Awesome he cross threaded the power valve.
This is Temporary enough I'm just going to ramit home
I'll just be using it to trigger for my Crane fireball Box...
I was looking at the guts to see if I could just swap the internals into the later dizzy.
I was actually looking at 1 of the Arduino timing controllers That I could just use with the TFI distributor...bah.
At this point I may Make this thing run with a 3800 pcm

Figured out my squeaky squeaky on my driver's side rear suspension of the G8. I really thought I had another bum strut/shock from rock auto. This issue was really prevalent when I have the 20" wheels.
There are two bolts. One that mount the strut to the LCA, and one that mounts the hub to the LCA. Both bolts look identical. Both are 18mm heads.... however one is roughly 3.75" (this is meant for the hub to LCA) and the other is 4" (for the strut to LCA). So it's quite easy to mix them up.
So, if you inadvertently put the 4" on through the hub, it just scrapes against the trailing arm. That was the noise I was getting.
So I swapped them around and now have silence...
Here it is before. The 4" through the hub, hitting the trailing arm.
Fixed
Also, technically the strut bolt should be going the other way from all the pics I saw online, so I did the same.

I verbally accepted a new job today!! My current job has been a massive cause of stress and headaches basically since day one. It occasionally shows glimpses of getting better, then goes diving back down almost immediately. So after waiting on some things to happen at the new place, I finally got and accepted an offer today!
Now I need to plan my dramatic exit

Shit in someone's desk drawer. Or an empty desk drawer.
Just had a 1:1 with my manager at work and went over the roadmap to be promoted to supervisor by EoY! Nice title upgrade and expecting a good pay bump as well.
Starting next quarter I'll get my own direct report and there are a few projects I'll work with my manager on throughout the year to help meet some requirements and get me ready, but it's already been approved by higher ups and everyone in the company is on board.
Coming from sales positions and some not-so-great companies, it's still very surreal to be appreciated and regularly get promotions / bonuses and stuff like that.

Installed my CAI last night when I got home from work. Took about 30-35 minutes. Now I need to spend some time and clean the engine bay, interior and outside.
Forgot I had 5 days (40 hours) of PTO carried over from last year. New manager unofficially suggested that I burn them up during the summer. So pending the weather my next 10 Fridays will be 1/2 days off. Or I can use the full day and adjust the balance Totally at my discretion.
Currently in Anaheim for a Marriott conference. They rented out California Adventure after it closes to the public just for Marriott managers. So it’ll be all ours from 9p-1a. Food and drink included
Turned up the home theater to see what it really puts out at reference volume. It can go LOUDER than this. I set the volume to 0.0db, which is basically where Onkyo says that THX mastered movies should be watched as the directors intended. My ears actually HURT from how loud it was in the basement.
Recorded a clip, touching nearly 110dB. This is Rock Concert / Nascar loud, permanent hearing damage territory loud. I don't think I need to turn the theater up this loud ever again, I'm happy at lower volumes.

Yeah, that's more than I would want to experience. Concert last weekend and it was averaging 90-95dB, and peaked at just a hair over 100. For my right ear, don't really care as I've lost about 60% hearing in it, so the music sounded fine. For my left ear I kind of wish I had brought an 30-32NRR ear plug with.
So, this is my niece Jasmin (Jazzy to us). She made the college gym news about recruitment for colleges. She is the one pictured on the article. You may recall I have mentioned that we moved her (and the family) to Florida for training purposes to hopefully get her ready for the US olympic team...
My mother sent me a video of her in tears as all these colleges are inviting her to come for a meet.

I keep telling myself I'm gonna buy a set and always forget. Lol.
I need to find a single Allen key for my set. It’s missing a 4 or 5mm, which was in a bicycle bag when the bike was stolen. Rest of set is brand new, never used. Every time I see it I think “I should get that replaced.” It has been like seven years.
I've started saving all of those stupid allen keys that come with furniture and shit, as when I do lose one of my normal ones, I have a box full of random ones that work too.
If I can “acquire” one that matches I’d be happy. It’s an extended length with a rounded head. Otherwise I’ve got another 3 or 4 complete SAE and metric sets, including a really nice small fold-out set that I carry on the bike now.
As a follow up to this thread….

Fuck yeah! Talked to my neighbor good guy Brian and he lent me a much nicer rotor puller and came by with a bunch of thick washers to cover the hole in the hub. I clearanced the dust shield to get the puller on better but shit is done! Fuck yeah middle finger bitch! Now my wife can stop bitching about the grand Marquis and I can replace the fucking radiator in it.
🤬 what made you say FUCK today?
Fuck, I should really just change my name to sketchy3.6 ?
