Need to get some oven cleaner to spray the block down. Excuse the background mess. Also working on braking down a pop up camper to convert into a trailer.

Cut down balance shaft for the delete

This pile o' crap. Old engine next to it.

That silver ring in there is the delete sleeve. Theres an oil galley in there that needs to be covered so i can sustain desired oil pressure.

Giant mess. Upgraded axles. Strut bar. Blahblahblah

 

Didn't see any rats..
You been bb target shooting?

 

Not yet. Been watching them run across the cross beams though. They dont like the power tools or the bowls of peppermint I have in the corners and cars.
I need to go buy a BB toy now. Thanks

 

As always, trying to keep you focused

 

Successfully carried the engine across the finish line. Im sore. But time to order parts for the stratus. That'll give me something to do at work 😂 car is up there already broken down. Lmao

 

Bought back that 06 grand caravan I sold a couple.months ago for 1/3rd of the price 😂 They say you can't buy time. I literally just did. Lmao

Got the cooling system figured out. Another trip to the junk yard and that'll be taken care of. HHR thermostat housing, rad hoses, and resevoir I'll be good to go.
Found everything I need for the oil pressure sensor as well. Just need to get that ordered. Figured with the BSD and Plugged cam lobe port I rather be safe than sorry.

Stratus may get done a little quicker as I'm not doing anything to it other than a complete engine reseal on my junk yard engine. But either way, I'll have both cars running and the GC will be for work and towing until I decide what imma do with it.

 

In an unrelated matter., My 97 SC2 with the subframe issues passed inspection. I drove it less than 300 miles last year. So I may be coming to visit Billy.

 

Pssst subframe hacksaw time

 

If I start soaking it daily w kroil I should be good for spring, yes?

 

Kroil is the best thing around for soaking rusted bolts, derf. When I was pipefitting, that was what we used exclusively. Start soaking now and you SHOULD be ready to go by spring.
