Subject: Re: Monday Chat 06.20.11 by JeffK on 2011/6/20 15:14:06 It's really Monday already?!?!? Fathers day... It was windy and gray for most of the day. Wife's car somehow got a screw in one of the front tires and was sitting in the driveway doing the dogward dog Sunday afternoon. I put a plug in it and now I'm pricing 2 tires for the front. 235-65/R17..goofy size. Kumho's are looking good at $120 ea. Burned the most recent .bin from Mick to a chip on Saturday. That was a first for me. Took a bit to get it all figured out. Put it in the Vette yesterday. Checked for vac leaks since Mick said that it's showing split BLM's at idle. I didn't find anything. Took it for a ride to log somemore. It seemed to run ok. I still hear something that doesn't sound right to me in the top end of the engine though. I am going to pull one of the VC's and see what's up. Builder swore that the valvetrain Geometry looked good but I'm not so sure. With the Hotcam and the 1.6 rollers I doubt that stock length p-rods are right. And I think that reusing the Percy's header gaskets didn't work for me. Anyway, I'm pretty sick of messing with the car and not driving it. Out of the 1.5 years that I've had it I've gotten maybe 6 months of driving out of it. Pretty disgusted with it. |
