Title: Need to borrow!!
Post by zfver on 07/22/07 at 18:12:18

Well I ran into a little problem while down at WF. I was on the dyno and went to make my first pass and I think I blew a headgasket or something. It feels like its running on 4cylinders compared to six. I really havent looked into it just yet. But I was planning on pulling the motor anyways to put some go fast parts on it ;) I was wondering if anyone has a engine hoist and a transmission floor jack I could borrow say next weekend? Is there a place around here that sells those things? Thanks in advance.

I think o'reilly's pretty reasonable on them. Rent city rents them but can't you get 1 from the base for little of nothing?

Im not sure if the base will let you take them back to your house or not. I know you can take your car up there and work on it but you have to pay by the hour and Im not sure how long it will take me to get everything together.

Well I wont be needing the hoist after all. Hopefully. I just replaced my spark plugs and yea.. 3 of them where burnt up pretty bad. Well that cured the idleing and missing problem. Runs smooth like it did before besides the exhaust leaks. Now I just need to figure out why it overfilled the overflow tank and ran hot on me. Hopefully everything is fine. Heres some pics of the plugs.

when we burn up our plugs we just take them out and put a new one in. its better than have to change 16 plugs every time u make a pass with james's car hahaha REMEMBER LEAN IS MEAN
