13 hours of GEO

well, its 1:30am


I tore into the geo at 11:00am, it was running at 12:01

13 hours of oh great, this stripped lets take a 3 hour long cut around the situation. and uhhhh what the **** even is this for?

anyways the geo had a chunk missing out of the exhaust valve, dropping the compression to 2 psi in one cyl, and when you only have 3 thats 33.33 percent of your fun, GONE!

so i had to tear the head off, replace the valve, put in a new head gasket, and timing belt (omg so gay) dosent sound like much, but well I had never done it and Im only 5 years old so......

the LAST bolt on the intake manifold would'nt come off, so i had to take all the bs old ass hoses off and try to figure it out later... anyways after some exhaust work and some timing tuning it will be ready for ORR!!!

woo!

 

first mistake. I frequently prefer to drive around with some broken stuff, just to avoid the inevitable breaking of other stuff in the attempt to fix the first problem.....

 

I pretty much did all the work....

 

+1 this also goes for ghetto rigging mods.

 

Aren't you the duct tape intake guro, ha ha. MacGyver would be proud.

 

I think he'd be slightly infuriated. He could fix it permanently with a birch twig and chewing gum.

 

pffft, they did all the work, I did all the brain work.

 

It runs, its on the road to the ice races as we speak, running on ALL 3 cyls!!!

 

and now its dead

 

that didnt have anything to do with the way he drove it last night would it? ^^

 

it is perfectly healthy to get stuck and then run through all the gears over and over again.

 

it seemed perfectly fine at the time.

 

the hole in the block was rather large lol. good thing you were only about a mile out of town when we rolled up

 

so when does part 2 start?

 

pics?

 

so it's dead now?

 

yep, threw a rod thru the block

 

very. we could smell the oil about a 3/4 of a mile away :hsugh:

 

yea, we got towed.... i just got home and we left at 10 am

 

so did the tow guy feel you up when he was shifting?

 

haha im afraid it wasnt a stick but i was tired from leaning toward tim the whole ride...

 

ha ha, glad you all made it back finally

 

yea it was a journey the best was the way there, some lady was laughing at it and tim was like your jealous and we screwed with our waitresses* head at perkins
