Still hot. Supposedly cooling down some this weekend. I can't wait until I can open the house up again. Always feels so stuffy being closed up for the summer.
Minion got into Choir. She is so ecstatic. I am happy for her.
I am running some sea foam in the oil and gas of the truck to help clean off some valve deposits and such. It is also to hopefully help determine if my noise is lifters, exhaust, or bearings. I have noticed a difference in performance so it is doing something. I plan to run it for a week or 2 and then change the oil and do it again. I just really don't have the $$ to do a complete rebuild right now especially with machine shop costs. I am still keeping an eye open for another 300 to swap in as a cheaper option.

Greg, that's great about the minion making chior, good for her! Never used that Seafoam stuff, so can't offer an opinion. Hope it helps! I'm hoping to get the cab in primer this weekend. I stripped off the paint with chemical stipper, I hate that crap! But, with two coats of paint on it, cheaper and faster than using 800 sanding disc getting it cleaned off.

Morning everyone. I hope you had a great week and a better weekend.
I wish there was a motor lending program. That way I could swap in an engine while mine gets rebuilt and then return it when finished. No fuss, no muss, and no block taking up space in the garage when done.

Turn that block taking up space into a coffee table or something useful.

Goodevening guys,
Happy Friday!
I hope everyone had a great week.
Other than almost blowing the engine in my 4Runner today, my week went well. I obviously take better care of my Terex at work, than my personal vehicle. LOL
Any plans for the weekend?
We're probably going to Street Vibrations after I get my new work boots.($172.00) I wont be taking my bike, so don't worry.
Have a fun & safe weekend!
