POOP!
CRAP!!!
DOUBLE POOP!!!
Just got done knocking the pistons out of a 4.0L that I'd hoped to re-ring and re-assemble for my son's rig. The P.O let it overheat to the point that the under-side of the pistons look bronze in color.
Pistons are scored, cylinders will need to be bored .030 over to clean them up....
Anyone looking for a builder short block that's completely that's dis-assembled?

Anybody here ever done the rubicon or any other NorCal trails? I'm taking vacation this year to run the entire state. I know SoCal pretty well but nothing north.

Anybody ever had experience getting a socket stuck in a spark plug hole? Tried reversing it out by hand, with a impact, pliers, wd-40, and putting in a locking extension and pulling it out. It spins but is stuck in there, not on the plug. cant fit vise grips or channel locks in there. It is a deep socket. Was thinking a molly bolt but the only one that is small enough to fit in look like it will snap, or hooking a bolt head in and putting a nylon nut on the other end and pulling it out by that. Any suggestions

I have slept about 6 hrs in the past 3 days. Hudfab is moving to a bigger, better shop!!
New shop is located at 44th and Ward.
Did I mention that moving sucks!!!!
I just ordered a set of suspension seats for my xj..........Im ready to wheel in comfort. Seth, before you get mad at me for not ordering thru you, can you beat $80.07 for two suspension seats shipped to my front door?!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah, George, you were right.....sold the toyota the day after you told me I would. My better judgment got ahold of me!

The AFC West.

Went to the game yesterday.
Enjoyed spending the day with my wife....game wasn't worth watching. I missed most of it watching the screens around the stadium, the drunks.
Say what you will about the Broncos's but they are in the playoffs, unlike the chiefs, raiders, chargers, cowboys......
So Rothlesspervert and the steelers are coming to town, could be interesting considering their injuries right about now.
Go Broncos!!
I might even be at that game too.
