Anybody free this weekend? Help needed.
Permalink  
 

So this year I changed jobs to get into a "safer" line of work. Since I started at the new job I once again tore my rotator cuff and bicep. followed up by having a couple sheets of Melamine fall on my head giving me a concussion. So Monday I have surgery AGAIN and will have my arm in a sling and out of work for 6-12 weeks. So is anybody free to help get this Camaro on the road?

My lovely brides 92RS getting new heads, intake and Aaron detailing sandblasting and painting everything he can take off. Trashed my arm before Memorial Weekend at work so can't turn wrenches push or pull along with torn bicep muscle. Aaron has been doing most of the work but he can't break loose bolts.

Most likely yes Monday I will be totally out of in and Tuesday just really sedated form the Surgery. Working on this still, but have gotten to the point of a homicidal killing spree of all gm engineers and deserved car guys would say.

Thanks

Dave

Well broke the AC housing taking it out, still could not get the last manifold bolt loose. Not one single wrench I owned would fit in the tight spot. Went to Sears to return the broken tools I have and pick up a crows foot wrench that I thought would work but no crows foot wrenches there. They did have this ratchet with a hole through it and socket set for $40. So might as well give that a try, Got home and Aaron put the wrench and socket on with a cheater pipe and low and behold it is loose. Now I need to get the air pump pipe loose from the manifold to pull it out. Then clean block and all gasket surfaces and FINALLY start reassembly. May not be done tonight but it is a lot closer than before.

Well Jamie stopped over and got the heads on so Aaron can continue reassembly. Of course he said that a new timing chain would be a good idea. ARGH!

WHY ME and the can of worms? F^&*(N Jamie said just do the timing chain and be done. Well so finally wound up pulling the engine to get the oil pan gasket replaced. Now the engine is on a stand and more of the BS keeps on coming. Those Vortec heads don't just bolt up as easily as I was lead to believe. They have a smaller bolt and cost a nice chunk of change, but Brian did get me a set. Just want this car done and out of my life so tired of this crap and not able to wrench. Got the sling off and can now start lifting 2lb max. Yes going to be a long fall and winter at this rate. Went into the eye doctor for exam and new Rx for glasses today. Well wouldn't you know the concussion syndrome is still lingering and I can't even get through the eye exam. Hope luck changes soon.
