    Convinced a downpipe hanger to bend forward and up. Also new valve cover gasket and @Adapted_Performance engine dress up kit on. Couple more things done. Next week high gear kicks in. Valve blasting time. Intake manifold due next week too then off to get powder coated. About 2 full days of work is my guess. 141B1B7E-72FF-4335-BF83-B9B92FFE2BA7.jpeg B8EAE50B-BAAD-45DE-9D49-CB59C882353F.jpeg 3A77D127-9482-481E-8137-8DB1186F28FD.jpeg 819A0D5B-5D9B-46B5-8FC5-A172B034706A.jpeg

    They got a nice coating of oil. 6 months no fire, was needed. Hoping in 2 to 3 Wednesdays, to be driving and getting my tune redone.

    ah, sadness, yeah, they had that "static" appearance.

    wierd how a car repair is such a different animal when there is reliable secondary transportation available

    Oh I know. I had a deal presented at work (I sell Mazdas) to lease with 20k a year terms which after incentives and discounts work out to be not much. Plus I had dumped a ton in repairs in 2019 to make the move. That said it's been a long 6 months and I'm eager to drive my speed again for a while.

    She refuses to release the fuel injector connectors. One crumbled yet still won't release. Gonna take non carpal tunnel hands to get them to release I guess.

    Hit the connector with some soapy water. That should help get it out
