Definitely find myself all over that flow chart.
"There can be no divided allegiance here.  Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

I think that you,myself and Taylor suffer the most from can't leave it the hell alone. Never good enough syndrome.

 :m I would add enemy to that list  :m and we only do it cause we know it could be better  ;D

On another note, took my truck in thinking it was time for ball joints. Noticed the front tires were starting to cup on the insides. Bought them 4 years ago. Ball joints are tight, both front rims are bent. Left was the worst, in the sense that one could see it wobble on the dynamic balancer. Took 5 ounces of weight to tame it down and 2 ounces on the right one. No idea what caused that.

Been working on the utv. Found 2 coolant leaks so bought a bunch of parts to do a number of repairs. Heater core plumbing was one leak and pulling that dash wasn't fun. Thermostat housing is an encapsulated 1 piece plastic housing and second leak. Bought an aluminum housing with serviceable thermostat. Also, valve covers were plastic and began to warp as they all seem too avoiding to many on the can am forum. Replaced with aluminum and checked valve clearence. That requires pulling seats and fire wall.

Figured out the boost control issues. When the engine tipped on the 3 legged stand, it shattered the alt. Didnt look like the damage went any farther. A fragment struck the wastewater actuator canister. Bent the vac stem over and slightly caved the spring face in. Added 15 psi to spring pressure.

Good catch! Stuff like that can be hard to find/see.

You gonna be ready for LS? Be nice to see you have no issues so StA might be in the cards this fall.

I believe so. Turbo should be back in 2 weeks. Hope to have shock mounts located by Sunday. Will have to relocate the radiator again.

I always think I have plenty of time to get stuff done. Think.That concept just screws me every time. :m

I need to pull my rear coilovers and add a bit of rebound .One has developed a small drip the last couple days. New seals and a slight more rebound and I think I'm ready to get started doing some driving/logging of the 427 SBC. Body sides and roof are painted, looking good if I do say so myself,should have hood done by end of weekend.

You will make it. I hope you have a great trip this time. I ,all too well,know the bum feel when shit just goes wrong.
