ENGINE PULL REMINDER 11/29-11/30

Beetleboi -Greg- · November 21, 2008, 09:06:22 PM

Aren't doing this in two days? I thought about getting those spring loaded push rod tubs too. Don't you still have to take the push rods out?

Maybe I'll have to postpone it the engine pull. :'( I'll let you guys know tomorrow what's going on.

ENGINE PULL is good to go, spoke to my owner and worked things out with her. Engine Pull is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT canceled if you happened to see the post I previously posted today.

Jack we are trying to get a hold of some spring loaded push rod tubes for Saturday, hopefully we can get a hold of Bugstuff, if not we can get them by Friday from Mid America. I though you had said they were junk at one time? Maybe that was somebody else.

You have to take the pushrods out but you don't have to unbolt the heads

Order them from J C Whitney online today, pay like $13.00 in shipping & get 'em in 2 days.

Thanks for the idea Shawn but I dont trust Jcwitney with engine parts. Just going with my gut.

Baha (Shawn) · November 23, 2008, 05:50:24 PM

Not for this type stuff...It's internal parts like pistons & oil pumps etc. The tubes are Empi. The same thing you'll get from any of the other vendors.

I think I have one or two of them on my car right now!! I think my engine is a scrap pile engine everything is bent up and miss match parts.

Baha (Shawn) · November 23, 2008, 07:45:51 PM

I think it's better than you think. Yes it ooozes oil

BUT

It doesn't smoke

It doesnt knock or clang. (Valve noise doesn't count)

It always starts

It's reliable.

You drive it all the time without a problem... (You were cruisin at 60- 65 all the way to Englishtown without a hicup)

The way you describe her one would think you leave a trail of parts everywhere you go.

Enjoy your car...She's a good one

Very true Shawn, you should hear the funny noises my Corolla makes.

Beetleboi -Greg- · November 24, 2008, 11:24:21 PM

I need to know who is coming and your donut/pizza preference unless you want me to get regular pies and keep it simple.

So far I know these people are coming,

Jack
Jim
Me
Shawn
John
Joe
Matt

Is that right? If your name is listed and you cant make it, or you said you can make it and I forgot you let me know!

Also, I may need a runner to get the pizzas unless I can go pick it up when we go on lunch break I feel weird leaving the pizza and Jack lives in bumble so the delivery will cost mucho dinero.
