Sorry guys, took it the wrong way...Welcome Brent!!

I guess I need to have some kids, the Feds don't allow me to take a deduct on the 120lb loveable mutt we have that has almost $7K in "titanium rear suspension" in a 7 month period. It ain't fair, he's family too.

Hey Ed someone on a water cooled forum ripped off your Avatar man !!! .and no it wasn't you ...

anyway If you have been reading some other threads I a may be dropping my engine soon to do some oil leaks, nothing as extravagant as yours but it got me thinking.

DId you buy all the special tools to lock and unlock the cam sprocket hardware and for timing the cams ? if so where did you buy it ?

Thanks .

Ice: That sucks about the Avatar....which waterpumper forum was it? I need to fix that...

I borrowed some tools from a buddy, so I'll probably be going that route. I used an impact to get the cam bolts off, as that is accepted practice for disassembly, but will be using the cam tool, z-block, etc for reassembly. Performance Products and Vertex have the tools, I believe, as does EBS. If as a last resort you can't find them elsewhere, you can go to Pelican.

brent, the one I want is fed-ex'd so maybe a week. I have dumbed down the megapix on my camera from 6 mega to .8 mega. We have dial up and it's a little slow.

take care, gotta get more kids up..

ouch, that was funny, but I've got no girlfriend and the wife is the one with all the tax deductable income so I gotta keep her. My house is a daycare 15 hours a day. do the math....14 kids X at least $600.00 per month. minus the $9.00 per hours X 8 hours for the helper. Add in the house payment, electric bill, water, trash, sewage, gas, and you have not just zero taxes but a nice fat check at tax time. and yes a house that is going to pot......

edit: not only can I not spell I cant form a sentance

It is going to be 2 purchases. first the fabspeed then the other two. still open to more advice.

Bank the rest. See how you like it. Or you can buy some 8 & 9 Fuchs from me. And shocks.

Bank it.

Well, Douglas, I'll meet you and your bride at the Venetian; after dinner at Emeril's place we can stroll on over to one of the Blackjack tables and try our luck...

we best go across the desert in the winter. I'd rather buy you dinner at the Panda Express at the grapevine exit. You name the date and time and I'll be there. Seriously we could make it a 2 car run.

Now that's worth looking into! By the way, I love Panda Express...
