TX... the pockets smiley is great....

 

Im officially broke

 

stop crying!!!

you got that motor in yet???

 

damn I just got back from mexico sunday night and they just called my wife that her uncle is in the hospital in critical condition and aint going to make it... all her family are headed down so we got to go too I like going overthere but damn I hate driving... after about 2hrs of driving I get very tired... planning on taking the beater for this trip, I think I trust it enough for make a 1000mile roundtrip?? (fingerscrossed)...

 

my truck has been wasting some oil, I did a search on here and read to change the pcv valve... I changed it this morning, but the old one still looks pretty good??

anybody has some other suggestions as to why its doing it??

it had never happened until after the camswap?? I hope it was the pcv valve...

 

Only other thing I can think of is maybe the timing chain cover seal that goes around the crank pulley is pinched check for leaks down there. I had a problem with the t-chain cover leaking where it meets the oil pan with mine after the cam swap. Motor isnt in Im still painting **** and Im waiting for my heads they are suppose to be at my house right now so Ill probably drop it in tomorrow since mjhoward is off and he can help me. Im going to get everything done tonight expect dropping it in.

Im not crying about having no money its just true I dont

 

mine has been drinking the oil since the headers and stall...if you find the problem let me know. almost 2 quarts in less than 1000 miles

 

Does anyone know anyone with 05' and up Silverados, VHO's, VortecMax, or SS truck that has ditched the rear drum brakes for discs???
If so PLEASE let me know where to get this conversion kit!!!
Baer told me no. Who has the answer for me???

I'll hopefully be gettin my servo installed this weekend. TX, if not, I got a friend who can do the servo install too. He's doing mine for free, well, I'm bringin the beer. But I doubt he'd charge much.



On a better note, me and my girl have been trying to buy a house for a while now. Need to get one, so I can start on the new 1996 Impala SS project. Well, we have been appoved, and I went and found a piece of property today in Santa Fe down towards Galveston. Its 3.28 acres and is ready to put the house on. So things might be looking good withing the next few months for me. I'm trying not to get too excited, but man we have been looking for over a year now and things have not been good.

On a side note though, TX, I'm gunna need to borrow that empty pockets smiley. lol.

 

hell, if my truck is out of the paintshop by this weekend i wouldnt mind joining you guys for some servo installs hell, ill bring the beer for both of our jobs that is if your buddy dosent mind...oh and thats the community empty pocket smiley. use it anytime. congrats on finding some property. hopefully everything goes through!
