice now.

pictures of doggie door project.
Started with this broken down thing a year or so ago.
problem is the bloodhound breaks the sound barrier when she hits it - and is just tall enough to start tearing the rubber flap off - not good for energy savings.


if you've ever seen the movie Marmaduke, this is the door I installed yesterday


now to tough part - training my dogs to go through (okay, 2 trained, one - the firework dog - not yet).
given my history - y'all didn't think I was installing that first one when I said I was installing a doggie door?

I don't have much time in on the newer Toyota stuff but the old 18RCs and the like were tough as nails.

The guys have steered you right - have 'em check it whilst it's off. Buy a good gasket kit and go for it. Helicoils should be fine. We never pulled the manifolds when we did 'em but as I said, that was eons ago. Hell, Sonny, we had them things called carbenaders and....... (you know the deal from here)

I've never had to work on a camry (they must be good cars, eh?) but generally the head should check for being straight, usually not a problem if it hasn't overheated. In addition to the normal valve job stuff like guides, stem wear, etc.

I guess if you have aluminum heads you need to make it a habit to pull the plugs periodically....

I didn't get anything done at all today. Nice relaxing day at home with my wife.
