one thing after another
i took my car out for the first time in a while since i installed my new rear, slide a links, shocks, springs, etc. it felt real good, untill the car started missing a little. so i stop by my house, and then decide to limp it to my shop, (about 3 miles away) i get half way there and hear some really bad motor noises and shut it off immediatly and coast into a lot. i then walked back to my house to get my bike to ride back to my garage, to get tools and my truck. i get back to my car pull a valve cover checked all the valves. fine. i go to the other side as soon as i pull the cover off, a roller rocker falls to the ground. all i could do was laugh, i ended up breaking a poly lock and it backed off the stud. this had happened before about 45 minutes from my house once so i had a extra in my car, put it back togather and just parked it. its fine now, but i think i am getting over the whole high mantainance thing. once i get this car into the nines i might be looking for a new toy. nothing to be dissapointed about, i set a goal once achieved i guess i have to move on.

heres another story, i am driving my car today, do a burnout out front of my house and the exhuast i clamped temporarily started leaking a little, so i figure i should probably fix and go to my buddies house and borrow his welder and tack it up. while under there i notice a little oil dripping from the front of the motor. i go up to see what it is and and the balancer bolt was loose, so i tighten it up and the balancer is still wobbling. i cracked it at the keyway. so now i have to replace the balancer, and while its off the road for another week, i am going to get a mid mount alt setup so i can run my electric water pump. i swore i wouldnt abuse my credit card when i got it and i been good for a couple years but i need some stuff and i need it now. i am not really mad still just disappointed.
