Ahhh snap! hahaha

[maztang]

I love this shit!!!

[Bagman24]

Lol once again thanks for working on baby for me lol

[maztang]

Not a problem man, I wish I could do this for a living. I love troubleshooting!

[Bagman24]

Good cause its got a lot of trouble to shoot! Lol

[maztang]

hahaha, I got most of the parts in today. They some how lost the rotor and they didn't order the flange gasket so they got it all coming again. haha, I did get the cap, exhaust manifold gasket, and I got a fuel filter for it. I'm gonna install the gasket tonight and pull the piece off that needs to be welded and hit it up. Then when the flange gasket comes in, I will just need to replace it and you should hopefully be exhaust leak free. haha

[Bagman24]

That's cool man thanks lol and don't worry ill have a new project for you soon Lol

[maztang]

Sweet! Hey man, I just found out that I can eliminate a bunch of stuff under this hood. That tube with the hole in it that is part of the exhaust leak, I was looking at it all and it is doing nothing for the engine. There is only 1 vacuum line coming off it that goes to nothing, if you want I will go pick up 4 grade 8 bolts and lock washers, pull this thing off and pull the belt off and that will really clean up under your hood. Also, I want to put all new hardware on the exhaust because the nuts were very rusty and there were no lock washers installed on the manifold. Let me know if you want me to get the hardware for it as well. I would have sent you a text but this is so much easier than my pos phone! haha

[Bagman24]

Yea bro that's fine do what you need to fix her up and ill pay you when I come

[maztang]

Alright man, got the carb rebuilt, cleaned the air filter and oiled it (it was very nasty bro hahaha), installed a fuel filter, replaced the cap, rotor, and plugs, welded up the alternator mount, installed new exhaust manifold gaskets and all the hardware on the exhaust manifold, the pipe that was above the manifold I had to weld up (I couldn't find bolts anywhere local, they are M14 X 1.25), I also flipped that pipe over and backwards (kinda gets it out of the way), fixed a bunch of vacuum leaks, and got rid of some unneeded components on the engine. Tomorrow I go pick up the flange gasket and fire her up to check for any exhaust leaks and to see how she runs now. Oh, there was no flange gasket installed which was probably why it was leaking so bad from there. hahaha This beast is gonna run like a champ bro. Let me know when you plan on picking it up. Are you taking it to Border Bash this weekend?

[Bagman24]

Damn lol hopefully its good to go and no I'm not going to border bash I'm focusing on getting ready for risen.
I can't believe after $2500 getting that reman motor put in they put it back together so shitty.

[Bagman24]

Oh and we plan on picking it up early Saturday morning if your gonna be there.

[maztang]

Oh shit bro, who did the engine replacement? And where did you get it from? I thought this was the stock engine with all the oil leaks it has. Not trying to talk shit but for a remanufactured engine you shouldn't have these issues.

And yes, we will be here all weekend. haha My wallets broke like David's wrist! hahaha

[Bagman24]

A shop in bryan called Hills Automotive and I know it sucks bastards fucked me lol or fucked my bro n law cause he took it there and they did it and he never went for it. he paid a g then never went back it sat for a year before I decided to go get it and paid the remaining 1500

[maztang]

Damn man, that sucks bro. I should have everything fixed with the exception of the oil leaks when you pick her up. hahaha

[Bagman24]

Lol thanks bro well save the oil leak for another day hahaha. I'm hoping you'll be able to help me on that nissan project when I get it lol
