Okay I officially pulled an dipshit move today. I was putting my drivetrain all together to be ready to install in my LE. All was going great as I had Mr Kona down helping me today. We got the transmission mounted. Put on the passenger side SS (bolted in place by Brian) & all was great. We change spots & I do the drivers side. I've got all the nuts on & am bolting into place. I have my torque wrench on there & am tightening away. It is was to big for the job but I figure all is well. Well I am a dipshit as I overtightened one & snaped the bolt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . I do have some nice stud pullers sowhile pissed for being an idiot. I figure I can get it out without to much trouble.
Hell no I can't. Even after some heat my stud snaps again at the head.

I then try to get under there & drill a hole to use an extractor. My extractor breaks in the hole I drilled. SO now I have to drill that out too. I am so frustrated & it's my own damn fault. I'm going to head to harbor freight & pick up a new tap & dye set. Any ideas on how to not screw this up any worse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Ignore that photo for the most part. Once the rocker assemblies are in place the clips will have something to attach to. You can put the rockers in before you put the clip in. The clip will bend enough to where it can be installed last. Just make sure the flat bits on the bottom of the clip are flush up against the push rod tubes. It's easy for them to slip during installation and to end up in the tube vs. against the lip of the tube.
You're almost there! |
