okay. so i drove the car today!!! just around the block, but still. and i'm still leaking oil onto the manifold, and it's burning off, making one hell of a stink. karl said he thought it was the valve cover gasket... which means i need to source a G60 valve cover, and a new gasket. that should be an "easy" project. *knocks on wood* relatively speaking. but it drove okay. and i adjusted the shift linkages to where they were happy. i still want to get a new shift lever, because the one that's in there is all fubar and sloppy. some more tweaking of the clutch adjustment and such, and it should be getting close to happy. and i still have to do all the vacuum shit on the intake to get it running properly. there's some REALLY nasty clicking going on in the compartment somewhere. it sounds like super-pronounced lifter noise on a single cylinder, but it could be anything. i hope it's not something with the cam. i don't want to tear the engine apart. no thank you. at least... not yet. mwahaahaaa. and i'm also the king of breakfast for dinner. half a dozen maple links and a poached egg. i fucking rock sometimes. i'm not gaining weight yet, but this summer's muscle is definitely softening a bit. oh well. i obviously don't care enough about it to do anything yet. if only delilah played jazz. that would be nice. but i drove it today, that's the important thing. and i wound up doing the CV joint all by myself anyway... so add that to the repertoire. i'm really starting to get this. and it feels absolutely marvelous. only bad thing was, i accidentally sent a jack stand through the already disintegrating floor pan. things to NOT look good for homestarrunner... i'm not going to be able to go through the snow with this. shit. oh well. one thing at a time, right? |
