Hopefully get 95% of Honda work dome today, that cylinder head is a cluster. We've fixed 6 threaded holes that were completely stripped and a couple more were mangled.
Waiting for assembly lube to arrive today.

Have a good day everyone
Morning Jim

In another 10K miles the scheduled timing belt change for my wife's Honda Pilot will be due... I changed one a long time ago on a 1989 Accord but not sure if I'll attempt this one, don't want to end up doing cylinder head work due to something stupid... haha!

Morning fellow barners

Quite depressed this am.
Got caught at a stop light last week Tuesday during a hail storm.
TV reported the hail as 1" size.
Anyway, last Wednesday, I noticed small size dents in the hood.
Maybe 50 of them.
Contacted my insurance agent (e-mail), he said file a claim, it won't
affect your policy rates.
I said I'd get a quote before deciding on it.
Took the Bronco in Monday to the local Dent Clinic, a paintless repair
shop I've taken both my Harley, and mini van to. Very pleased with their work.
Got the estimate yesterday evening.
$2450.00 . Damage on every corner, including the removable hardtop (?)
Don't know how they'll fix that, it's molded fiberglass/plastic.
Shit! It'll cost me $500 deductible. Sent it off to my Ins. agent.
Waiting on his reply.

Sorry to hear about the hail damage, hopefully the insurance will cover it.

Good morning all MikeB I’m sorry about your Bronco. I hope the insurance takes care of it. I get to fight with them today to replace my windshield with an OEM one. A rock from a gravel truck said “**** your windshield”.

Also doing fun training modules today. This one is asbestos awareness. Pretty sure it was created in the 80’s lol.

Hey Robert State Farm may not cover the whole cost for the windshield. Since it has a front camera, it sounds like OEM is highly recommended. A few people with GR Corolla’s have had issues with their adaptive cruise, lane keeping, and tracing not working well with aftermarket windshields. Also…it’s about $2k for the dealership to do the install. I don’t think State Farm isn’t going to pay for that as they only have Safelite as being in-network :/

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you take your pet pterodactyl for lunch at the taco truck, you really need to take him on a long walk after. Holy shit. Literally.
