edit. new engine picture because they're fun...
Head gasket, IM/EM gasket, valve cover gasket, new plugs, new wires, decked and ported head with new valve guides, volvo coolant tank cap upgrade, new t-stat and gasket, water housing hoses, and the bosch injectors. Kinda spent some money on this thing after I noticed an unwanted compression pattern worthy of a head gasket problem.
edit edit... None of this shows how awesome it was to find out that nearly every bolt and nut were loose in the engine bay. Not rusted or ceased on. If I didn't spend so much time cleaning every nut and bolt before I put it back in I'm sure it would have taken a few hours for installation.

Has anybody in here made an oil filter adapter wrench? My adapter has been leaking for some time and I really need to get the gaskets in soon. I can build my own but that involves a trip to Harbor freight and then the welding shop for some more wire, but I have to do that anyway.

Not his, although that fact that he NEVER takes care of it may have something to do with it. He got a new-to-him 2003 Ram, so he just abandoned his S-10 on the street. It doesn't even have paint on it, just gray primer.
Then the instant i started helping him look over his Ram (At his request), he starts accusing me of trying to one-up him. I drive a 21 year old jeep that barely runs, how can i one-up him on the streets?

Now i can. I got the exhaust done! Sadly it leaks at the at the cat, any tips on fixing that without welding? Tightened the clamp so much it crushed the flexpipe.
