You may not have too, it looks like we might be bringing the mother in law up north next weekend. She wants to see the lighthouse and goosbury falls so I will be up in your neck of the woods. We will have to meet up. We will be camping around Duluth somewhere. Let me know what you think. Anyone else want to get together and camp in Duluth next weekend, Jay, Dale, Lee, Leonard. Lets go!!!!!

Sounds too good to pass up......but I'm busy next weekend. Thanks for the invit tho.:-bigparty

Wish I could man but already have camping plans. Geez, I keep coming to the party late!

now i know
 

now I know why i was smoking so bad, i had a broken intake pushrod so that equals a dead cylinder that wasnt getting any air, also the lifter popped out of its bore so there went my oil pressure. So yeah then i have to call dealership that worked on my injector cups because i found brass shavings inside the valve covers..........

Sounding like less fun than you might have thought. Sorry for the broken pushrod. What is the "ETF" (estimated time of finish)? :-innocent

Etf
 

i have the motor pretty much put together now, i have the block and tranny mated now and its only a matter of time to get the two bolted fully, starter, turbo, cooling and intercooler and then I can start it to look for leaks, its gonna smoke like a bitch cause i swapped out to my new injectors but at least itll run again

finally running
 

its all over but for the cosmetics
