Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

oh well. I still have my car and haven't called back the guy that left me a message saying that he wanted to buy the car. i just need to find something or bite one and tell him I am backing out. I don't want to back out, becasue I feel like a dick making this guy come up to my level and now not to sell.

Keep trying and to put yourself at easy on replacing the LIM Gaskets...

I think i watched that before when i was thinking about doing the LIM on my GP

Put on laptop, stream over wifi in garage... follow step by step. It will take you longer than 33 mins, but you will have no problems then lol. I've done it outside, under a tree, while it was raining (was sunny when I started, dam clouds came out of nowhere) and I didn't even have a torque wrench, we used my buddies air tools and he had a air wrench set to a certain level and never had a problem with it.

i don't have a garage, but i do have wireless at the house.

neither are necessary imo. use your judgement on torquing, do it evenly and in pattern. you should know roughly where 10 ft lb is. fuel lines. meh, just move the lines and rails entirely off to the side.

True that... but if you aren't experienced this could lead to over torquing or not enough and neither are good... but as I said, I didn't, I used air tools set to around 10-12 ft/lbs.

Added to the lines, unbolt the rails completely, unplug the power connectors to the injectors, and you can just pull the injectors up out of the manifold with the rails and all you have to replace is the lower o-rings to the injectors and the fuel system will still be solid and no fuel leaking. 90% of the time easier is always better.

You don't even need it necessarily, I disconnected mine with a pair of screwdrivers when I had an o-ring go bad while I was out of town.

I agree on the torque wrench. Just get a 20$ one at harbor freight or order it.

When I did my LIM I just bungeed the fuel rails up to my hood, never disconnected it

cooked some lunch

I put a water pump udp on my car, changed the plugs in my ex-sister in laws car, and took the control arms off my mom and dad's van so when they get them tom I'll be ready to put them on.

Turned 173k. Also let my rearview mirror ride shotgun. Again.

Too much heat. I still haven't installed my subs.
Then again, bashing my head into the damn thing three times probably didn't help.

please tell me you kept your 40th hood

your crazy dude
