The push to start.

Uhh that’s why I put a plug, guy. Not looking to swap the entire column and rewrite it.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

And that's why I asked. I wanted to know how long before you DO wire it.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Probably never. Happy enough to ditch the shifter from there.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I guess low res it is

 

[DEEZUZ]

Need to see it with bikes on the rack

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

That’ll have to wait till Saturday.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

looks good.
silver tap on wheel weights ? C'mon !

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Steel is real

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Considering it has 1 million idle hours

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Damn, you got that apart fast from your pic in the bored thread.

Deezuz wants that oil analysis

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Wrestled the trans cooler lines and radiator for a while but otherwise it’s been smooth. Thought I could snake the condenser out between the cooler and the radiator and then pull the two together but so basically ended up with every line removed from the cooler. Passenger head is next.


Also just realized I have no assembly lube and completely forgot I didn’t order a trunnion kit.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Have you seen other dod engines? Those front 4 cylinders are usually caked in shit


Also aluminum heads are amazing. I’m used to wrestling cast iron heads off engines in cars

 

[DEEZUZ]

Was referring to lane being impressed with the time it took

You could just go away too.....

 

[boostedguy05]

meh, he is use to ford shit, that just falls apart with 1 bolt taken out and smacked with a hammer to loosen up the rust and mill crap.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I mean 4 hours to tear it down seems alright to me. Guess I should go quicker so I take less than the book hours I’m charging the customer and REALLY bank.....oh wait

 

[1quick]

you have 1quick's tear down time stamp of approval

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I blame this guy for taking so long

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Tomorrow I’m hoping I can get it back to a long block at least. Ordered a bronze bushing trunnion kit that will have to go on next week I guess. Oh well. Friday will be headers and diff swap

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Oh I assume you soak ls lifters just like any other pushrod engine? They’re already soaking.......
