Rattler

I don't know where I got this one, but I think now's a proper time to use it:"Assumption is the mother of all fuckups". We assumed the intake-valve of cilinder #7 was bent. We where wrong...

As you can see on the pictures below, my bumbstick was a little bit hungry and started to eat lifters:

Bad oil is the cause of this.

A familiar sight which I'm getting used to right now: a red car with an open hood and half an engine in it...* sigh *


Can you say Purple Cam?

Paperwork

Not much to post this week, sorry

My car is getting a new set of lifters and pushrods because two where bent. Don't know what caused it, but it has to be replaced. So...where going to do that.

Also, my paperwork is roaming around somewhere in transportland. I'm sick and tired of making "nice" phonecalls every day and getting the same answers. This "process" is killing me. It all started on the 12th of december 2007....I believe I can say my middle name is "patience".
