Let me preface this by saying...i'm not implying, nor placing blame anywhere but myself, but the story has to start somewhere...
I go to the mod day at Casper's on saturday. Take my injectors out to have them cleaned, which they didn't need. We reinstall them and I go about my merry way. Sunday morning on the way to take the family for a little putt putt, i smell gas something serious in my car. I check under the hood and sure enough, inj. 6 is leaking like a sieve. I run to autozone to by a new o-ring and hurry home to fix it. I get the injectors out nice and easy like saturday reinstall the o-ring and everything is going really good. So far time involved is 30 mins and dollars spent are 2.99, not including the mod day, since, its not related. As i have the car running to make sure the injector is no longer leaking, one of the 10mm nuts that retains the fuel rail falls down the injector shaft and into the motor. i quickly turn the car off and called john, and then hale, and then jared's old cell, pictor and alex. FOR THE RECORD - THE LONG MAGNET DIDN"T WORK... and oh how I wish it did. Hale suggests taking the upper intake off and seeing if it is reachable through there. After another 30 mins, it is not. Now, not only am I pissed b/c a $2.99/30 min job has taken 2 hrs, I still have not found the nut, had a beer, or watched NASCAR on tv. I mean, it is Sunday. Not to mention my hands are covered in god knows what, which makes it more difficult to smoke.
Now, as I sit here writing this, the heads are being removed from my car in an effort to retrieve a 2.00 nut from a 2.99 job which is probably going to cost me well over $500 by now. This is just f**king great, cause I don't even have my cam to install yet. What at bitch!!!!!!!!! Now, there'll be no cam til winter because I've blown all of my car money and I'm totally screwed. I need a beer.
