BADS33D - Johnny Johnny...now don't you know by now..that I always take care of my 1up Family...don't even stress you're all in like FLYNN!

Just make sure everyone is registered for the chance of the first 100 if not no biggie...you'll still get in... no problema! ;)

Hey...was hoping to talk to you all and see if we can all make a little tent meet when we get there so we can all hang out together...I'm thinking of bringing a cooler and drinks and stuff...last year it was hot as frijoles...and maybe some comida and stuff...wish i could bring a BBQ cause that would be the shiznit...so...since I'll be there solo...boo..hoo...and running around at times...just thought I'd give everyone something to think about...

Don't forget sun tan lotion just in case!

 

^Yea the tent sounds like a great idea. And after that drive to Moroso, im sure we're gona be hungry.

So i removed the fans again, got al that fun stuff out and back in but the fans still arn't working....

 

yooo. thanks for the invite yesterday, julian. i had fun! now i gotta deal with this check engine light.

 

sup homies... 1yr anny was great.. hadnt been to disney in a long while, so it was cool checking out all the changes since the last time i went.

On a side note, Johnny, max is going to be riding with me, so shes not taking her car.

Rick - thanks for the info man. From both you and Pete, the guy that tuned your car sounds good. how are his rates? Ive got a FIC that needs tuning

 

Glad you 2 had a great time!

I took Max's name out of the original list for VIP since she is riding with you now. So everything is all good.

 

I spoke to you on wednesday ^^ remember.
I have the turbo tc with the CF hood, and the head gasket problem (stock gasket).

I have arp head studs and a cometic head cylinder gasket (for about 5 weeks) in a box. I was gonna get a copper one, but i'll leave that one for when I do my engine build.

On a side note, here is my current progress.
Right now, I have the valve cover off, alternator off, oil catch can off, oil drained, coolant drained, intake manifold I think I have all the bolts off, exhaust manifold + turbo + downpipe is off, battery off, hood off, front strut off, charge pipe that goes to the throttle body off, ingalls stiffy off, bolt to the front motor mount off (so I can have some free play with the engine), a few bolts off the timing chain cover. Took out the bolts to the camshafts.

I am a little stuck though. I need to relieve the tension on the chain that is holding the camshafts. So I can get to the headbolts, and pull out the cylinder head. I forgot to print out the pages that pete gave me a few weeks ago. Regarding the removal process >.< So thats where i'm at. I gave him a call, but no answer.

Just taking a few minutes to eat and drink.

Anyone have the link that pete gave us?

 

Sorry man.. i just looked at my favorites, and i didnt save em. it should be a few pages back, but its gonna be a bish lookin for em

 

dammm =/

 

Hola ppls...just wondering if everyone in the 1UP family has their "buddy" goin wit them to VIP????
car wont be ready for VIP but hopefully HOPEFULLY ill be drivin mine to Exposed, lol.....

 

Wohooo the FKN car is finally running. Now i can drive it to the mechanic and not have to tow it lol

And Jason, np man. It was fun

 

I am my own mechanic, lmao.

Jeez its such a PITA.

If I didn't like saving money so much on labor, I would pay for it, lmao.

I finally got the freaking oil pan off, it was a complete PITA, I glued it on real good, when I did the turbo install a looooong time ago. At least it never leaked around the oil pan.

I'll start it again tomorrow. I have some more nuts and bolts to remove off the timing chain cover, remove it, and then I can relieve the tension off the chain. Get the camshafts out, head bolts out, cylinder head off, gasket off. Then do all that in reverse with my new parts.

Well at least thats the plan, lol.

Trying to make it by the time we go to moroso.

As Joe and Pete say (I think its them), "Its Goin Down!!!!"!!!!!!!

 

sounds like quite the mission homie. good luck. were you finally able to remove the cams? and do you know how to set the timing on them when you put them back on?
