NoRoadtrippin Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Alright so I'm not gonna do a big update tonight. I will post pics of the carnage progress on Thursday night after I do something actually measurable. The night started by working on timing belts. After a phone call to JmP, we were confident things were lined up correctly and we got the crank pulley and timing belt off just fine. Up next is the cam bolts. Managed to get driver's side intake off. Moved to driver's side exhaust. Totally shredded my 10mm hex. I was having none of that shit. I mean WWTD? So I set out on a mission. I failed at this mission. I managed to hit AutoZone, O'Reilly's, Lowe's and Home Depot between 9:35 and 10:00. Of course, no one had a solid 10mm hex. Got one on order from Amazon. It'll be here in two days. Prime FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoRoadtrippin Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Sunex. It means exactly what you think it does. It was too early in the night and I hadn't accomplished all I set out to today. I said to my self, "Self, would MrTris be okay with me just giving up on this?" And then myself reminded itself, "You're a man, and you were meant to do this. This is guy shit." And I remembered all the streed cred I'm gonna get from the kids once I finish this, and I went on my futile hunt for that damn bit all over town. Now I'm watching Modern Family. Whatever. I think I'm gonna go take off the oil pan or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoRoadtrippin Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Welp, I blew my was today. I spent four grand in about a half hour's time and I now have most all my remaining parts on the way. I went way beyond my build though. I'll post all the details in the OP for my running tally at some point. Now I gotta scrounge the house for spare change along with guns and whatever else I can find to sell for a buck.

NoRoadtrippin Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Bahahah. That's always an option I suppose. I'd rather get into contract killings though I think. Assassination and sneaking around in the dark is more my style. Plus, I've already got the money invested in suppressors. Might as well use them. Need anyone whacked? And yeah, the'98 OBS has way to many rattles to escape from any damn place. It does just keep on running and running though. 275k on it at the moment.

NoRoadtrippin Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Late, but as promised, here is the big update for this week. There was some delay as I ruined the previously mentioned 10mm hex, but my hardened single piece 10mm showed up a couple days later and, by God, that block came apart whether it wanted to or not (spoiler alert: it didn't really want to). I did take off the oil pan on Tuesday as I said before. Crazy shit here. It was held on by all of three bolts....every other hole was empty. IMG_0989 by Team 1 Group Development, on Flickr It was definitely full of metal shit. IMG_0992 by Team 1 Group Development, on Flickr IMG_0993 by Team 1 Group Development, on Flickr AVCS bolts were next. This was my breaker bar setup. Its a piece of top rail for a chain link fence; about 4' long. Took one bolt and an attempt on the second before shredding the hex all to hell. IMG_0990 by Team 1 Group Development, on Flickr IMG_0991 by Team 1 Group Development, on Flickr I probably should have taken some pictures during the process of removing the heads, but I didn't. That wasn't very helpful of me for others in the future. Sorry. From talking to Tris, it doesn't sound like its the norm, but my head bolts were incredibly hard to get off. Once I had the hardened 10mm, the AVCS bolts weren't so bad. But these damn 12 point bastards shredded multiple pieces of my socket set. There was one other Snap-On extension destroyed that belonged to my buddy. It left with him before the photo. IMG_0998 by Team 1 Group Development, on Flickr They eventually came off though. Cams and associated pieces are wrapped and ready to go to the head shop on Monday. Both the foreign car specialist in town and the dealership recommended the same shop so I figure that's my go to guy. IMG_1000 by Team 1 Group Development, on Flickr Not much remarkable to see here. IMG_0999 by Team 1 Group Development, on Flickr And this is all trash.... IMG_1001 by Team 1 Group Development, on Flickr So earlier this week, the four grand I spent... EJ25 shortblock BC BR Coilovers Cobb Catted DP AVO Front Underbody Brace AVO Rear Underbody Braces Mutegi Lug Nuts (free with coilovers) Mishimoto Magnetic Oil Drainplug AVO Turbo Inlet DEI Ti Wrap Walbro 225lph Fuel Pump I'm up to a little over 7k spent now. I'm a bit out of control. Don't kid yourselves into thinking I can actually afford all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
