Hahaha I did not get it on tape Jbrew, but I have all ideas I would trip over my work boots as well if I really gave it a go.

I'm hoping I'm not driving 3 hours for nothing. It's a completely refinished assembled short block for $500. I have a complete motor that the fuel pump, intake, etc. will be coming from so I'm pretty well set. Just need gaskets and a shop book.

 

I was under the impression you did it, I believed you jp...now I'm Joe pain and suffering. Yup, pulled a ham bone.

Any kind of warranty ? Probably not. But usually it works out. Who goes through the trouble and expense if they don't know what there doing right. I'd go for it, broken toes and all. As a matter of fact, -off to see my Girl. I'll share your tippy toe story and attempt to hide mine. Hopefully she won't catch on to either.

 

Hole crap #2 - Never agree to tag along with a woman who's addicted to Ikea. I guess it wouldn't of been that bad if I had enough warning and brought my tools buuutt.. like this, --have any tools, be right back, hands me Swiss army knife, the kids version with 3 butter knives and scissors that won't cut. harassment begins, can't even open the dang box with that thing. Doin fine still, - put together the bathroom iduno, over the toilet shelving unit before loosing patience with that nifty all in one device of hers...brb, headed up to HD or Lowes (no HD around her place close) and purchased her first wittow tool of worthiness....just a little Makita cordless drill motor. Had some burgers, tripped over boxes for a bit before heading for the hills...or back to the house anyway. Perhaps I'm just over-reacting but come on, half the store in one night...that's a Big place! Feel like a used and abused tool err Joe assembly line, wasn't aware I needed Ikea skills for this relationship...If she wants to break it off...yea, MERCY!

I was all polite an all and vented on the drive home with a few select CD's, guess this is take 2...sorry fellas.

Maybe I'll feel different in the morning..(yea, if I awake in the tropics, - with a sunrise martini in one hand)...

 

Negatory on the tippies?

 

Nah, just a summery of tonight's events. Deleted it, decided not to burden you guys that crap. Kind of glad no one caught it lol.

 

LOL.... I thought you had a potty mouth for a minute.

No burden though, your posts are always entertaining.

 

It was no big deal, just a Woman, Ikea vs Man rant lol.

 

Ikea..... I despise that maze. I feel trapped and lost in that hell hole.

 

I put that post back up for you white, since this site let me revert back. Wasn't in the entertaining mood when it was wrote, but since her and I talked quite a bit since then, - it is a little comical reading it over again today. Not that I would talk that way to her lol. Somehow she knew I was upset a little, - even though I'm positive I used my inside voice when cursing putting that thing together without tools.

So what's new fellas, what are you all working on?

 

Got my short block home and it will be going on the stand tomorrow. Also have a ball joint going out prematurely. Has anyone here gotten replacement parts through moogs lifetime warranty before?
