Re: 20 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

You should drive it across Kansas during the day, just to get accustomed to the heat that is going to greet you in Moab! /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Re: 15 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

I am expecting my pretty new High Angle front driveshaft to be waiting for me at home today. Cant wait to go and put a barber pole in it to match the other one. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif Other than that I am just tightning bolts and hoping for the best. The truck has preformed flawlessly so far this year. Who is going to want to take on Potato Salad, escalator, and Dump Bump early Friday while everyone else is arriving?
 
Re: 15 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

We could just meet up at City Market and I can take you there. Says 7:30 so we can beat the heat.

Re: 14 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

So what was the cause of yer oiling troubles?Is that whole list gonna be done or just the engine?

Good luck,use the force and all that good stuff /forums/images/icons/grin.gif
 
Re: 14 DAYS TO MOAB !!!

Frizz,

The latest theory is that the oiling holes on the Comp Cams Roller rockers are misdrilled....got that info from an engine shop that has heard a few reports of it. If you compare a stock "stamped" rocker to a one of Comp's rollers, you'll see that the hole in the stock rocker is drilled at a noticable angle, and the Comp one is pure vertical. Also the offset in the pushrod pocket appears to be off too....!!!

Not sure if this is the answer, or it's a combination of that and a bunch of scored bearings bleeding off oil pressure from the top end.

And YES....unfortunately the ENTIRE list is going to be done before MOAB. That's not even all of it...that's just the parts I've ordered recently. I still have to mount and balance tires, cut fenders, fix a bent rear shock mount....install long travel Ranchos up front....etc.etc.etc..

I'm so screwed for time....I don't even want to think about it. /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif

And you're posting here instead of wrenching? /forums/images/icons/shocked.gif /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif
Or is it "Hurry up and wait for parts" at this point?

A death in the family, old 396 may it R.I.P.:(

It will take a lot of midnight chanting resurrecting the beast.

Do you feel like your out at sea treading water?
With your list a stuff tied to your feet.
A storm is coming?
