Houston area roll call!
What ever the sound is I don't think it is a stuck lifter. I pulled the valve cover and everything looked good. The rockers were tight and they all moved when the engine was cranked. So I put it all back toget and decided I'd run it till it blows. Then rebuild!

I attempted to replace my motor mounts (Daystar) today. The driver side was no problem, took about a hour. The passenger side, 7 hours in, and still have not finished. I can no get the dang thing to line up. After removing it several times I installed the mount to the motor but can't get the mount to line up to the frame. Any suggestions?

For those on the south side of H-Town, my son went down to this spot last week. He said it was pretty good.

I have fenders and the doors, am getting the front lights highway legal this weekend.
So after that it will be able to be registered if someone wanted to drive it on road.

His Titan was covered in mud. He has a 6" lift with 35s. Said it got pretty deep a few times but he did fine. His one issue was a hill that was slick mud all the way up. He made it about 3/4 the way up then slid back down. He did finally make it.

Have any of you guys heard of this place. I guess it doesn't seem bad for a quick trip to test some upgrades. Its just south of Westpark near Dairy Ashford and Bissonet
