Aaaaannndddd We fixed Scheides air compressor too last night! Who knew you could blow a head gasket on an air compressor... must be a mitsu designed part.

lmfao that was the most amazing thing I've seen in a while man! Frickin dude pulls the head off my air compressor and examines cyl walls, piston, and then yanks a make-a-gasket roll off the shelf of my garage, cuts out a new one, slaps it in and shit is golden. Unreal.

Ohhh thats nice then! When you think you'll have it back up and ripping around?

Unsure, life and work are my first priorities...lots going on so the car will get my attention when I have time. I'll get the block/trans apart and on the stand over the next few days or early next week, make sure the head still looks good, and go from there. Just hoping to have it back together and broken in by early June.

Spent a little time this afternoon and yanked xfer case, pulled out the transmission, and tore down to the shortblock.

Also took a pile of my spare valve tappets and sorted out valve clearances...we'll see how well my math works when I bolt the head to the new shortblock.

Nice! Just gotta put everything back together now or what?

I could never do an engine with buckets on my own. Seems way too complicated for this dumb ass prison guard. :lol:

Once you've done it a few times it's not so bad :)

Injectors are in the mail to FIC to get cleaned/tested and I think its time to buy some new flywheel bolts. I have to unmount the current shortblock and unpack/clean up the new one...I may assemble the longblock tomorrow but I need to decide about getting the flywheel turned and a few other things so I don't think I'll get too much further than that.
