    Thanks again Frosty for the picker! yes i have the engine stand and picker hooked up. the wife is in my garage as well as the Master, Remi the boss. it would take a lot of Michelle to make this thing fall. Michelle is very much a bull in a china shop type of person and i really dont want her to get hurt.IMG_11891.thumb.PNG.3bb476e950425fcdb4b6e51faa6d8b97.PNG

    sooo here we are today the motor is out 1st time in 7yrs..iirc (and i probably dont) found a freeze plug core plug whatever you want to call it weeping at the beginning of the summer. only found it because i was chasing an oil leak. But these pics are a mod im doing to shoot a bit of oil at the distributer and cam gear. This is also an area where crap can build up behind this plug. this also gets rid of possible air pockets starving #8 lifters to starve from oil. Using a #60 wire gauge drill bit i drilled through this plug. This is helpful if using a composite distributor gear. I am not personally. Pontiac SD motors came this way i bet for a good reason.

    i sold the comp cams lifters they sent me under warranty. i went with crowers and no complaints. my PRW rockers are coming out soon. My oil drain plug has a magnet on the end and i have been getting a toothpaste like build up of sludge. apparently this is also a known issue with prw. Why can't companys build good parts and just charge accordingly for them? Both cases i told my builder what i wanted and well it didnt go so good with his recommendations. Combined with metal not brass freeze plugs the reason the motor is coming out soon. The #1 reason i like to do all my own work.  kinda like frostys Pontiac dealership experience with the ujoints and flex plate bolts. NO One is going to do the job as good as YOU will. Period.

    I made it home thanks to a spare distributer i keep in the trunk! stole the coil out and was running in 15 mins. stopped at mazzas's for a spare to keep on hand. And i still beat you guys to the venue LOL what a great day indeed. The sunbird was a huge hit at the show everyone was doing double takes LOL glad to see her back on the road and all your late night thrashing paid off.
