looks like fun

 

Kyle as in Kyle West...I want to see that f00's ugly mug...

 

WOW was this a trip, but it was FUN AS HELL! it took us 2 hours to take the engine out But after we got it out we had some slight set-backs, Pizza, , and the usual Oil Pump mis-matching. We finally got it in and running at about 12:30a.m. So all together a block swap with 8 people took 14 hours. hmmmmmmm this seems a little long?

 

Yea I had lots of fun other than the 14 hours on my feet

 

Damn man, who is that sexy beast in the cover-alls?

Good work today fellas... everyone better watch out for Kyle's car now... straight wicked! The block is red too

-Nick-

 

just got back. Tired, will have more to say tomorrow.

 

looks good kyle.

 

Kyle how is it working? Did the heat start to work and everything or are we gonna have to go back in there and look at the Thermostat and all that?

 

My 2 cent, beer drinkin' *** would like to know too.
Lets count 'em,

 

LOL, are you counting from the time you got there, or from the 9 in the morning?

 

Yeah, Kyle said the heat actually started working as soon as he started turning his car around in the driveway.

-Nick-

 

Congrats on getting it in Kyle, I know of all the OH people I can call when I am ready to swap in the next few months.

 

So Farnsrocket holds true, that the car has to move before the heat starts to work. I wonder why? Does anyone know why it is that way? Had a GREAT time and can't wait to do my swap in 2 weeks LOL

 

yea I just woke up that wore me out standing for 14 hours

 

that was fun i cant wait to do it again. hopefully next time i wont have to go to work in the middle of the swap

 

Count me in. Swaps are easy

-Nick-

 

Now this is what I like to see. HT members helping eachother out!!

looks good!

 

No kiddin' .... Swapping most of everything into NEW Block took the longest ... specially the Pizza then Montain Dew and the Oil Pump downtime ...

............But we had FUN, tons of laughs .... and even "Eminem" showed up!
(ha ha ha, Nick !)

I'm going to upload some "Quicktime" videos in a few ..... I'll post URL later to downlad......

 

First of all, THANKS to everyone who helped out. I don't know everyone's HT name, so I'll just leave it at everyone.

Car made it home in one piece. The heat started working as soon as the car started rolling??? I am not sure why it took that long for it to, but that is what happened.

A few problems (or maybe I am just paranoid):

1. Valve cover is HOT as ****! I never really checked how hot it got before the swap though, so I am not sure if it is a big problem or not. I could touch it, but had to take my hand off right away.

2. Whole bunch of **** rattling and thumping around. I think either the alternator, AC or power steering is not bolted down tight enough. I am going to try to find out where all those extra bolts and nuts go today

3. Driver side rotor is rubbing on something. Easy fix just have to go look at it.

What happened to the track? I left cause it was raining and I didn't want all that **** sitting in my car all day and night. If you all ended up going, I am gonna be pissed.

Again, thanks to everyone who helped.

 

Easy solution:

Strip the AC and PS and there are half your problems

We didnt end up going to the track. I woke up around 10 and the ground was wet and on and off drizzle.

Nice meeting you Kyle

 

Jon and I decided the damn oil pump set us back about 2-3 hours because of the mental ramifications. FUGGIN OIL PUMP....


"It's in the leaves"

 

Nick and I didn't go, but he did find Norwalk has a T&T next Sunday.
And the weather forecast, though 7 days away, 0% chance of rain.
The added heat in the valve cover may have to do with the higher compression.
Or not. Good to know it still works.
Maybe time to put in a real temp. gauge.
And the heater completely baffles me.
Watch it, watch the gauge slowly,
watch it, there it goes, did you see that,
the heat cause by the thermal dynamics,
and the increased compression, watch it,
there it goes, its rising, watch it....

 

lol...

the reaction, do you see it...
look, I will set it again...
THERE! THERE! Did you see it?

 

LOL, Im def down for that T&T next Sunday, Kyle, Corey you guys need to go and see what you guys run.

All the people reading this are thinking you guys are so stupid so to all those people it is an inside joke from yesterday
