Day 8

I dropped off the block at Master Performance Plus in Brampton to have the Pistons Rings and Pistons installed Professionally. Dam princess auto tools... I should pick that up on Saturday.

But I did install the silicone on the Oil Filter Braket, PCV Block-off Plate and Coolant Thermostat.



I have currently ripped out the 2 front Struts and started working on the suspension bits.
I started on the Passenger side and the dam axle cam out when I didn't want it too...


I've run into an issue with one bolt. The Torques Head bolt that is connecting the Control Arm onto the Knuckle... The nut cam off but the bolt is seized and now stripped. I will have to take the whole Arm and Knuckle together to hammer it out. Other then that all the tire shine I put on the tires spraying everywhere have seem to oiled everything else nicely.
Most of all Bolts are come free once tapped with a hammer then spin free.
My car is 2005 with 210000+KM driven every winter except last and this. But take a look at the only rust I could find on this dam car lol.

Well I will soon have the block back. I have to get at least the front suspension bits in as the (old)wheels and (old)suspension are sold along with the (old)block+head. Now I just need someone to take the rest of the left overs and that cervini midwing lol Maybe I'll put it back on to upset Jamie So that means I need new rubber for the Cobra R's to sit around. I got a killer deal on some Triangles that actually have tones of grip in the summer for $52 each lol.


Speaking of Jamie. He will be doing me a favour and picking up some 5spd tranny bits from Wobb in the new year for me and I can't wait to get it, clean it, and slap a LSD in with a light weight fly wheel and clutch.

That's it for now...
