Its not that Im mad cause people arent helping, Im mad because when I do ask people for help they are like Im not helping your not trying hard enough...

Nah I was talking to my mom I said I wanted to put the car up for sale, she said no, I was like ok but if my motor goes it goes up for sale, she said no, I said Ok if the motor blows we are going to build a 800hp motor she said no I said 750 hp motor she said "what ever" :grin: I think Im gonna start looking for potential sbc parts as a next motor cause a 100 shot on a bone stock 305 is gonna be a big problem :twisted:

blowing an engine may seem cool, but it sucks when you realize your out of a car and now need to spend even more $. oh well.

You are still young, theres no rush to learn everything in one winter. When i was 15-16 i was into bicycles, i didnt care about cars. i was into freestyle and bmx. then 8 months before i turned 17, i got my 1st car, a '73 dodge coronet, which i actually wanted then, what did i know. I coudlnt even tell if it was a 2 or 4 Bbl carb, but over time i learned more and more. and a month after i turned 17, i got my 88 Trans am GTA. And i continued to learn. While i was in HS i did very few things on the car myself. Only towards the end of my senior year i really started getting involved with working on cars. A lot of people around here have older brothers or fathers that helped them out and got them into the hobby, but im one of the few that didnt have any parental persuasion. i did everything on my own from day one. My parents know nothing about cars. Hell, even my GF is starting to know alot about cars. When i first met her she liked cars but knew little, now shes got the Monte and is already making plans for heads cam and a supercharger, all of which she will help install. My point is...relax, ok, so maybe it wont get done for dyno day, but you time otherwise.

ehhhh I think we found your oil leak :-)

[bad64chevelle]

of course you do jon...
Anchorman.....please tell me you have seen it.

[V]

and...
my iroc 355(that part of the cam fell out the back of the block)...

my LS1(just the parts of the oilpan that fell down so far, notice the bolt is sheered off. lol)...

Anchorman.....please tell me you have seen it.

does it count if i was hammered and don't remember it? If yes, then yeah, i've seen it...

[79CamaroDiva]

and...
my iroc 355(that part of the cam fell out the back of the block)...


damn cams are devious little buggers.

[V]

it went right during a 2nd-3rd gear shift at about 2800rpms, just in normal driving. The oil and antifreeze went ALL over the road, cops finally came, then a tow truck, and the driver had to use 3 bags of speedy dry to clean up my mess... lol

The LS1, just went in my driveway, exact cause isnt proven yet, btu the motor will be out by mid april and ill known for sure then what happened. All i can see up through the shattered oil pan is that #1 rod seems to have let go, and the pan shattered, front engine cover shattered, and the explosion(yes there were flames, lol) also cracked the front corner of the aluminum block..so its a total loss.

[Ian]

ahhh, engine carnage! :twisted:

when I tore down the 305 that was in my pick up, all 8 pistons had chunks missing from them :shock:

And Matt, I personally have been pretty busy and very tired the past few weeks, but when it gets nicer out and I'm not all tied up I'll help you out. It just gets kind of annoying when every other post made by you is asking people to help with your car. people wont even be talking about cars, but you'll chime in with it anyway. Just calm down. you dont need your car to be in one piece for a few years anyway, who cares if it sits with the motor torn apart for a few weeks. It will get done eventually. and as far as you running out of money, well, thats what you get for trying to build an LG4 :lol: . seriously though, you probably shouldn't have ordered nitrous for it, thats going to be a waste in my opinion.

[Brando56894]

im just learnin about car too bro, i barely know **** about my car :lol: when i got my first car i didnt really care that much about cars, maybe cuz mine was an 89 nissan stanza gxe and i couldnt do anything worthwhile to it, i was (still) interrested in computers. then i got my firebird and was like wow i can actually do stuff now that will actually be worthwhile! stuff takes time bro :)

[BigAls87Z28]

If Matt blows an engine...its not like he is SOL for a ride, unless the cam shoots out and blows up his Huffy.

[oh one ls1 SS]

if u have ur car done and running perfect with ur NNAAWWZZZZ its just going to be a bigger temptation for u and ur friends to go out joy riding and racing..its better that u dont have it done yet... y are u in such a big rush anyway? ur 14 and cant drive ur car (legaly) for 2-3 more years..take ur time..work a little at a time and if u stop asking everyone for help every other post eventually people will come around..i said it before and ill say it again..if i knew anything about how to swap a cam or how to install NNAAWWZZZZ i would be there helpen u wrench but if u want someone to watch and give my 2 cents on what i think should be done..its ur call

[79CamaroDiva]

:stupid:
i've watched and helped in a few cam swaps, i could probably do it on something non-computer controlled, but i dont know the first thing about ripping apart the damn computer. give me a real mechanical engine any day, other than that i'm lost.

[V]

melissa..i was hesitant to jump into fuel injection when i was buildign the Monte, but now that its over, i woudl think nothign of it. theres quite a bit to learn but not that bad, the tuning aspect is a different thing though, lol. Only thing different with computer controlled cars are really the intake manifold. The LS1s are different but nicer, you dont even have to remove the intake manifold to do a cam swap, just remove the valve covers, and unbolt the rockers i believe then turn the cam a few times and all the lifters pop up.

I could do a cam on a SBC any day of the week, but its just the work involved that can get difficult on a car thats 20something years old. rust takes over, bolts break, wires become brittle, etc.

[Savage_Messiah]

:rofl: @ all the engine carnage pics

[V]

i would help, but... i have this fear, a fear that ill mess up and then if something goes wrong, itll be my fault. Its a paranoia ive almost always had even though nothign has really gone wrong with stuff ive worked on. I was so paranoid that the 350 i completely rebuilt for my monte would be bad, that i bought a spare motor to start rebuilding to replace it. Well, the 1st 350 runs great, no smoke noises, or leaks. Even with the 383 i half built and swapped in, no mechanical problems, im just still hesitant to work on other peoples cars. If its something simple or a bolt-on part sure, but getting into engine/trans/rear internals... only on my personal cars.


kasey, buy my tires dahm it, lol

[Savage_Messiah]

I do need em dont i... did you get my voicemail btw?? somehow I managed to break that god damn plastic part around the seat belt clip today while changing my oil... go figure

[V]

yeah i just got it around 2 when i turned my phone on. ill look what i have tomorrow.

Ive decided tomorrow i'll finally unbolt and remove my drivers side header completely and then just unbolt all but the last bolt on the passenger side. Then on monday ill crawl under and remove the passenger header and put the stock manifolds and cats back on.

[V]

ok, well both headers are unbolted, and the drivers side header and cat are removed. I just gotta drop the pass. header and cat tomorrow and then reinstall the stock manifolds and cats. I also took the MSD wires off and oem wires are going back on. Heres some more engine carnage.. my poor LS1...:missu:

[WayFast84]

when are you getting a new engine? dont you have a waranty? or was that on the denali?

[V]

the SS has a warranty until August 2006. its going to my old shop and my old boss is gonna take care of everything for me. The Denali has a warranty as well. They do come in handy...lol. Except when i blew the rear in the SS twice and that was a whole mess.

[WayFast84]

If I had a waranty that thing wouldve been in the shop within hours

[oh one ls1 SS]

his car was "modified" thats why its been sitting..as far as i no
i actaully had my LT's on when i blew up my trans and messed up my rear and they covered everything under the warranty so u might be doing all this work for nothing

understandable..i dont wanna go into the motor untill after its out of warranty anyway because i no im going to blow something up before 11-2007 :)

[V]

when i blew my rear, the extended warranty company came and checked it out. i had lowering springs and a catback exhaust. The approved the new rear right away and noted down the mods in my history. When the rear went the second time 2 months later. The warranty company would not cover it due to their policy that the dealer who fixed it was responsible under their parts/labor warranty for like up to 6 months. So it got towed back to the first dealer. They looked at it and said it blew the 2nd time due to the car being "modified" and they voided their warranty. I was helpless, AND another dealer had it before and they said it blew the 2nd time due to poor workmanship and not be installed correctly. I ended up towign the car home, it sat 4 months and i bought a rear off ebay and instaleld it myself, no issues since. but anyways, my warranty comapny said in no way could my mods cause that damage(i put a piece of the carrier out through the rear cover) and they said the dealer was being retarted for voiding their warranty but they couldnt make them fix the car. I could have probably gotten away with getting the motor fixed with the shorty headers, but i wasn goign to risk it, especially since im so close to the end on my warranty, i had 5 year 50k miles, i'm at 5 years in august and 48k miles now. better safe than sorry.

theres a recent law saying that unless the dealer has proof that the mods caused the damage that they cannot deny you... definately look into that

The Moss-Magnuson Act: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/warranty.htm

- Justin

[V]

yeah, the moss-magnuson act came up while dealing with my denali. Ive read up on quite a bit of legal crap about warranties. The whole deallwith the rearend in my SS could have been solved, but to be honest i didnt trust that dealer with my car, even while we we talking to see what was gonna happen with my car, they parked it out in the front right by a main street(like 2 feet from the curb and it was forcasted to snow like 6+ inches that night, and they wouldnt move it.(plows, salt, etc) Thats why i towed it home. but anyways, i pad 300 shipped for a rear from ebay, it had 6k miles only and i sold off all the extra parts that came with it (calipers, rotors, springs, lcas, panhard, shocks, tq arm, e-brake cables, brake line) and made my $300 back.
With my SS now, i just want NO issues, i want the adjuster to come look at the car, approve the repair and write out a check to the shop for labor and a new GM crate engine.

holy ownage batman!

[V]

kasey, why cant you install your own rear? lol ive done like 4 rear end swaps on my back. oh wait, youd probably have to borrow my tools, lol.

billy, i saw the hills have eyes last night.. it was ok i thought, but me, my girlfriend and our frined were debating it on the way home... like how was the gas station attendent really involved, who were actuall miners and who were offspring after the testin, how could mutations be present in the older guys if radiation exposure kills and just mutates following generations, why did dave drop the shotgun when he got his baby back? and many more, lol.

melissa you got the lead when you were postwhoring :-D like kasey and brandon, hehe

kasey just call them...Justim or timtin...they youll never be wrong.. :bunny:

[Tru2Chevy]

kasey, why cant you install your own rear? lol ive done like 4 rear end swaps on my back. oh wait, youd probably have to borrow my tools, lol.

Yea, I'm guessing that tools would be the main concern. I managed to swap my rear in by myself, and it wasn't fun, but I managed...

Kasey, heard back from Tim yet?

- Justin

[Savage_Messiah]

No and I just tryed calling him again...

Paul the reasons are: manpower, lack of tools, and that the new rear has no brakes so they all have to get swapped over. Now that I think about it, should I pick up some brake fluid??

[Savage_Messiah]

And I know your names, but does Ms. Most-posts-in-this-thread????

[Tru2Chevy]

No, we shouldn't have to disassemble the brakes. Just unbolt them intact from the old rear and drop them onto the new one.

- Justin

[Tru2Chevy]

And I know your names, but does Ms. Most-posts-in-this-thread????

Heh - She has a nasty habit of forgetting....

- Justin

[Savage_Messiah]

ok. Something (that is my eyes looking at the rear, and theyre in agreement from when Paul looked at it and what he said) tells me we may have to slide out the axles though... that shouldnt be anything crazy though right?

[Tru2Chevy]

If the axles have to be removed, then you will need diff fluid and gasket maker (Right Stuff).

- Justin

[Savage_Messiah]

I have the fluid ready to go already... (will 1 quart suffice? I can never rmember if it's 1 qt or 1 1/2 qts) and I was just gonna pick up a standard gasket, is that gasket making gel type stuff better?

[Tru2Chevy]

I always use Right Stuff to make those gaskets, haven't had one leak yet. You'll need approx 1.5 quarts of fluid + the limited slip additive.

Try PMing the old man - he doesn't read this thread.

- Justin

[Savage_Messiah]

gotcha gotcha... will they have right stuff at autozone?

[Tru2Chevy]

yea paul me and my friend kept on calllin the youngest boy/guy in the movie a fricken idiot cuz he would do retarded stuff in the movie, and when that dude dave got his daughter back and dropped the shotty i said to my friend nick "whatch hes gonna come back to life or some stupid ****" and surely enough he does.... as for the gas station guy he was definately involved in all of it, if he hadn't told the family to go through the dirt road there wouldnt be a movie!

[79CamaroDiva]

And I know your names, but does Ms. Most-posts-in-this-thread????

I don't think i have the most posts in the thread anymore because of class... damn time spent away from the computer.

And I know their names. I keep saying, Tim's tim, its just that Justin is Tim sometimes too ;)

actually, i know their names now, i just like to piss the mod (if thats what he's calling himself these days) off.

[V]

Kasey. If you want, you can do the rear swap at my house, but its be in my driveway and i wouldnt really be able to help(ill be working on my SS) so have people come to help, lol, but i got all the tools. And yes you will have to pull the axles out since the new rear has no brake backing plates which will need to be swapped over from your current rear. You will need the diff fluid like justin said and any auto parts store will have a rear cover gasket for a 10 bolt, ive always had greta luck with standard gaskets, never tried the gasket maker stuff personally. You will not need brake fluid as long as you are careful and un-clip the hard metal lines from the rear before you drop it. that way the calipers will stay attached.

i still wanna see V for vandetta, but i dunno when ill get around to it.
And i still need to finish my header swap, today was wasted away which i wasnt too happy about.

[BigAls87Z28]

My dad and my little brother saw V, and both of them really liked it. My brother just LOVES to not tell the ending to movies :rolleyes: , so he spoiled it for me already....

Did you mean tonight? I just saw this now :(

Plus I need Justin's stock torque arm, unless you've got one lying around from a late 3rd gen or a 4th gen

[V]

tomorow too, im home all the time, tonight is too late now i think.
what wrong with your TQ arm, just cut off/unbolt the 2 piece DS mount. i think i only have one from a 94 v6 camaro, or one from an 88 iroc.

**edit** post 2100 whoohoo... about 100 more and this thread will ahve more posts than the entire South jersey sub-forum...haha

[Savage_Messiah]

The 2 piece mount is welded on, I have nothing really to cut or grind it off

Tomorrow I have class from liek 12 till 5, so unless its at night after 5 i cant... ill talk to you at some point.

Edit: the other thing is tuning, thats another reason I was gonna go down there cuz bill's there... unless he's coming to the dyno day, then this could work. I'll ask him.

[Ian]

I'm pretty sure bill isnt allowed to tune anyone at the dyno day. :?

[Savage_Messiah]

not on the dyno, i meant liek right before hand, it's just recalibrating for the gears.

Paul I may go there and do this tomorrow night, then swing down to Trenton friday night and have bill tune, then dyno saturday. That sounds like a plan.

[V]

ok, i should have my SS done before dark, and i'll push that outside to get picked up wed morning, so we could do your rear swap in the garage most likely. too bad my lift isnt in yet, lol.

[Savage_Messiah]

awesome, I'll call tomorrow... gotta go put the bullet on now. Even tho I'm gonan have to redo it cuz my dumb ass bought 2.5" gaskets by accident, so I'll have to reuse the blown out one for now.

[V]

oh boy...lol only you, ok yeah call me anytime tomorrow, well after 10am
:bunny:

[oh one ls1 SS]

and my cam swaps after kaseys rear is done..right?

ah, glad to see the activity has risen for the thread again.. now its back on its way to 10,000 posts. haha.

I was out driving around tonight thinking. I am sorta thinking about opening a shop to do work on sports cars, trucks, etc. not a regular repair/gas station. My gf's sisters bf is also looking to do the same thing so im gonna talk to him and see. If anythign happens it would probably be located over the border in NY somewhere, unless i can find a small shop for a decent price/rent in NJ... i'll see what happens, i dunno, where my life is heading at this point, but thats one direction.

[Brando56894]

thought you hated car paul? :lol: sudden change of heart?

[V]

its a love-hate relationship... i hate working on mine, but if i was making money for working on cars... i'd cut them a little more slack... lol

[Savage_Messiah]

that would be awesome man

[Tru2Chevy]

Sounds like a cool idea, a custom car & truck shop of sorts.

I'm pretty sure that it did not. I just watched that movie last week...

There were three restaurants, IIRC: Chotchkie's, Flingers, and another one I can't remember.

- Justin

[Savage_Messiah]

that is exactly the line from the movie......


Ian, where is this Shenanigans you speak of.....NJFBOA Buddy List executive board meeting??????????

[Ian]

the Shenanigans I was talking about is in the poconos. Lake Harmony to be exact. If you decide to ever go there, tell me how you liked it. I cant go because I got kicked out of that town :?

[turbo96z28]

where the F is everyone?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[ThatCamaroChick]

I swear to G-d I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says, "Shenanigans."

[BigAls87Z28]

"Hey Farva, whats that place you like with all the goofy **** on the walls?"

[turbo96z28]

"You mean Shenanigans?"

[Tsar]

I swear to G-d I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says, "Shenanigans."
Shenanigans
BRING IT ON!!!

[ThatCamaroChick]

I think the late night crowd would enjoy being pistol whipped by a chick :twak:

[BigAls87Z28]

Nah, just the Ruski because...well...hes Russian, and thats how they do things over there.
Dont mind Tsar, years of being on Space Station looking for Moose and Squirrel has twisted his sad mind.

[Brando56894]

:funny:

as for paul, kasey and I weve been stuck in his garage since abour 6 pm today, just got back from there at like 2 am

as for the pancake bunny club all i have to say is : :bunny:

and kasey is that driveshaft hollow?? :D

[Savage_Messiah]

yes dick.

4.10s are fun so far... no WOT r anything close to it till tuning... and no launching (or so i told myself even tho ive done it twice already... just half throttle to see how easy these tires lose traction... ;)) will TA girdle

[V]

yeah, im here now, but im beat. after we finished the rear swap around 12, i had to go downtown and get my GFs monte running which died tonight.

I searched the web for shenanigans and really just came up with references to the movie "waiting". There is a bar/restairant in IL though. tomrrow ill search some more.

Hey kasey, maybe the rear isnt an LS1 since the brakes say 1995 ;-) ...lol

[Savage_Messiah]

heh.

How was the monte?

[V]

i got to the parking lot, tried starting it again, and nothing...just kept cranking. battery had 12.5 volts so it couldnt have been a dead alternator that made it stall/die. i decided it must be ignition related. i thoguht ignition module at first. i decided to just make sure all connections were tight, i pushed on the coil wire, and the two connectors that go to the coil. i couldnt get to anything else really without tools to remove the distributor cover. i decided to try it again. this time it fired right up and stayed running. i drove it home and its in my garage now. Shes taking my truck for tomorrow and im gonna re-do all the connections at the coil and drive it more tomorrow and see if it happens again, but i think it was just a stupid loose wire. stupid tpi monte carlos...

[Savage_Messiah]

At least it was simple, lol

[Brando56894]

to clue you guys in, a conversation between me and kasey at pauls house:

me: how much does that driveshaft weigh?
kasey: 10 lbs
me: damn, is it hollow?
kasey: no its aluminum

yea i know its not that funny, it was one of those "you had to be there" kind of things...

[Savage_Messiah]

BTW , how bout a big ol WHAT THE **** for the metallic paste totally covering the magnet on my old rear's cover...

[Brando56894]

yea that was pretty nasty

[Savage_Messiah]

For all you pople there'll be pics later.. .but damn you couldnt even see the magnet. lol

[Brando56894]

and they werent flakes, it was literally a paste of metal....

[V]

whoohoo..this is post 301 for me in this thread...haha, and the first to reach 300 in a single thread anywhere on the boards. lol. and like 10 more posts and this thread alone will ahve more posts than the whole south jersey forum.

Kasey, the last rear, the one we took out, did TTP open it up or did they never have the cover off. no offense to anyone one this board that works there, but wow... the quality of the previous rear swap doesnt make them look too good. broken abs wires, half-assed brake lines, double rear cover gaskets... yeesh

[Savage_Messiah]

Who knows, but... yea...

[Brando56894]

:bunny:

[Tru2Chevy]

the line was "by next door do you mean chochkis or shinaaingins" I beleive
score one for WayFast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that is exactly the line from the movie......

Sorry guys, but that's not right. Chotchkie's was the name of the restaurant that Jennifer Aniston's character Joanna worked in, so she wouldn't have said the name of her own restaurant.

The actual line was: Joanna: "When you say, next door, do you mean, uh, Chili's or-or Flinger's?"

- Justin (Office Space geek)

[BigAls87Z28]

Thank you Justin.

[Tru2Chevy]

Thank you Justin.

Anytime 8)

[bad64chevelle]

what about your flare?

now i gotta watch Office Space tomorrow.



i got a new monitor last night.

it's a Westinghouse LCM-19v7 19" flat panel with intergrated speakers. only $299 at Best Buy.

i gotta say, pretty damn good monitor for the price.

[Tru2Chevy]

Who's flair?

Not too shabby. I only wonder if the refresh rate is as good as they claim. Are you a gamer?

you bet i am. :D


i played a game of Oni on it last night and it looked good, but i'm withholding final judgement til i get my new graphics card in and start running the monitor through that.

right now i'm running an Intel 82845G/GL graphics controller.

[Tru2Chevy]

Ahh - on most LCDs, switch from the D-sub to the DVI cable will make a night and day difference. I recently bought a Samsung 940b, and it's a really nice monitor. I got it refurbished for $270ish.

- Justin

[turbo96z28]

i was looking at that monitor. $270 isn't bad.


and i totally agree about he DVI, which is why i can't give a full review yet.

[Tru2Chevy]

We currently have 10 more posts here than in the entire South Jersey forum. :)

That is all....

- Justin

[Savage_Messiah]

hah... south jersey... lol

[79CamaroDiva]

this thread has just turned into its own forum i think. It's no longer quite as funny as it was, nor is it nonsensical, however, it just keeps on going.

I just want to clarify... everyone DOES know what the pancake bunny smiley came from, right???

I have a feeling that there are many people who don't. I showed this picture to some people the other night, and they were very confused:

- Justin

[Savage_Messiah]

Yea... I knew right off the bat that's why I foudn the smiley so hilarious, but i've gotten the feeling many people think it just some cheap novelty... not soemthing with a rich history and heritage.

[79CamaroDiva]

of course i knew the rich heritage of the pancake bunny. jeez...

sadly my nvidia geforce fx 5200 has the dvi input but its gay and only goes upto about 800x600, i forget if that happened in linux or windows i should try it again. so right now im using analog with a 21" LCD monitor :-/

[bad64chevelle]

Jake and I keep telling breezy we need to make some pancakes and put one on his rabbits head but dont think Breezy wants to... :-(

[V]

i asked where the bunny came from in the "more smilies" thread, and i got an answer with a link to a site explaining it... very intersting.. now i appreciate "Oolong".

did you know...
New York has a law forbidding blind men from driving automobiles.
In Macomb Illinois, its illegal far a car to impersonate a wolf.
In Tennessee, it is illegal to drive any car while asleep.
In Memphis, it is against the law fir a woman to drive a car unless there is a man either running or walking in front of the car waving a red flag to warn approaching motorists and pedestrians,

[turbo96z28]

I just want to clarify... everyone DOES know what the pancake bunny smiley came from, right???


i knew where it came from.

my friend sent me a link to the original site way back when.





In Memory of Oolong :bunny:


BTW, Oolong is also the name of a character from the Dragonball series. he was a small shape shifting pig.

[ProtekYoNutz]
