Re: JD's assault on a 50+ mpg daily driver.
ok
Anyway, been working on this for the past two days. I keep getting bit in the *** by redundant things.
Retard who had my short block for a while stripped out the block drain threads.
Retard who had my short block for a while took it out of the plastic it was wrapped in, and peeled the tape off of the bores/bolt holes so a couple years worth of ---- could collect in them. He also put a waterpump that obviously didn't fit on the engine. Ricky Wright, if I ever see you, you better run. I spent 3 hours tapping and retapping ten holes because of your ignorance.

Re: JD's assault on a 50+ mpg daily driver.
I had seven different people swearing they could get me an oil pan/pickup/etc over the course of a week. See also: Y8 IM. Gary came through with the pan, DSM Nick with the Y8 IM.
I need a B/H cam key since my Skank3 Amateur Series cam gear doesn't have a key built into it like the OEM D16 gears do. I need one (1) OBD2 era D16Y short headbolt as this block/head combo needs two short bolts and not the one I was told. I need a bigger than stock TB that fits on a Y8 IM; I'm guessing the OBD0 LS unit I have is a little different, hope the GSR one in the shed fits.
Well, I had offers of shopspace from seven different people. I hated making plans with Harry then going somewhere else, but every time I go there I'm blocked in by ten people who don't know how to find a ------- parking space when I need to run parts or pick up my kid, and there's always 27 people underfoot ------- with my ADHD by asking me well intention questions designed to make me forget wtf I'm doing. So, I went a mile down the road from your house to Goforth's.

So are you working tonight? I can help, the wife is working late so I got nothing to do.
