what's this silliness about?

go on pepboys.com, find the spectra radiator, cross reference it, find it on Jcwhitney.com, order it, install it, done.
wish i could remember the part #

asuming i am off friday, will try to button up the engine friday.

brandon, you have to drill that hole. it hates me. we will grind the flange nice and hook up the exhaust....if i don't already do it on friday.

need to check on that torque wrench....said it would be $100 to rent it....need it for about 30 seconds.

Hey, ..... Logan, .... do you have the radiator like me that the lower pipe inlet is 4" over from the corner, unlike 95% of them? I have a place for OEM+ Quality ones. Not cheap... but I'm happy with mine, lol.

List of things to do today:

NEED TO DO:
kiddo to appointment about 915 (conveniently where I work)..18 miles thataway
Auto-Zone, buy belts(same area)
drive about 30 miles in the other direction to pay wife's truck payment
drive additional several miles to Harbor Freight (MAYBE....and ONLY if I find a coupon)


now that's a nice simple list....right?
problem is, work has been calling me since 520am......4 times. didn't answer the phone once.....need help covering a call-in. PROBLEM: I will be there with my kids and not for work-purposes.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR....this is how having this position means NEVER truly being detached from work.

I will try to save face by offering myself while I am there, for the time I am there

BRANDON...

if I can get that hole drilled today, I will.

things that NEED to be done to this motor is a quite short list. with your help we could knock them off. This is the point where I would rather have someone looking over my shoulder too. If you are free tomorrow, seems like it just MAY happen tomorrow.

ESCAPED from work, headed to auto-zone, wouldn't ya know it? had to put a burning building between me and auto zone, so had to abort the mission.

home to change.....had to get some pics of the fire and heading to Harbor Freight. have a 20% coupon in the ad that was sitting in my garage.

PROGRESS MADE.......0%
AGGRAVATION.........100%

Yup Jerry i was gonna suggest that, lock it in 5th and 4lo set the ebrake and block it. if that don't work someone can stand on the brake while the other stands on the torque wrench.
