Got a whole hour and a half in on it tonight, dinner with in-laws again, sigh. Spending all night with them again tomorrow I think but still on schedule to get the head off Thursday.
Did the knuckle-busting work tonight; fuel rail/lines, intake manifold, passenger motor mount, acc belt and all the pulleys, except for the damn crank pulley; my impact doesn't seem to be strong enough to break it loose
That's gonna put a huge damper on things!
Talking to lots of vendors to try and get a grasp on what to do for the engine (re)build. AMS could do it quick but I-beam rods are on backorder. Blocks are on national backorder from Mitsubishi. Unconfirmed, but GSC S2 cams are on backorder too. Valvesprings not ready to ship till last week in November. FML.
I took insurance off the car today, it's gonna be down for at least a month at this rate
In the back of my mind I was soooorta hoping I could have bought a shortblock outright from a national engine builder and have this thing back on the road next week, but that dream died today. Sigh.
