no 3800 swap...but he wants me to look into installing the 3800 low oil level switch with a bright red light on the dash in the avalon...maybe even have it kill the car lol
He did everything he did half assed. It may have worked, but it is/was a PITA to deal with if something went wrong or you wanted to demod.
FWIW, he did learn alot of shit at Intense..........
i'm sure that he has ADD and/or zit on humanity's ass syndrome
cars are well engineered machines...you dont treat them like a macaroni pictureframe i highly doubt tim king has a poor work ethic (after seeing the work in the firebird)...i'm sure that speaks mostly to millers lack of character
I still talk to him now and then. ....... I spent a signifigant amout of time fixing post-Miller projects, and you basically have to redo everything he touched.
QFT
crap like swapping out a 35k 03 gt starter for an OE ~98/99 startr on erics turbo 03 Gt (i only time i met eric i had to deliver the bad news (morad 04 L32 wasnt an L32...about the starter, etc etc) miller had put an "excess" of RTV while reusing the T cover gasket/oil filter adaptor (that gasket wasmissing a whole section...i took it off in car and i couldnt find the missing piece....missing radiator mount bushings...
sorry youll have to buy the book!
btw i have to reassemble the silver car...its in bob's driveway...no RF axle just most of an engine and trans, wiring harness and an interior/trunk full of parts.
wes and rob's GP's arent shit compared to this puzzle...
oh and its gotta be all OE bolts....i hate puzzles why do i do this to myself?!?
:bash:
i gotta mic the bore but other than a tiny ridge it doesnt look too bad you can see that the valvesprings with coking on them were running the hottest from lack of oil and i could see the oil run down the valve into the intake port...
i did get a close look at the VVTi mechanism...interesting shit but i'd wrather have an dry camshaft belt drive (vernier) remote electric WP and a solid roller cam lol
the chrysler combustion chamber cleaner worked wonders...all the carbon is just wiping off the aluminum...everything is looking practically brand new!
i'm reworking the riv's and 442's blocks while i'm rebuilding the toyota at work lol i hate carrying tools back and forth
