@C3C7NIC

Sorry about the engine, I was afraid of a dropped valve.
Like I said be super happy wasn't running along at 4k rpm or it'd be new engine time.
When it's apart that head may need replaced as that has tendency to crack head or seriously damage them unfortunately. At a min the head will need to be taken apart and everything checked as to not have this happen again, I suspect bad parts caused it so new keepers at a min. Could have been valve tip broke off also so they may all need replaced.
For the value of the car and the risk of damage to the car the engine should be taken out of the car so it can be gone through properly.
I've grenaded more than a few engines, trans, diffs yours about the best condition I've run across so you're lucky in that aspect.


Most of them you need a 5 gal bucket for the pieces.

Good luck and don't worry it'll get done and done right.

I'll pass. I love tinkering on cars, but the constant chit show of things going sideways is making my enthusiasm drop to an all time low. The additional challenge of finding good parts (OEM or aftermarket) when needed for this car makes it EXTRA specially annoying.
This is the kinda car you just trailer around and show. Do not drive it or more chit will break Garage art. Put it in a plastic bubble.

Morning all

Off to another day of hell in the medical field. We are doing 3X the work with 1/3 of the staff. The staff still trying to to push through are DONE. Had another nurse turn in her notice yesterday.

It's noble to want to help people, but when you can make just as much $$ doing something else and literally not kill yourself I guess the question is "Why?"


Had 2 more admits yesterday of healthy under 50yr old patients. Yep, you guessed it, unvaccinated.
I'm sorry things are so shitty again at work. Killing yourself is not the best way to live. They just mandated the vaccine at the VA for all medical staff and support staff as cases are spiking again in Utah. We went from averaging 350 a day to 1,200 a day in 2 weeks.

Happy Friday all. This has been a solemn week for many of my Marines with everything that's happening in Afghanistan. These guys feel extremely defeated. I've been doing my best to help, praying for them all.

Stikki lives 20 minutes away. He'd fit in better over there. It is the westside, though, so bring extra ammo.

He doesn't own today as where he is you even have to get a permit for a BB gun.
