Put the doors on since It's getting chilly in the mornings. Need to buy an air freshener though. Dirty grease smell is awful!. Ran some Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas this week and it seems to be helping . Got plenty left so I can do it again for at least 2 more weeks. I want her in tip top shape for winter which could start next month so no messing around, buckle down and have everything done. The only reason I like snow is to pull people out!

Final parts order from Adam's Driveshaft in Henderson, NV to complete the growing parts pile.

Also picked up a hi-lift, recovery strap, and front fork bike mount for my cyclocross bike. Rubber gets mounted on the Black Rock 997s then everything gets dragged to the shop for a parts party.

And your only getting a cheap *** head gasket. Nothing else you need to replace. Do you really want to skimp on that?

No that's a severe duty head gasket, valve seals, and some paints and other items I have everything else I need for the actual job

What did you do to your Cherokee today?-forumrunner_20120907_140729.jpg

The paint is for the header intake and valve cover. Oops forgot to add in cost for oil and a filter lol looks like I'm just around $200 with that lol
