I...I...am modding like heck, and aint gonna take it no more!!!

lol, goobers.

I think we just made a breakthrough.

*golf clap*

Just kidding, you guys are nuts but that's okay. Just don't let the corrosion get to you and I think you'll be fine.

I won't give you any crap about not doing the O2/cat delete, Rick. You and your catalytic converter seem to have a bond that no human can break so I wish you two godspeed in your relationship together. :p I pray that no SES light will ever pry you apart. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PAIR. Oh dear, the sight of you and your awesome converter makes me weep with joy.

brb throwing up

LMAO. Doth I detect a hint of sarcasm? lol

LOL

Nice observation as always, T-bat. :p


Whatever happened to the pics of the hijackers we found in your engine bay, Rick?

Did he have some mice living under the hood?

No, but we found a furball large enough to be one...

LOL, Arc. Never did get a pic of that one. I'll try and post the pics tonight. Bear in mind this job lends itself to little disposable time.

Gah****, Coery, I'd say you bought a few things!

The cat thing is more because I intend to return home to Phoenix, and they are STRICT on emissions there.

Lmao, this has become an amusing thread...

with Arc, John, Jon, and I, was there any doubt? lol. Slick had commented once, with all four of us in the car, that in that one day, he had heard more silly voices out of me than the entire last year, COMBINED. I cant explain what it is, but Arc sure brought the silly outta me. I think I was serious for about 30 minutes, combined, throughout the whole day.

"gotta take care of those nuts, huh, [Arc]?"

"sure do, John. Dont want something bad having it's way with them, now do you?"

it was a SILLY fun day, for sure! Enjoyed the time. GOT to do that again. Soon. Without wrenching. At all.

bzz bzz~

...and Rick was trying to claim that I was the ricer. Then we find he was stuffing bees in his engine bay in an attempt to sound like rice.

Here are the pics I promised.

Me starting to disconnect some stuff.


Still disconecting


UIM being loosened


UIM ready to pull


UIM off, LIM exposed. notice all the old oil in there?


Closer view of oil pools


Bug husks. John was too slow putting the intact bee back on


Protecting the oil galleys and some passages into the head

Pictures of corrosion and water jacket blockages caused by DexCool and bad LIM design


Same blockage, different head


LIM and new UIM/HV3 ready to install


Arc's car on the right, Ace's on the left, Slick's tail barely visible
