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) |

Jamie,
If you run short on time getting it all together (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) , just get all the basics connected and bring up all your FI parts & your carb setup when you trailer your car and I'm sure there are plenty of people that would be more than glad to turn a wrench in Tahoe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) . I am really looking forward to seeing your car. On a side note...have you talked to people in the know what needs to be done to startup and break-in an aircooled motor. Not sure on our motors, but there are often additives needed for proper cam breakin, etc, etc. Mark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |
