RALM your innner rockers are probably pooched, once you pop that plastic piece off you will see how bad it is.. car's probably ready to fold in half.
 
de greased a great dane mower to find a oil leak today. found it, engine needs to come off and needs a new crank case cover gasket.


like this. 19 hp Kawasaki. found a manual for the engine, should be cake. getting the engine off the mower will be more work then the actual fixing of the gasket.

I will never take PRJ wires off again....I changed my plugs and to get the wire boots off was a *****.....I 4got how well these wires seal, but damn.....

Also swapped out the EGR valve, still need to clean the throttle body though......
 


So leave your engine side upper mounts rubber.

With them, its shake city.

And to think i was considering poly lowers. :th_nervous:

I heard something on the radio yesterday about some refinery fire out west is why the prices jumped out there.

What's funny is a refinery fire, which won't even affect gasoline prices for months jumps prices, but a drop in barrell of oil cost means prices don't drop for weeks.
 
I swapped in some GR2s up front. Now I need to pack up the Konis and sent them out to be rebuilt and order some other parts for them.

Wouldn't that engine be much smoother than a 3800?

If i bump the idle speed up to 850 is all gone.

Yeah, most guys who run the solids on 3000GT/Stealths bump up the idle to get rid of the idle rattle. I kind of like the feel, but I think I am going to change it up when I put the car back on the road. I went with the solids because I broke my first diff due to wheel hop. Well they didn't help because I broke 3 more diffs after that and there was no wheel hop involved there. Anyway, I think I am going to keep the solids front and rear since those are the two that take the most abuse, and put stocks back in on the sides to dull the vibration down a little. I don't intend on racing the car anymore anyway.
 
Lowered it and waiting for the springs to settle. Not sure how long it takes for them to settle, but I can already see the difference. handles nice also.

After, springs have not settled. Took this pic 15 mins after getting the car off the jack stands.
