Your tech got so hosed.  IIRC thats about the book time to pull a engine from the discovery. and that has miiiiles more space.

4 hours out. 5 hours in. add .5 hour if it has SAI. add .5hr if its a 5 speed or a p38. Down to loving science.

I hate creepers. they're good at allowing my head to find the low hanging fruits in a vehicle. Shop cranes should come with square wheels. I think they'd roll better. Dr.Pain has the best engine hoist though.

Motronic posted:Welcome to owning a business. Any business. the 2ish years of the Rover shop I ran was piles of hell for the first year. ended up taking a slave job to keep the rent paid and food on the table. about 13mos in the magic happened and I loved every minute of it. I still sort of hate letting it go to move out west, but the south was killing me. fwiw: I had fun working in goonshop for a while. and the friday brunch was awesome.

I'm not sure that one makes all that much torque. but its all in the tranny. You should set up cones and have a parking lot race ala top gear style. I think the offcamber hill would be tits. E: reasonably priced forklift hahaha Once you learn hydraulics its opening a door. a door to lazy. you start with little jacks, and the next thing you know you have a 5hp30 taken apart on your kitchen table. cursedshitbox fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Mar 11, 2014 |

Never heard of it. chinesium I presume? Airtex was the big sore in my rear end and everybody was pushing em hard a few years ago. I had so many that would die before their second tank of fuel. Nothing like getting a call from your customer. "yeah I'm in the middle of the woods, 30 miles from the nearest city, I had to walk 5 miles to call you, truck died and wont start, I think its the fuel pump" Bosch pumps 4 lyfe.

InitialDave posted:Holy poo poo, how much? For an EGR cooler? Am I missing something here? I did my own EGR/oilcooler stuff in the 07 I owned. took about a day because a month prior I did em on a E350 van. Yeah gently caress ever cracking a 6.0 open ever again. The 6.0 requires car-esque oil change intervals. you canfuckingnot change it like its a 12valve cummins or some other genset-ish engine. Doublefuck NV and their retarded rear end emissions laws. Atleast in CA I have the option of re-powering my poo poo with a cleaner and or better engine. Here? NO gently caress YOU. But that doesnt mean I cant keep a second "emission" engine around just for testing once a year.

some of us have a 1-1/8" drain plug placed horizontally right beside the driverside exhaust downpipe. It'll dump 7.5 quarts of high zddp 15-40 in about 10 seconds. Right on the exhaust system which makes a rainbow of oil. Good thing 5 gallon buckets and shop sized dust pans fit under the drat thing.
