Report back with the results.



I almost spit my mouthful of coffee all over the keyboard on this 6 year old laptop!!

You guys are funny this morning! Thanks for the laughs...I needed them!

To the OP...if you are bored my man....Google "coke can engine" and build one. I find more relaxation in that than I do riding my motorcycle.
 
Are there any state parks near where you live? I love going hiking,etc, in state parks when I have an entire day to enjoy :^)

I have to debate "rest" and "nutrition" with "exercise" and "activity." DD (Dunkin Donuts) is really working me this week, with non-cashier activities. Then I need to come in and do that too (computer activity.)

I been feeling tired this week. Not sure why.

The truck is feeling good, i am having a lot of difficulty getting the hold-down bolt loosened.

AND, get this: The shop told me that, since the car failed for emissions, that THEY CANT WORK ON IT?? (NJ strikes again) . So I will HAVE to get that nut loosened.. About to get PB Blaster...
 
turk's idea is just .... crazy.a better idea would be to go out and buy some magic beans, and plant them when you return home.
make sure you rest today, to let your ribs start to heal.while resting, follow dparm's excellent advice -- beer.
tomorrow morning, the magic beans will have sprouted into a new 2014 ram truck.then, you can drive the blazer over a cliff, and your worries are gone.
N.B. -- JUMP OUT OF TRUCK BEFORE GOING OVER CLIFF,NOT AFTER.

Don't worry, that would be impossible - he'd have to push it!

I would spray the distributor screw with PB Blaster first.

nice suspension test, the over the cliff though............

If you are doing that I would take the can and start hitting the base of the Oxygen Sensor you plan to replace

That's a good idea too!

And call me stupid but, my ribs seem juuust not able to let me turn that hold-down bolt. I see it. it is on the passenger side and in this instance I am loosening only, not removing. i should be able to figure that out, I am sure it is the right nut.

I have to drive with it all out of whack a little more. Just water cleaned it again, since I am about to go on a trip.

Dude, stop "water cleaning" your engine. If you hydrolock it and bend a rod, or one exits the block can you fix it? No, you can't, you can't even turn a friggin' distributor hold-down bolt out at this point and you don't have the skills necessary to swap an engine or the funds to have somebody do it for you (again).

Stop killing it by "fixing it".

I notice from the running thread that there is a tool that I can use. I will get the PB Blaster to "begin" loosening the bolt by spraying at it, as this will make it easier to turn with/without that tool.

Pic of my custom tool coming up!

And i won't "water clean" it anymore. I rev it way up, let it suck the water.. I won't anymore. Got two gallons through it in a week.

Do you know how many engines between me and the rest of my family that we've put hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of miles on? Do you want to make a wild guess as to how many times we "seafoamed" or "water cleaned" them?

The even cooler part is that with proper maintenance, when I've done head swaps or other upgrades on some of those high mileage beauties they were still clean inside! and the spoiler to my second question is that it should be even more incredible given that none of them had ever suckled down two gallons of Tinker Bell's breast milk!!!

I get what you are saying. But I buy a lot of beaters, OVERKILL! Do ANY of those things help clean them? I kno wa lot like water more than Seafoam because Seafoam is a chemical that works questionably, if at all.. I always felt it cleaned, but water/steam clean doesnt it "clean things" out inside engine ?

I get what you are saying, you don't have to on your cars...

If its still running and not broke and if your going to try and flip it, why bother? K.I.S.S..... Is an amazing acronym but yet so true.
