Mounting the heat exchangers to the head.

Front wheel bearings

Packing the CV joints

My least favorite this morning is replacing the CHT. It's damn near impossible to reach behind the intake manifold through the little hole and thread the sucker into the hole in the head. Frustrating as hell. I know it can be done but, cause I've done it before. It's almost easier to drop the engine and then do it. No one say "Ah, patience Grasshoppa" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif)

Nope I needed to recalibrate the sensor. It's running great when warm but, starts like it has carbs. The CHT is different than the one I ran on old smoky and the warm up enrichment cuts off too quickly.

I have a couple of 2.0 l muffler gaskets that came in the engine gasket kits. You can have them. The price is free (well not quite). All you have to do is listen to an old fart bitch about getting his fingers behind the manifold through the hole and then screw the GDMF into the hole.

looking at the SOB in peices, sitting in my garage, taking up room, after having to pull the motor for the second time for some BS problem that I didn't catch.

That and wiring.

I will forget about it when it is running and everything that I hate will not seem that bad. Until something breaks and I have to fix it then I will hate that job until it's fixed and then the it won't seem that bad. Viscous cycle. I guess I'm a glutten for punishment...... piece of (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/stromberg.gif)
